Robot Builds Europe's First 3D-Printed House in 48 Hours
As part of the Salone del Mobile design festival, presented by Engineering firm Arup and CLS Architects, the house demonstrates the role 3D printing can play in reducing construction waste and increase efficiency. It also allows for materials to be reused at the end of the building's life, as opposed to ending up in landfill, demonstrating sustainability throughout the building process. A robot from Cybe Construction was used to print the one storey concrete walls, while the roof, windows and doors were completed afterwards. Set apart from other 3D processes the project's uses a robotic manipulator mounted on a portable base.
