3D Printed Building in Dubai

3D printing is still a young technology, but when you can use it for important tasks like making gummy snack figures of yourself, or building a home, it's no longer in its infancy. And Dubai has reached that second (and arguably more important) milestone, with an entire building 3D printed.

According to CNET, this particular structure ended up being about 2,700 square feet, costing $140,000, and taking 17 days to print.

Not a bad job, at the end--although until they can print a 2,700-square-foot gummy house, we won't be terribly impressed.
