3D Printed Home: 3D Printing is a cutting edge manufacturing and construction technology in the present era. This technology directly made a physical objects through a digital 3D model. Nowadays, it is  popularizing in the real estate or construction industry. In this article, I am going to share the very first use case of 3D printing for building a house in India.  Image Credit: tvasta Whats is 3D Printing 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a manufacturing process that creates three-dimensional objects by layering material upon material, following a digital 3D model or design.   This process offers several advantages, including the ability to create complex shapes, customize designs easily, reduce waste, and potentially manufacture objects more efficiently than traditional methods.  Various materials, such as plastics, metals, ceramics, and even biological substances, can be used in 3D printing, depending on the specific technology and application.  It is widely u
