Robotic system can 3-D print basic structure of an entire building

“Architectural-scale dome section case study for 3-D printing system (top view). For initial tests, the system fabricated the foam-insulation framework used to form a finished concrete structure. As a proof of concept, the researchers used a prototype to build the basic structure of the walls of a 50-foot-diameter, 12-foot-high dome — a project that was completed in less than 14 hours of “printing” time…”
