The new printer, four times the size of its predecessor, aims to revolutionize sustainable construction and housing affordability.

The University of Maine's Advanced Structures & Composite Center revealed the 'Factory of the Future 1.0', now the largest 3D printer globally.
FoF 1.0 can produce structures up to 96 feet long, 32 feet wide, and 18 feet high, using eco-friendly thermoplastic polymers.
The printer is designed to work alongside its predecessor, MasterPrint, enhancing large-scale construction projects.
FoF 1.0 could significantly impact housing in Maine, aiming to help build 80,000 new homes by 2030.
The project receives support from various sectors, including the Department of Defense, indicating its strategic importance.
