Industry having successfully demonstrated that basic building block structural elements can automatically be produced by a beam builder on the ground, this paper discusses the next step required to demonstrate this capability in space in preparation for large structures construction. The ground demonstration beam builder is described in considerable detail. Concepts of additional automated machinery required for large structures construction demonstration are discussed in a step by step fashion. These concepts are projected as being required as forerunners to the construction of large structures production facility in space. (Se.)
