While architecture firms elsewhere compete with their designs for 3D-printed buildings WinSun has quietly been setting about getting the job done in March 2014, WinSun printed 10 houses in 24 hours with a proprietary 3D printer that uses a mixture of Earth construction and industrial waste, such as glass and tailings, around a base of quick-drying cement mixed with a special hardening agent.
WinSun used a 3D printer array is at 6.6 feet high, 10 feet wide and 40 feet long (20 of 33 of 132 feet) to print the building's large pieces. Structures are then assembled on site, complete with steel reinforcements and insulation in order to comply with official construction standards.
