Manufacturing Minute: A 3D Printer That Can Build A Home

An Italian company in the additive manufacturing industry has engineered a 3D printer that takes the housing industry to a whole new level.

The World’s Advanced Saving Project, or WASP, created a 40-foot-tall and 20-foot-wide printer called Big Delta. This printer constructs low-cost houses using inexpensive materials such as clay or dirt to combat the global housing crisis.

The giant printer is composed of a metal frame with a rotating nozzle in the center which, using a low amount of energy, forms a structure by layers.
