Building a house with a 3D printer |
|
Three dimensional printing starts to play a role in the future of architecture. In Switzerland a university is investing in new innovative construction techniques, while in Amsterdam a canal house is constructed with a huge homemade 3d printer. It seems 3d printing will change architecture and construction totally. With a few printers at location one can build a complete house, eliminating waste, cutting on transport costs and high level of detail is no longer more expensive. It will no longer be cheaper to have things produced in faraway countries like China. The design and construction of the 3D print canal house is an experiment to learn more about and develop the technique. Swiss reporter Fritz Muri comes to Amsterdam to discover and cover this revolutionary development.
Activities: research and set-up.
