Andrey Rudenko has spent the last couple of years building a massive concrete castle design in his backyard exclusively using 3D-printing.
This unbelievably massive castle is finally complete after days of compiling various 3D-printed blocks on top of one another to create the walls of this stunning manor. While the pieces were constructed using a printer, the detail in this castle is quite remarkable. The castle comes with various walls and column detailing that is symmetrical and minimalist. Each layer of the castle is incredibly thin meaning it took Rudenko quite some time to build up substantially high walls. Rudenko also had to custom engineer a concrete formula that wouldn't clog the printing needle head but still be a substantial and durable building material. The final result is breathtaking and a feat for 3D-printing.
