The world’s first 3D printed school has completed construction in Malawi, Africa. The project used a BOD2 printer from COBOD. The 600-sf school’s walls were 3D printed in just 18 hours. The school will help attract more students and provide facilities for a country with a shortage of 36,000 classrooms. This shortage would take an estimated 70 years to build using conventional methods and speed. . .
