An invention of a room-sized 3D printer?

GURGAON, India - April 10, 2018 - PRLog -- Torbjørn Ludvigsen is a Swedish inventor whose company – Replicating Rapid Prototyper (RepRap) – is busy raising funds to develop the Hangprinter. He was just a student when he began designing the 3D printer and being tight on money, he decided to cut out the unnecessary part of the printer- the frame or box.

Hence, as the name suggests, this suspended 3D printer now uses the walls and ceiling of a room as its "frame" and can be used to print furniture-sized objects in an entire room.

While the cable-driven 3D printers are already in existence, this 3D printer is different. It uses a frameless 3-D printing system which is cheaper to assemble – a mere USD250. It uses an entire house as a 3D printer frame and all parts of the suspended 3D printer are mounted on a single moving unit.

The self-replicating machine is designed to manufacture a large fraction of its own parts.

Will RepRap revolutionize the constructions of low-cost buildings for the developing nations?
