• Resumen

  • 3D technology marks a major breakthrough in architecture; however, it requires a new approach. 3D printing, regardless of the field in which it is used, inevitably involves reinventing one or other process. For example, in the machining of industrial components, there are certain limitations whereby certain features of the design, such as inaccessible cavities, for example, are simply unable to be replicated. 3D printing does away with these limitations, opening up a new paradigm where most of these processes are now possible. This paper analyzes how 3D printing has the potential to become a new technological printing tool geared towards architecture.
