💨 Abstract

Starbucks has opened its first 3D printed store in the U.S., located in Brownsville, Texas. The store, which is drive-thru only, was built using a computer-controlled robotic arm that poured concrete layer by layer. Construction experts see this as an example of the industry exploring ways to use 3D printing technology, despite its current higher costs compared to traditional wood framing.
