You might assume 3D printers work at a relatively small scale – think cellphone cases and toothbrush holders. But advances in 3D printing technology have allowed the hardware to scale up in a serious way.

Large-scale additive manufacturing, like desktop 3D printing, involves building objects one layer at a time. Whether it's clay, concrete or plastic, the print material is extruded in a fluid state and hardens into its final form

Not since the adoption of the steel frame has there been a development with as much potential to transform the way buildings are conceived and constructed.

Future buildings may be built entirely from recycled materials or materials sourced on-site, with forms inspired by the geometries of nature.

While some roadblocks to the widespread adoption of this technology still exist, I can foresee a future in which buildings are built entirely from recycled materials or materials sourced on-site, with forms inspired by the geometries of nature.
