Ten 3D printing building have been built in Qingpu, Shanghai in August 21. Used as a local relocation project office space. These "print out" wall is special "ink" made ​​with construction waste. In accordance with the design drawings and computer programs by a large 3D printers. It just takes 24 hours to print out all 10 houses.

The "Ink "will soon solidified after extrusion, ensure the printer can print continuously.
After the house have been built. Installing windows and doors, lined up all kinds of wire and pipe. Follow by the floorings and furniture from the 3D, the owners can move in in a month.
