the large scale structures were produced, piece-by-piece, using an offsite machine measuring 7m tall, 10m wide and 40m long, and then put together at the suzhou industrial park. a specially formulated ink which is made up of concrete, fiberglass, sand and a hardening agent, is used as it is flexible, self-insulating and is resistant to strong earthquakes. according to the association, this efficient construction method saves 60% of the materials, 70% of the time and 80% of the labor needed when compared to building a typical home, and are aiming to establish many affordable homes across china, in the future.
