The world's first 3D printing school was established in Malawi, Africa. How long did it take?

Not long ago, French technology company 14Trees built the first school for a village in Mavila, Africa, in only 15 hours by using 3D technology. It is spacious and durable, and it was completed almost overnight. This school can be used by dozens of students. In the past, the nearest schools in the village were all 5 kilometers away, which solved a major problem in local education.

The newly completed school can accommodate dozens of students. Chikandira, a senior adviser to Malawi's Ministry of Education, praised the new school as spacious and durable, and many students had never seen it. Its completion will surely attract many dropouts back to school.

It takes 70 years to build a school building by traditional methods.

It is understood that the current number of schools in Malawi is difficult to meet the needs of school-age children. UNICEF estimates that Malawi needs 36,000 additional classrooms in primary schools alone.

If traditional methods are adopted, it will take 70 years to complete the construction of these school buildings. 3D printing technology greatly shortens the time and the construction cost of consumables. If it can be effectively promoted, the process is expected to be shortened to 10 year.
