Zhuoda Group has unveiled just how viable modular 3D printed homes are with a trial in which it erected a full build in a mere three hours.

Unlike most 3D printing companies in the property sector, the Chinese firm has avoided constructing its homes with layered concrete, instead opting for a “secret” compound.

It asserts that the material can withstand 9.0 magnitude earthquakes and unruly weather, according to 3DPrint.com.
