Your next home could be a 3D-printed hut.
Researchers at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia in Spain, have created an ingenious three-step process, called Minibuilders, for 3D-printing a simple home that looks less like the product of construction, and more like something that grew straight out of nature.
In a six-month-long project led by robotics researcher and inventor Sasa Jokic, the IAAC employed three robots. The "Foundation" robot, the first and largest robot, uses a line sensor to follow a preset pattern on the ground to trace out, and build up, the home’s foundation. It's equipped with a 3D material extruder, which continuously applies an approximately 1-inch deep by 1-to-2-inch wide coating of quick-hardening material Read more...
