A team of researchers from Cornell have taken a slightly different approach to how large-scale 3D printed construction might be accomplished. Using a smaller device which employs two large cylinders of a sort of toothpaste-like synthetic marble, Sasa Jokić, Petr Novikov and their team use compressed air to force the build material through flexible feeder tubes to small robots for deposition. They call their device a Minibuilder, and its advantages over gantry-based architectural printers might just find a foothold among #construction companies.
