ORONO, Maine (AP) — The University of Maine has unveiled the world’s largest 3D printer, which has the capability to revolutionize construction processes. This new printer, four times larger than its predecessor, was showcased at the university and is poised to pave the way for the creation of entire neighborhoods using cutting-edge technology.
The printer, known as the “Factory of the Future 1.0,” utilizes thermoplastic polymers to construct objects and structures. It integrates robotics operations, advanced sensors, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence to enhance its printing capabilities.
