From the article
>The organization will use the Crane WASP, a large-format 3D printer that can print directly using natural resources like agricultural waste and nearby dirt instead of requiring concrete, reports a media outlet.
>The equipment is versatile and mobile, making it ideal for use in difficult terrains where large, stationary machines can’t operate. Its low energy consumption makes it suitable for remote areas, including deserts.
>It consists of a main printer unit that can be combined in various ways based on the printing area and, consequently, the dimensions of the architectural structure that need to be computed in three dimensions. The single module has a print area of 8.2 meters in diameter by 3 meters in height.
I want to see how utilities and windows/doors or interior walls might be added, even in reimagined versions of those features.
Same as with Earthships, we need to figure out how structures can be modified, added onto. How about adopting the Earthship’s ability to capture rainwater. Successful structures are all about progressions.
