NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge seeks to foster development of new technologies to additively manufacture a habitat using local indigenous materials with, or without, recyclable materials, in space and on Earth.
In other words, we want America's best and brightest to help us figure out how to build a house on Mars, using advanced 3D printing technology in the most efficient and sustainable way possible. Sound like something you'd see in a movie? Maybe. But, Mars is our next frontier. And the technologies we develop can have applications today, and help advance America's leadership in technology and innovation.

I wonder if Solar sintering [www.markuskayser.com] would be appropriate.
What a stunningly brilliant idea! It takes a certain amount of courage to take mechanical high-tech into a desert though.

Pity they couldnt make huge ice domes(or with some other goop instead of water), with an inflatable solar balloon as the inside skin....it's below freezing most of the time but your a bit screwed when the temp warms up, unless some other resin/polymer could be produced.
