Top 5 Videos: Only Two Workers Needed to Construct World’s Biggest 3D Printed Building

It is once again Sunday, which means it is time for the week’s top 5 3D printing videos! This weeks content features the three part Voices AMplified series, the largest 3D printed building known to date being built in Germany, China’s plan to build on the moon with additive manufacturing, and exploring what mass customization means in 3D printing! Check out the videos below to learn about the newest and most relevant information of the week in the world of 3D printing. Happy Sunday, and as always, hope you enjoy!

Top 1: Voices AMplified: Hearing From Attendees of RAPID + TCT 2023

Voices AMplified is a new, three-part series in collaboration with SME, the main organizer of RAPID + TCT 2023, the largest additive manufacturing trade show in North America that captivated the 3D printing world just a. few weeks ago. Through the video series, 3Dnatives will be covering the latest trends and impressions from the event from all angles. In this 1st episode, we focused on attendees enjoying the show, the importance of AM for some industrial uses and how RAPID + TCT, and how 3D printing will look in 10 years. Also, don’t forget to check out part two and three which can be found on the 3Dnatives youtube channel, which take a look at the event from the point of view of the speakers and exhibitors!

Top 2: 3D Printed Building Under Construction in Germany

Only two personnel were required to supervise the construction of Heidelberg, in Germany’s southernmost city, which is billed as “Europe’s largest 3D-printed building” by its developer. The method of construction entails a robotic arm that distributes a layer of cement on top of the previous layer, creating a ‘paperstack-esque’ design. The building will be 55 meters long, 11 meters wide, and 9 meters high and will take a mere 140 hours to build entirely from scratch, all with just two workers on site! 3D printing is truly changing the face of construction, with innovations that allows head-scratching opportunities that were once thought impossible. When the construction is finished, the location will host a data center for servers.
