While 3D printers, which we have recently started to see in almost every aspect of our lives, are gradually being used in much larger projects, a company in the US state of Texas has started working on the world's first hotel built with a 3D printer.The construction, which is planned to be completed in 2026, is very important as it reveals the state-of-the-art of the 3D printing industry. Although there are small houses built with 3D printers, work in this field continues for larger-scale projects. However, the construction of a hotel with a 3D printer has not been seen before.El Cosmico, a hotel and campground in the US state of Texas, will build 43 new hotel units and 18 residences on a 40-acre land with a 3D printer. Explaining the advantages of 3D printer technology, el cosmico boss Liz Lambert said that building a hotel with a 3D printer is easy and inexpensive, that such a level of creativity has not been achieved before, and that 3D printer technology will be a crazy way for the construction industry.The company that undertook the construction of the hotel, Texas-based 3D printer company ICON, uses a much larger version of the 3D printers we have in our homes today. The raw material is not plastic, but a special cement called Lavacrete. This will improve the strength of the building. According to scientists, 3D printers will replace skilled workers in the construction industry.
