A Chinese company has just inaugurated the 5-storey apartment and villa 100m 2 built with a 3D printer 6,4m high, 9,7m wide and 152m long.

"Ink" used for printing is a mixture of construction waste such as glass, steel and cement. "Ink" is sprayed on each layer until a thick wall is created.
Ma Yi He, CEO of WinSun (China), said that the construction industry is emitting a lot of carbon, but with 3D printing technology, there will be no emissions and recycling of waste materials. waste. This technology also makes workers less exposed to toxic, cleaner and less noise.
This process is very expensive, so the price of a 3D print house is estimated at £ 100,000 (£ 3.2 billion), but it's still cheaper than a typical English house.
More than 20,000 homes have been ordered and each house is only printed within a day.
