KamerMaker clains to be world's first portable 3D Printing pavillion. The KamerMaker (RoomBuilder) will be a movable pavilion that can 3D print entire rooms of plastics. Its 3D print technology is based on an enlarged 'Ultimaker' 3D printing machine. This machine can print 3D objects using PLA (bio plastics produced from corn). The KamerMaker can print small interiors, measuring up to 2.0m(width) x 2.0m (length) x 3.5m (height).
Housed inside the framing of a shipping container this is certainly a new approach to printing.
While the concept of printing buildings isn't new, Enrico Dini pioneered the process, what is new is the portability factor.
The KamerMaker itself is being spearheaded by DUS Architects in collaboration with Fablab Protospace, Ultimaker Ltd, Open Coop, and a enthuastic volunteers. This Open Source project is available online for others to contribute to and help shape KamerMaker evolution.

Having a 3D Printer of this scale on-site could really change how the building process is approached. KamerMaker is attempting 'on demand architecture that responds to local needs' and so far it seems that they are off to a good start.
