3D Printing of a 5-Storey House
Here’s the house:
3D printed 5 storey apartment building by WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co, Shanghai, China (WinSun Co.)
It was made by WinSun WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co, Shanghai, China using their massive (perhaps the largest in the world) 3D printer, 20 feet tall, 33 feet wide, and 132 feet long. One of the other great things about the building is that it was printed using recycled building materials!
Here’s a video of the process:
As engineers, we at TMG feel that building a printer of this size to print with a liquid cement-type material is not all that complicated, one reason being that the resolution of the printer need not be microscopic, another being that precision heating of the feed will likely not be necessary. But credit does go to Winsun for thinking of the idea first!
