Forget weeks to find a builder and months for house construction, a machine developed in the United States can build a 232sq m home layer by layer in a single day.
我們不需要再花幾周的時(shí)間找建筑商或者花數(shù)月的時(shí)間為房屋施工了。美國(guó)研發(fā)的一種機(jī)器可以在一天之內(nèi)一層層地打印出232平方米的房子。

University of Southern California's Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis has designed the giant robot that replaces construction workers with a nozzle on a gantry, this squirts out concrete and can quickly build a home according to a computer pattern.
南加州大學(xué)教授比赫洛克·霍什內(nèi)維斯設(shè)計(jì)了這種能取代建筑工人的大型機(jī)器人。這種機(jī)器人的機(jī)器臂上有噴嘴，從中噴出混凝土，可以根據(jù)電腦圖紙快速建造出一棟房屋。

The nature of the technology means it will also be possible to create curved walls and architecture that is both "exotic and 'beautiful", according to Prof Khoshnevis.
根據(jù)比赫洛克·霍什內(nèi)維斯教授所言，這項(xiàng)技術(shù)的本質(zhì)意味著它也可能創(chuàng)建出既奇異又好看的彎曲的墻壁和建筑。

As a result, it could be ideal to print out customised luxury homes.
因此，理想中它能打印出私人定制的奢華住所。

Prof Khoshnevis claims that Contour Crafting could slash the cost of homeowning, making it possible for millions of displaced people to get on the property ladder.
比赫洛克·霍什內(nèi)維斯教授說(shuō)，“輪廓工藝”可以大幅度削減擁有住房的成本，讓成千上萬(wàn)無(wú)家可歸的人獲得房產(chǎn)成為可能。

It could even be used in disaster relief areas to build emergency and replacement housing.
它甚至也可在賑災(zāi)區(qū)被用來(lái)建造應(yīng)急住所和住房置換。

Furthermore, Prof Khoshnevis believes that the technology could be applied beyond our planet.
而且，比赫洛克·霍什內(nèi)維斯教授相信這項(xiàng)技術(shù)可以被運(yùn)用到我們的星球以外。

"Contour Crafting technology has the potential to build safe, reliable, and affordable lunar and Martian structures, habitats, laboratories, and other facilities before the arrival of human beings,' his website reads.
他的網(wǎng)站上寫(xiě)道，“‘輪廓工藝’技術(shù)或許可以在人類(lèi)登陸其他星球前，先在月亮和火星上建造起安全可靠而且實(shí)惠的建筑、棲息地、實(shí)驗(yàn)室以及其他設(shè)施?！?/div>
