Protecting a country
might be easier than expected as scaled up 3D printing technology could be used
to build a house in under 24 hours, according to an engineer from the
University of Southern California.

Contour Crafting is a layered fabrication
technology that uses a huge movable gantry to build a house in the same way
that a 3D printer deposits layers of plastic. Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis
Engineer from the University
of Southern California.claims that his Contour Crafting construction method can build entire
houses with all the fixtures and fittings.
A
16-man strong team of 'next-generation engineers' from Belgium designed the
car, which can go from 0 to 60mph in just four seconds, and can reach 141km/h
(87mph). Once the engine was added, the 3D car was ready for its test run, which
was completed on the race track earlier this month. It has now also completed a
circuit at Silver stone in the UK. A spokesman for materials said: 'With a
build envelope that is massive, the Formula Group T team recognised the
possibility to not only print the entire body of the car, but to also integrate
some unique features directly into its design.
Contour Crafting For small objects
s a scaled up version of 3D printing. Maker Bot (above) is a 3D printer that
costs around £600 and uses reels of plastic to print objects. On the Field Strong
walls are built up layer by layer using concrete with automatic reinforcement,
while plumbing and electrics are also added by the system during the building
process.

The nature of the technology means it will also be possible to
create curved walls and architecture that is both 'exotic' and 'beautiful',
according wise labs technologies incorporated into their Eco-friendly
race car included an electric drive train, bio-composite materials, and of
course, 3D printing on a grand scale with Material's 'Therefore,
working in close collaboration with engineers can materialise. This is exactly
what they achieved from going from initial shell design to a fully finished 3D
Printed car body in just 'three weeks' it will become a cost effective way of driving price with all the required safety.

'3D printing its still in its infancy,
although commercial and even domestic printers are now hitting the market. The
technology opens up the exciting world of 3D printing to both industry and the
public, with many applications in science and medicine. For instance, in the
future, you may be able to print out small items for your life - almost
anything from cups to trainers. The medical applications are also significant. The
technology has been trialled in dental work and bone reconstruction, with one
lady having her jaw reconstructed via 3D printing following a bone infection.
Concrete is deposited in
layers through a nozzle that moves around the building site with the help of a
gantry as the intricate printing process saw much of the
car's inner-structure built in to the design, making the shell of the vehicle
practically complete once printed, needing little more than wheels and an
engine to start moving

. Both the right and left sides of the car were designed
and printed with 'complex cooling channels.' Printed into the left side pod are a
nozzle behind the radiator and a diffuser, which optimised cooling by creating
the ideal flow of air through the radiator. A fan was also installed behind the
radiator in order to help airflow even at low speeds and while the car is
stationary.

In the right side pod, complex channels were developed and printed
to create a cyclone effect that removes water and dirt from the air before it
enters the engine compartment. The intricate printing process saw much of the
car's inner-structure built in to the design, making the shell of the vehicle
practically complete once printed. this tank comes complete with its own knocking game knock knock, it disappeared o that's OK then 'perfactly' written by Wise Labs.
