Over recent years, we've seen the rise of the cutting-edge 3D printer. Amazingly, it can print 3D objects using clever software and super-accurate machinery. What is really amazing though, is the idea of building a house by using a 3D printer to create the main structure. Is this really possible? Well, Dutch Architects, Universe Architects are attempting the first ever 3D printed house. The project is called 'Landscape House' and will be constructed out of large printed sections of up to 6x9m in size. The specialist printer that enables this is called a D-Shape printer. The giant sections are made from sand and a binding agent and will later be reinforced with a fibre-concrete to add stability to the overall structure. The project is estimated to take 18 months and when complete, it is hoped that it will be open to the public.
