World’s Biggest 3D Printed Building
Germany’s Latest 3D Printed Building Set to be Europe’s Largest
The world of construction is constantly evolving with new technologies being introduced to speed up the building process. The latest addition to this realm is the use of 3D printing. Engineers in Germany have just completed what is set to be Europe’s largest 3D printed building. This building comes six months after the world’s largest 3D printed building was built in Dubai.
With just two people working for six days on site, this 3D printed building a marvel of speedy and efficient construction. The building was created using a large printer that was capable of printing walls that can then be placed together to form a complete structure. The use of this machine meant the process was quick and easy, taking only a fraction of the time it would have taken if traditional construction methods were used.
The applications for 3D printing in the construction industry are endless, and it is just a matter of time before the technology becomes the norm rather than the exception. Its cost-effectiveness and efficiency make it an attractive option for many builders.
It is not just engineers in Germany and Dubai that are using 3D printing technology for construction. In China, a company has recently completed a 3D printed villa and in the United States, 3D printed homes have already become a reality, with a company set to build 50 3D printed houses in Texas.
It is clear that the bar for building construction with 3D printers is constantly rising, and engineers are continuously pushing the boundaries of what is possible. The future of construction looks exciting, with 3D printing technology poised to transform the industry.
