The company 'WinSun' in China unveiled buildings constructed using 3D printing technology. This five-story building is the largest structure ever built with a 3D printer. A mixture of cement and recycled materials was used for its construction, allowing for a significant reduction in building costs. Last year, 'WinSun' reported in a Quartz article that it was able to build 10 one-bedroom houses in less than 24 hours using a 3D printer. The cost of constructing each of these one-bedroom houses was approximately $4,800. According to the website 'TreeHugger', 'WinSun' announced at the inauguration of these two buildings and at an exhibition that both structures were built with the help of 3D printing technology. Building inspectors from the company 'Rongkuan' visited both buildings and confirmed that they meet full construction standards. The use of recycled materials encourages investors to become interested in and participate in this technology. The report states that Taiwan has signed a contract with 'WinSun' to build several residential complexes. The Egyptian government has also ordered 20,000 small one-bedroom houses. According to the website 'CityLab', 'WinSun' announced in a statement that it will soon begin its construction projects in 20 countries around the world, including the USA, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. The company is also working on a project to convert desert sand into construction materials for building structures.
