NTU Singapore develops technology that can 3D-print a bathroom unit within a day

The technology can 3D print an unfurnished bathroom in less than a day

Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore have developed the capability to 3D print an unfurnished bathroom in less than a day.

After printing, the bathroom is furnished with toilet fittings to become a pre-fabricated unit. Its interior includes a sink, mirror, shower, toilet bowl, ceramic tiled walls and flooring, complete with concealed drains and piping.

This could potentially help firms build prefabricated bathroom units (PBU) more quickly and lighter than current PBUs.
