Neri Oxman and MIT show new approach to 3D printing buildings 3D Printing Processes

The list of materials that can be produced by 3D printing has grown to include not just plastics but also metal, glass, and even food. Now, MIT researchers are expanding the list further, with the design of a system that can 3D print the basic structure of an entire building. One interesting question that comes up is whether this system will be combined wiht Neri Oxman group’s glass 3D printing technology, thus enabling a truly integrated process for 3D printing buildings
