Inside Audi's wonderfully improbable Moon project (SLM Solutions)
Inside Audi's wonderfully improbable project to put a rover on the Moon - January 11, 2016
An excerpt from the article:
Audi has helped perfect the 3D printing process to create nearly the entire rover out of aluminum and titanium. It uses special channels to route wiring inside hollow structural components, something that couldn't be done with a CNC process. "It's not possible from the axis of freedom," says Robert Böhme, CEO of PT Scientists. "The parts are like 1 millimeter thick."
3D printing isn't just going to contribute to the building of the rover. The team wants to create a 3D printer that can use lunar soil already chock full of aluminum, titanium, and magnesium to eventually create parts for other devices on the Moon. The theory is that it's a lot easier to build something new on the Moon than it is to ship it there.

With Audi’s help, a team of scientists is going after the moon with an all-new rover design — and it could launch next year.
PARTNERS - The driving force behind the technological developments of the PT Scientists mission to the moon are it’s industrial and academic partnerships.
