In Source A, Williams uses the recently completed 3D printed office in Dubai to explain how 3D printing technology has created a platform for revolutionizing architecture that allows designers to make click-and-print complex buildings, with a high record of cost-effectiveness and lesser period of construction than traditional methods allow. In Source B, Engineers Australia explains the ongoing material and expertise requirement, advantages, and challenges that architects will need to perfect to execute successful 3D printing in the building construction industry. Engineers Australia report shows the future demands that are already predictable as far as 3D printing of buildings is concerned.
