Nanyang Technological University look into a solution to 3D printing structures
A team led by NTU Singapore’s Assistant Professor Pham Quang Cuong began looking into a solution to 3D printing building structures with two or more robots at the same time.

3D printed structures usually suffer from scale problems
Joining two separately constructed pieces weakens the bond strength
Currently, 3D-printed structures suffer from scale problems. It’s difficult to print a structure much larger than the printer. Typically, the way around it is to have robots print pieces one after ...
