At first it sounds like a hoax or a concept from the distant future, but a Chinese company is demonstrating that you can “print” houses more efficiently and at a much lower cost than using traditional building methods.

In addition, recycled materials can be used as the “ink” to build the houses, making them affordable and sustainable. This leap forward in using 3D printing techniques for home construction has been pioneered by China’s WinSun Decoration Design Engineering . Their first revolutionary move came in April 2014. At a time when engineers in the United States and Europe were only experimenting with the possibilities of 3D printing of houses, WinSun used 3D printing technology to construct 10 houses , each 200 square meters in area, in just 24 hours.

This year, WinSun took another big step forward in the field of 3D printing when it succeeded in producing a five-story […]
