Dutch firm to build world’s first 3D printed house
Dutch architecture firm Universe Architecture has revealed ambitions to build the world's first 3D printed house.
The team, led by Janjaap Ruijssenaars, hopes to use a D-Shape 3D printer to form a Möbius strip-shaped structure and create a building that is 'endless' in its design.
The 1,000m2 Landscape House will be made up of 6 x 9m panels interlocked together.
The panels themselves will be created using thin layers of sand and inorganic binder. Each frame section will be filled with fibreglass and concrete to provide rigidity.
Universe Architecture hopes to have the building complete by 2014. The build cost is estimated at around €5million (£4.2m).
