According to reports, 3D printing technology in addition to print a lot of novelty, fun things, but also can be applied to the production and construction areas. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States recently promoted a method similar to the principle of building blocks to build buildings, aircraft and spacecraft using 3D printed materials. Not long ago, several MIT scientists posed a challenge to themselves: "Can 3D printing print a plane?" It did not take long for them to realize that they needed to print that huge amount with 3D technology Things are unrealistic, but 3D can print thousands of small, LEGO-like building blocks! A few months later, Kenneth Cheung and Neil Gershenfeld published an article in Science that carefully described how to print a plane using 3D printing . Like LEGO bricks, many small, interlocking blocks can be connected to form a large structure. And the entire structure can be split, the various blocks can be re-sorted, re-integrated into another shape. This method of construction is convenient when the building is damaged or if the architect wants to recycle the building materials. To save manpower, Zhang Yongan and Neal Gershfield are still working on creating a robot that can replace construction workers. The benefits of this method of construction are obvious, especially when building large buildings, such as aircraft or dikes. Building components, which are similar to LEGO bricks, can be quickly and easily printed using 3D technology and can be reused many times. Due to the lightweight and porous nature of these components, the structures built from them are lightweight and easy to transport. Unlike the current methods used to build aircraft or spacecraft, this 3D printed material combination does not require a one-time assembly in an oversized hangar. You just assemble the widgets in a timely manner. Zhang Yongan is about to become an engineer at NASA, so he is likely to bring this technology to NASA, perhaps seeing NASA spacecraft built with this technology.
