On March 29, 2014, Shanghai became
home to ten 3D printed houses made of
concrete. Each was 200 square meters
and cost about $4800. The company
behind this feat, WinSun Decoration
Design Engineering Co, has now
produced another first, a full 5 story
residential building and a villa
measuring about 1,100 square meters
in total with external and internal
decorations and it’s completely 3D
printed.
WinSun has been operating for over a
decade now (its their twelfth year in
business) and already they have 98
patents for building materials. They’ve
been experimenting with 3D printing for
quite a while. In 2004 and 2005 they
built a spray nozzle 3D printing system
with automatic material feeding. Then
they printed a wall in 2008.
Now
they’re building villas and soon they’ll
be replicating skyscrapers. The villa
itself was produced for the Taiwanese
owned real estate firm, Tomson Group.
It was constructed for a total of 1
million yuan ($161000) and ten more
have been pre-ordered.
