 3d Printing’s new big thing is coming  from MIT. Making buildings

—————————————————————————————————————————————–


 

 3D printing is in technological era making their footprints more and more powerful and  adventures.
Mechanical Engineering PhD defense Mr. Steven Keating at the Massachusetts Institute  of   Technology (MIT) in August 2016.
In Mr. Steven Keating’s presentation about MIT’s new invention to make 3d printed buildings. According to Mr. Steven’s,” this robot can make building in 14 hours”. This “Digital Construction Platform” — is intended to be self-sufficient, but right now it requires  humans to monitor it for safety reasons. In the test, the researchers programmed the  prototype to create a dome and used a spray foam commonly used in buildings and  homes. The whole system can be powered electrically or with solar panels. “With this  process, we can replace one of the key parts of making a building, right now. It could be  integrated into a building site tomorrow,” said Steven Keating, co-author of a paper  published in the journal “Science Robotics.
 “in the future, to have something totally autonomous, that you could send to the moon  or Mars or Antarctica, and it would just go out and make these buildings for years,”
