D'oh, I totally should have thought of that.
Provided you have a decent power source that's easy: the hardest part is getting your raw material into the chamber and disposing of the debris afterwards. Humans driving flat-pack bulldozers, most likely.

You could probably heat up the regolith while it's on a conveyor belt and use a negative pressure system to draw off the vapour through cooling tubes, so it could operate continuously.

Would work on the Moon, too.
