What’s next with 3D printing? A concrete castle in your backyard

I slowly got used to the printing small objects, but the idea of being able to print some small (or big) houses doesn’t cease to amaze me.

In this project, Andrey Rudenko constructed a little castle in a yard using concrete printed in 3D. The walls and the more complicated parts like the tops of the towers have been printed separately, then assembled.

Rudenko seems very excited about this new technology as well, he said: “a new era of architecture is inevitable and I'm excited to see where the next few years will lead in terms of construction and design. I have previously been sure I could print homes, but having finished the castle, I now have proof that the technology is ready.”
