Drones improve printed homes

-

Modern 3D printed houses are limited by the fact that the printer must be able to include the structure. So, Chinese engineers aim to leave the constructi­on to drones, which can print any structure, no matter its dimensions. In March 2018, a Chinese company demonstrat­ed the technology at a 3D printing fair in Shanghai. The company made a tiny version of the Fly Elephant 3D printer fly about printing concrete of different patterns. According to plan, even skyscraper­s will be built like this in the future.
