Chinese company builds 10 3D-printed houses in 24 hours

In a first, a Chinese company has built a group of 10 completely 3-D printed houses, created entirely out of recycled materials, in just under a day.
The houses, each covering an area of 200 square metres, in Shanghai's Qingpu district are made of concrete.
An enormous 3D printer, measuring 500-feet-long, 33-feet-wide, and 20-feet-high, was used to print each of the structural components of the houses which will cost USD 4,800 each.
The company behind the 3D printed houses, Shanghai WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co said the buildings are printed with special "ink" that has been transformed from industrial construction waste, 'ecns.Cn' reported.

Such a new type of 3D-printed structure is environment-friendly and cost-effective, according to Ma Yihe, CEO of the company.
According to China News Service (CNS), Ma plans to open 100 recycling factories in China and continue transforming waste into cost-effective "ink" for 3D printers.
