Re: not exactly 3d printing

I wonder what they are using for mortar. You can do only so many layers before the bottom layer of mortar starts oozing out . With traditional masonry do several layers let it cure then do several more layers.

Re: not exactly 3d printing

yep figured some sort of epoxy mortar. Looks like they are also using temporary exoskeletal support to hold things in place until the mortar sets.
