An Unwavering Commitment To Innovation
Indian Architect & Builder|April 2019

Enrico Dini is known for incredible innovations in 3D printing and the first to build a working 3D printer for printing buildings. He became world famous as “The Man Who Prints Houses”. He invented the “D-shape” printer, the world’s first construction scale 3-dimensional printer. The machine prints using natural materials like sand, earth, and perhaps also lunar dust. It is the biggest 3D-printer in the world, handling objects as big as six metres cubed, layered in 5mm sections. The technique, says Dini, brings together the best of printing technology and robotics. He is presently working with Foster & partners, Renzo Piano, Fuksas, Zaha Hadid Architects, UN studio on this new technology.
