World's largest 3D printer can print a house in less than 80 hours

The University of Maine has unveiled the world's largest 3D printer, which has the potential to change the future of construction. The "Factory of the Future" device can print objects measuring 96x32x18 feet at a speed of up to 500 pounds per hour.

Here's What We Know

According to the university, the printer can dynamically switch between different printing methods, including large-scale additive and subtractive manufacturing, as well as robotic arms and continuous tape overlay.

The most promising feature of this technology is its ability to print entire houses in less than 80 hours.

Everything printed by this printer can be reused, reducing waste in the construction industry.

Engineers are also planning to use this technology to create vehicles, including submarines and warships, which opens up new prospects for national security.
