3D Printed Houses In China

YT: China's first buildings made with 3D printing technology were put into use in Shanghai recently.

Without using a single piece of brick and a tile, ten gray-color buildings were erected in Qingpu District of Shanghai earlier this month.

Looking from a distance, the buildings that were made with 3D printers are not different from the regular ones. But on a closer look, their walls seem like layered cakes with hundreds of gray layers piled up together.

The wall bodies were printed out by 3D printers which were developed by the Suzhou Yingchuang Science and Trade Development Co., Ltd. in east China's Jiangsu Province.

"The building materials are all printed out by our 3D-printers layer by layer and we piled them up. All the layers are firmly connected with each other. They won't separate, neither will they deform and collapse," said Ma Yihe, president of Suzhou Yingchuang Science and Trade Development Co., Ltd.
