The aim of the project is to test the utilisation of additive manufacturing technology (3D-printing) in connection to development of new Troll research station at Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. There is definitely a need f…
or supply of spare parts of different types for repair of structures and vehicles at the research station. Moreover, many research activities meet challenges while performing experiments dove to need for some adjustments and repair of equipment. These challenges can easily be solved by local additiv
e manufacturing. It is therefore required to test technology prior to final decision on use of 3D printing at Troll station. The testing of the equipment will be executed at research stations Ineguine, at Ny �lesund, Norway.
