German regional government tests 3D-printed house

A house is being built by 3D printing in Germany's Beckum.

According to the government of North Rhine-Westphalia, a house is being built by 3D printing in Germany's Beckum with special concrete which makes it possible, layer after layer, to build the walls of this two-storey house with a total area of 160 m2.

The construction of this house is a pilot project launched by the regional government to determine whether 3D construction is faster and more flexible than "conventional" construction.
