黄蜂可能刚刚向世界展示了其巨大的房屋3D打印机，而Branch Technology则印刷了美国最高的雕塑，但是，在2015年北京设计周，巨大的结构被揭幕，名称为史诗般的大小。目前在北京的Parkview Green展示的Vulcan Pavilion长26.5英尺，高9.5英尺，带领吉尼斯世界纪录书将其标记为世界上最大的3D印刷结构。
Made by Laboratory for Creative Design (LCD) using 20 large-format 3D printers, the pavilion is composed of 1,023 individual parts, which were them assembled on-site. The VULCAN, which takes its name from the Latin word for volcano and the Roman God of Fire, is meant to resemble the geological structure for which it’s named. While its 120-degree arch may look like a volcanic explosion, the architects behind, Yu Lei and Xu Feng, designed the individual components with their previous work on the simulation of silk and cocoon production. For that reason, you can see a delicate webbing in many of the pieces that make up the structure.
Yu Lei解释了，“VULCAN represents a new reality – that modern architects are able to achieve their ideal design quality from concept to construction using digital design and fabrication methodologies. This development will increasingly blur the boundaries between technology and art.”
它可能是最大的，但Vulcan只是众多开始点缀景观的结构之一，其中包括许多位于旧金山的新兴对象创建的亭子。这些组装建筑的数量越来越多，表明3D打印实际上可能开始塑造明天的建筑结构。
