Building Ten 3D Printed Houses In One Day! [Video]

A materials firm in China has reportedly devised a way to rapidly 3D-print 10 houses in just 24 hours. Using a custom-built machine that produces a layered combination of discarded construction materials and cement, the Suzhou-based Winsun New Materials company’s pioneering system has the potential to redefine mass housing as we know it.

While the houses look rather dull, their efficient and inexpensive production could be readily applied to large cities facing housing shortages. Each building consists of 3D-printed walls and foundations, while the roofs are made of metallic sheets. A single printing assembly line can produce up to four buildings at a time, costing under $5,000 to print each structure.
