Meet Kamermaker the ‘room-maker’, world’s first super-size 3D printer

It does what it says on the tin. Architectburo DUS, a dutch design firm, and Utilimaker teamed up, turned a shipping container on its side and shoehorned 3D printing technology into the mix. The result is Kamermaker, “Kamer” meaning room in Dutch. With maximum printing dimensions of 2 meter square and 3.5 meters high, this beast could crap out your next coffee table.

Nice mockup. Who are the empty faced people though?

We know how standard 3D printers work, but the Kamermaker marches to the beat of a different drum. Instead of squirting plastic into layers to build a 3D model, Kamermaker squeezes together tiny plastic pellets to produce lamps, couches, rooms and at this rate, even cars could theoretically be printed by the Room-maker. We’ll let this video speak for Kamermaker.

A brave new world indeed
