3D printing, once a tool for small-scale model creation, is now breaking ground—literally. From bridges in Amsterdam to houses in Mexico, 3D printed structures are becoming a reality.
As technologies improve and scales grow, the potential for 3D printing in architecture seems limitless. The fusion of these fields promises a future where buildings might rise as swiftly as they’re designed.
Rapid Prototyping and Beyond:
While the technology’s most common use in architecture remains rapid prototyping, visionaries are pushing the boundaries. Some predict entire neighborhoods built from 3D printers, promising faster construction times and a reduction in waste.
