“A Dutch Architect Is Interested In 3D Printing A Home”

A Moebius strip of a home is to be wholly created by a 3D printer in 2014. From Techcrunch:

“A Dutch architect is interested in 3D printing a home, with the hopes that it’ll be ready by 2014.

The architect’s name is Janjaap Ruijssenaars of Universe Architecture, and his project is a part of the Europan competition, which lets architects in over 15 different countries build projects over the course of two years.

Ruijssenaars will work with Italian inventor Enrico Dini, founder of the D-Shape 3D printer. The plan is to print out 6×9 chunks of frame, comprised of sand and inorganic binder. From there, they’ll fill the frame with fiber-reinforced concrete.

The final product will be a single flowing design, a two-story building.”
