Thailand unveils world’s first 3D-printed medical center

Thailand has built the world’s first 3D-printed medical center north of Bangkok. The Kingdom’s premier building materials conglomerate used a 3D concrete printer to build the two-story structure faster and with less labor than traditional construction methods.

Building, Design and Construction, an Illinois-based website, hailed the structure as the “world’s first 3D-printed medical center.
