substituted for a physical mock-up in checking plans for internal consistency. Once engineers had corrected the plans, CATIA produced the digital settings for the computer-numerically-controlled (CNC) machine tools that would fabricate the 777’s parts. Boeing purchased the CATIA system as part of an effort to pursue several competitive strategies

is the most easily machined metal used in engineering designs and has excellent castability. Thus, magnesium replacement parts could be fabricated from regolith using a computer numerical control milling machine, leading to decreased dependence on Earth-based manufacturing. Magnesium is a diamagnetic material, with a magnetic susceptibility of 1.2 x 10−5

now computerized. Rather than being operated by hand, they are directed by a computer system that follows a digital design—known as ‘digital fabrication’, or ‘computer numerical control’ (CNC). Traditionally, these machines were subtractive—the final object was milled out of a larger object, or cut from a large sheet of material. New
