# Pavilion-Printing Pavilions A Hi-Tech Room Printer Can Create Small Buildings Quite Resourcefully By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-01-26 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/room-printer References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/274798/kamermaker-mobile-3d-printer-inspires-potential-for-emergency-relief-architecture/) & [dusarchitects](http://www.dusarchitects.com/index.php) The applications of this amazing room printer are quite exciting. Industrially and commercially speaking, this cutting-edge machine presents the possibility of erecting complete enclosures efficiently, either for sale or for socially beneficial programs. In the case of an emergency scenario, a mobile machine like this KamerMaker 3D printer could be sent to the site to manufacture temporary homes and shelters instantly. Built itself like a compact, upright container, this structure assembles structures inside of it using a robotic arm and nozzle. What's so unique and wonderful about DUS Architects' room printer is that it's easily shippable and open-source, facilitating the freedom to assemble specific shapes, and to do so out of a range of different materials, including concrete and even found and recycled plastic. The KamerMaker can save lives and do its part for the planet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hi-tech Room Printing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more advanced room printers that can efficiently create complete enclosures for various purposes. - **Mobile 3D Printing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create portable 3D printers that can be deployed in emergency scenarios to quickly manufacture temporary homes and shelters. - **Open-source Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Promote the use of open-source technology in construction to facilitate the freedom to assemble structures using different materials. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate room printer technology into the construction industry to streamline the process of building complete enclosures. - **Emergency Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with emergency services to develop mobile 3D printers that can be used to provide immediate temporary housing in emergency situations. - **Sustainable Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of found and recycled materials as printing materials in the construction industry to promote sustainability and reduce waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact 3d-Printed Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-house-lux.md) - [Fully Recyclable 3D-Printed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biohome3d.md) - [3D-Printed Home Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tiny-house-lux.md) - [3D-Printed Ceramic Home Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-house.md) - [Automated Worksite Printer Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hp-siteprint.md) - [3D-Printed Tiled Ceramic Archways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delft-blue.md) - [3D-Printed Public Pavilion Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hassell.md) - [Organically Printed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lib-earth-house.md) - [3D-Printed Sturdy Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cobod.md)
