io3D printer constructs 10 buildings in one day from recycled materials.The 3D printers could someday be used to build skyscrapers from the recycled materials of other buildings.Computerworld - A Chinese company has become the first to construct multiple buildings using 3D printers that extrude recycled building materials at breakneck speed.Using four huge 3D printers, Yingchuang New Materials Inc. was able to print the shells of 10 one-room structures in 24 hours and at a cost of only about $5,000 per building. The buildings had to harden at the factory and then be transported and assembled on site.The printers, supplied by WinSun Decoration Design Engineering, are 20 feet tall, 33 feet wide and 132 feet long.
Like their desktop counterparts, the construction-grade WinSun 3D printers use a fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology to deposit materials one layer at a time in a process that's similar to squeezing frosting from a pastry bag.

Using a CAD design as a template, a computer controls a mechanical extruder arm to lay down   concrete, which is treated with special hardeners so that each layer is strong enough to support the next.
The buildings are constructed in parts inside a Yingchuang New Materials factory, one wall at a time. The pieces are subsequently joined together at a construction site.


The Yingchuang factory and research center, a 33,000-sq.-ft. building, was also constructed sing the 3D printing manufacturing technique. It only took one month to construct, according to Ma Yihe, the founder and president of the company.Yingchuang is not the first organization to use 3D printing to create structures, even if it is the first to successfully demonstrate the technique for constructing multiple buildings in a single day.Several years ago, researchers at the University of Southern California also demonstrated 3D printing techniques to construct entire buildings in less than a day.As outrageous as it sounds, such machines can already extrude concrete walls with internal reinforcement fast enough to complete the shell of a 2,000-sq.-ft. house in under 20 hours.

Information Security Interview Questions & Answers

-
The number of Information Security related jobs are growing extensively…. There is a huge requirement for skilled InfoSec professionals across the globe.. the jobs positions are available for freshers, experienced guys and top management (typically CISO .HCL,BPLetc)… This post is my attempt to collect typical InfoSec interview question and answers to help those looking out opportunities in this field… I’ll keep on updating the questions regularly.. You can also share/contribute any questions you might have faced during your InfoSec interviews…. Category I: General Security Concepts / Network Security / OS Security 1) Is there any difference between Information Security and IT Security? If yes, please explain the difference. Ans- Yes. Information Security and IT Security are both different terms often used interchangeably. IT Security focuses on purely technical controls (like implementing antivirus, firewall, hardening systems etc) while Information Security is more wider ter...

MCSE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWER ,VERY USEFULL OUR NEXT JOB INTERVIEW MCSE Questions and Answers: :  1 :: What is the use of IGMP protocol?  Internet Group Management Protocol: - It allows internet hosts to participate in multicasting. The IGMP messages are used to learn which hosts is part of which multicast groups. The mechanism also allow a host to inform its local router, that it wants to receive messages.  2 :: What are Ping and Tracert?  Ping and tracert are the commands used to send information to some remote computers to receive some information. Information is sent and received by packets. Ping I particularly used to check if the system is in network or not. It also gives packet lost information. In windows ping command is written as ping ip_address Tracert is called as trace route. It is used to track or trace the path the packet takes from the computer where the command is given until the destination. In windows ping command is written as trac...

OSI MODEL (Open Systems Interconnection model )

To Day I Explain OSI MODEL,   Open Systems Interconnection model  ( OSI ) is a conceptual model that characterizes and standardizes the internal functions of a communication system by partitioning it into  abstraction  layers. The model is a product of the Open Systems Interconnection project at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), maintained by the identification ISO/IEC 7498-1. The model groups communication functions into seven logical layers. A layer serves the layer above it and is served by the layer below it. For example, a layer that provides error-free communications across a network provides the path needed by applications above it, while it calls the next lower layer to send and receive packets that make up the contents of that path. Two instances at one layer are connected by a horizontal connection on that layer.  The Below Shown Diagram is helpful to understand the OSI seven Layer Model. OSI MODEL EXPLANATION Th...
