I am fascinated by 3D printing, but it is so ubiquitous as a go-to subject of technology magazines and blogs, that it is easy to begin to suffer from ennui. Except it isn't, because every so often I come across a flipping amazing application or variation of the technology that reminds me that we really are on the cusp of a technological revolution (an exciting time to be an engineer!).
The latest example I have come across is something called 'Contour Crafting', aka 3D printed houses!
According to Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis in his excellent TED talk, a custom-designed house will be able to be built in less than a day for a fraction of the cost of traditional methods, without compromising structural integrity. Well worth a watch!
