Mechanical annealing is a useful manufacturing tool. It requires a Young's Modulus above 60GPa @ STP.
At colder temperatures, weaker materials may not crumble when you try to squeeze their nanoparticles together or scoop them into a sculpture. Most likely they will turn to tgoo if the temperature is raised. Earth does -40C okay. Outwards of the asteroid belt and inwards from Saturn orbit is a temperature where manufacturing and operating usage has a temperature cost advantage. Not all materials will work. Bismuth might. Cadmium (a diatom nutrient). Granite. Mg. Nylon-66. Selenium. teeny Thorium. Sb. Asteroids not too toxic should suffice for whatever manufacturing activities.
Thermal cycling is to be limited thus away from planets. Quiet from habitation. There are bio possibilities too though freeze drying is an issue and pharmaceuticals justify the cost maybe not nutrients.
