About
Moritz Frey is a pioneering researcher in the field of in-space manufacturing, with a focused expertise in additive manufacturing technologies for microgravity environments. His most notable contribution is the development of Direct Robotic Extrusion of Photopolymers (DREPP), a cost- and power-efficient method for fabricating structures directly in space. This work, published in 2022 and garnering 13 citations, demonstrates how DREPP can overcome the severe limitations of conventional deployable structures, offering a transformative approach to building large-scale components beyond Earth. Frey’s research addresses critical challenges in space exploration, including the need for autonomous, resource-efficient construction methods that reduce reliance on Earth-based supplies. By exploring the influence of microgravity on photopolymer extrusion, he has laid the groundwork for future orbital manufacturing systems. His achievements highlight a forward-thinking vision for sustainable space infrastructure, positioning him as a key figure in advancing the practical realization of in-space fabrication.
