Japan Created 3D-Printed Train Station
▪ Japan has constructed the world’s first 3D-printed railway station (Hatsushima Station), completed in just 6 hours using additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology.
▪ The station’s 3D-printed parts, made with special mortar reinforced with concrete, were transported by separate trucks to the construction site, reducing labor needs and on-site construction time, which was then assembled in short time.
▪ 3D printing or Additive Manufacturing (AM), is a process that creates 3-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer based on a digital design
