They were able to complete the construction between removing the last train at night and the arrival of the first train in the morning.
In Japan, a new railroad station was built, parts of which were printed by a 3D printer, at a record time, reports the New York Times.
The Hatsushima station is located in the small city of Arita, Vakaiama Prefecture. The old wooden building of the station was built back in 1948 and served a line, where trains ran from one to three times an hour, serving nearly 530 passengers per day.
The new station’s meeting lasted a little less than six hours – it started immediately after the last train left the twelve, and managed to complete before the first train arrived at six.
It took seven days to print the details and their strengthening concrete. According to representatives of the West Japan Railway Company, the construction of such a station in a traditional way will take more than two months, as it costs twice.
The building still needs to install interior decoration and equipment, in particular ticket machines and readers of transportation cards. The station is planned to be opened for use in July.
Rail management expects the station to be an example of how to effectively maintain service in remote areas using new technologies.
We remind you, earlier reported that the Japanese company created a washing machine for people.
