Proving that this kind of technology is available right now, a Chinese construction company Winsun unveiled its largest 3D-printed buildings yet. Proving it is capable of printing more than just one-storey building as it did last year, Winsun set up a totally [3D-printed mansion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-hsu) that spans nearly 12,000 square feet. While this may not be a "mansion" compared to other homes, this is indeed a mansion of 3D-printed architecture. The house is made from [3D-printed concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tor-alva), so that pieces of the building can be pre-fabricated and then assembled quickly and easy once on site. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **3d-printed Architecture:** As a technology that speeds up the construction process and cuts down on waste, 3D-printed architecture has great potential to disrupt traditional building methods. - **Prefab Construction:** Using 3D-printed materials for pre-fabricated construction allows for quick and easy assembly on site, providing disruptive innovation opportunities for the prefab construction industry. - **Customized Mansions:** The ability to 3D-print customized mansions opens new opportunities for the luxury real estate industry to offer unique and personalized homes to clients. ### Who This Affects Most - **Construction:** The construction industry can benefit from incorporating 3D-printed architecture to speed up processes and reduce waste. - **Prefab Housing:** 3D-printed materials offer opportunities for disruptive innovation in the prefab housing industry by providing quick and easy assembly and customization options. - **Luxury Real Estate:** The luxury real estate industry can utilize 3D-printing to offer customized and unique homes to clients looking for one-of-a-kind mansions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Storey 3D-Printed Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qr3d.md) - [3D-Printed Home Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tiny-house-lux.md) - [Fully Recyclable 3D-Printed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biohome3d.md) - [3D-Printed Neighborhood Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolf-ranch.md) - [Compact 3d-Printed Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-house-lux.md) - [3D-Printed Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printed-hotel.md) - [3D-Printed Sturdy Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cobod.md) - [Inaugural 3D-Printed Social Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lnen.md) - [Organically Printed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lib-earth-house.md)
