A two-storey house has been built in the Chinese capital using 3D printing technology, according to a news website report.
It took developers 45 days to produce all the components to make the villa in Beijing, Hexun. com reported.
The technology is used to prefabricate steel and concrete structures which can then be assembled on site.
