3D Print Will Help With Hyperloop Construction

in #technology8 years ago

This post is update to my previous one about hyperloop.
The Chinese company, which focuses on the construction of buildings using 3D printing technology, has signed an agreement with Hyperloop Transportation Technologies. HTT will be able to build Hyperloop using 3D printing technology.

HTT had announced that his first test track in America begins to build in 2016 and so far it has not happened yet. Although it is still some time before the end of the year, construction Hyperloop is likely to be delayed and fully functional tracks will be much more later.

The company Hyperloop Transportation Technologies is formed by a very diverse team, and now joined them a Chinese scientists from the company Winsun. This company focuses on building large structures using 3D printing technology, the material is added in layers and can be finished without the need for many parts. They will assemble the research team, and will develop technology suitable for manufacturing Hyperloop 3D printing.

With 3D print HTT will produce mainly pipelines, stations and platforms for Hyperloop. This technology should provide a more efficient way to build Hyperloop because it eliminated the necessity to produce individual parts in a factory somewhere far away as it normally does.

This really is amazing who would of thought! Thanks for the upvote I have done the same.
