In the Netherlands began to "print" the house of bioplastics

While American scientists under the leadership of Professor Khoshnevis only preparing to create a 3D printer capable of just a day print a real house made of concrete, their colleagues from the Dutch company Dus Architects have begun building in Amsterdam of the house, which will clearly show all the equipment for 3D printing.



Using the printer KarmaMaker, scientists to a prepared end of the building will strengthen the walls using a familiar on the popular children's designers of Lego technology connection. Such construction techniques is convenient because involves the following easy alterations, which practically will not demand efforts. Unnecessary barriers three dozen rooms in the initial project, you can simply disconnect them and put instead of them.

Unattractive on the outside of the building will be easy to hide, using, for example, ground siding Deck. Deserves the project of the company Dus Architects and the material from which will be built. They were selected bioplastics, developed by engineers of the company Henkel, which is based on microfiber and vegetable oil. In addition to the Biodegradability, this building material is convenient because of the fact that after using it there is almost no traditional construction debris. The original components brought to the construction site in containers, where they get into the printer KarmaMaker. And the remains can be collected in the future using for the same purpose.

Representatives of Dus Architects, despite the fact that the implementation of the project is only at the initial stage, you can already see this technology endless possibilities. The replication of these buildings actually disappear the dismantling of old structures and construction of their new location. The same 3D printer will be able to simply melt down in the original plastics, and it is to build a new facility.
