Taken from some kind of moon base which will most likely be not built from materials which we send up from earth. after all, the moon is not made of cheese, you know. the technology that will be required to rebuild the moon base with 3d printing is actually going to be a completely different form factor. it has to be, because the challenges of building there. so, you are probably looking at something that is a robotic arm that gathers local materials and then effectively melts them into place so you can continue to build on top of them. homes of the future have been ten to the dollar through t...

And here's another strange thing. although some of the walls will be covered with tiles and the like, most of them will retain this rather unusual beaded texture. we are really proud of our beads. we are going to let them stand out and speak loudly, but we want to accentuate them with some accents. just to be clear, you are not going to render this or cover this pattern? this will be part of what the residents see? correct. the show home we started in is called house zero, and that was designed by a different architecture firm. it's more of a show home of what could be possible in the future. ...

Researchers in the US wanted to understand more about how 3D-printed food technology could enhance the culinary experience.
