Shelter is one of the most basic human need. But building houses had become a very difficult task mostly due to the facts that a lot of countries simply didn’t have enough construction workers and the amount of money involve in building houses for the population.

So, what can we do to tackle all this problem? We print houses with 3D printer of course!

Recently in east China, a private company had use a set of giant 3D printer to print out not just 1 but 10 houses. The one-story houses look like other ordinary houses, the only different is these houses was build using an intelligent printing array.

This intelligent printing array is made of 4 printers that use automatic spray to print out the house wall layer by layer. The material it use to print these wall is a combination of cement and construction waste.

Ma Yihe, the inventor of this giant 3D printer and his team are very proud of their quick-dry cement technology which make the printed materials to dry at a very fast rate. This new technology however, is still kept secret.

This printer also said to be eviroment friendly and cost effective.

Nevertheless, since this technology is so new and cost-effective, some peoples online had been questioning if the houses that was build using this technique is safe to live in and if these houses will be able to stand a natural disaster such as earth quake and tornado...and volcanic eruption. OK, I just made up the volcanic eruption part :-P

Anyway,
