3D打印術 一天內造出232平米樓房
Forget weeks to find a builder and months for house construction, a machine developed in the United States can build a 232sq m home layer by layer in a single day.
我們不需要再花幾周的時間找建築商或者花數月的時間爲房屋施工了。美國研發的一種機器可以在一天之內一層層地打印出232平方米的房子。University of Southern California's Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis has designed the giant robot that replaces construction workers with a nozzle on a gantry, this squirts out concrete and can quickly build a home according to a computer pattern.
南加州大學教授比赫洛克·霍什內維斯設計了這種能取代建築工人的大型機器人。這種機器人的機器臂上有噴嘴，從中噴出混凝土，可以根據電腦圖紙快速建造出一棟房屋。The nature of the technology means it will also be possible to create curved walls and architecture that is both "exotic and 'beautiful", according to Prof Khoshnevis.
根據比赫洛克·霍什內維斯教授所言，這項技術的本質意味着它也可能創建出既奇異又好看的彎曲的牆壁和建築。
As a result, it could be ideal to print out customised luxury homes.
因此，理想中它能打印出私人定製的奢華住所。Prof Khoshnevis claims that Contour Crafting could slash the cost of homeowning, making it possible for millions of displaced people to get on the property ladder.
比赫洛克·霍什內維斯教授說，“輪廓工藝”可以大幅度削減擁有住房的成本，讓成千上萬無家可歸的人獲得房產成爲可能。It could even be used in disaster relief areas to build emergency and replacement housing.
它甚至也可在賑災區被用來建造應急住所和住房置換。Furthermore, Prof Khoshnevis believes that the technology could be applied beyond our planet.
而且，比赫洛克·霍什內維斯教授相信這項技術可以被運用到我們的星球以外。"Contour Crafting technology has the potential to build safe, reliable, and affordable lunar and Martian structures, habitats, laboratories, and other facilities before the arrival of human beings,' his website reads.
他的網站上寫道，“‘輪廓工藝’技術或許可以在人類登陸其他星球前，先在月亮和火星上建造起安全可靠而且實惠的建築、棲息地、實驗室以及其他設施。”
