Giant KamerMaker 3D Printer Can Print Entire Rooms
[Philip Lelyveld comment: there is a good conceptual video in this story. No, the device they show is too small to print rooms. Closets, maybe.]
The KamerMaker is "the world’s first movable pavilion that can 3D print entire rooms of plastics." The giant 3D printer was built to demonstrate 3D printing to the public and to push the limits of the technology. It's running now in a park in Amsterdam, where DUS architects are open four days a week so that "Everyone can watch the live testing of the print techniques and contribute in the building process of the KamerMaker". It's BIG- it can turn out objects measuring up to 6.6' x 6.6' x 12' high, using PLA plastic. " The KamerMaker itself is a pavilion, that can reproduce small pavilions!"
