This 3D Printer Is HUGE!



This thing can literally build a house!

Created in Italy, it is called BigDelta.  It's called the World's Advanced Saving Project...or WASP, as it's acronym, and it's the world's largest 3D printer.  it uses clay, and like a regular 3D printer, it builds up layers to create structures like no other printer out there!  Why is it unlike any other printer?  It stands 12 meters, or 40 feet, tall and like I said, it can literally build a house!

It was unveiled this week by WASP in Italy, and they are touting this as the next big thing in construction, helping build housing for the ever growing population.  The thoughts of the creators of this printer is that it could help rebuild war-torn environments, and help people in these areas get back to normal life.  It could also help with areas hit by natural disasters like tornadoes, hurricanes, or forest fires.

I know this one is short, but damn if it isn't cool!
