Big Delta is the largest 3D printer in the world with a height of 12 meters. It will create clay houses.
3D printers are growing every week, but it's just mind blowing.
World's Advanced Saving Project
Earlier this week, 3D printing specialists WASP (World's Advanced Saving Project) announced that they would propose a 3D printer 12 meters high. Once it is built, the Big Dela will be the largest 3D printer on the planet.
3D printer of this size can build many things. But these designers have said it is specially designed to provide cheap houses. The concept is to use local materials such as earth or clay and build the house with an energy below 100 watts.
With a metal frame of 6 meters and a print stream that also functions as a mixer, the project WASP is a real mammoth in 3D printing. Considering these characteristics, Big Delta is perfectly suited to quickly build houses in areas affected by natural disasters.
providing a housing solution
But in addition to providing a housing solution in a crisis, WASP said Big Delta could also be used to provide cheap houses in densely populated areas. The United Nations estimates that the world needs 100,000 new houses per day for the next 15 years to cope with rapid population growth and the concentration of people in large cities. But WASP goes further by saying that in 2030, 4 billion people will need housing while their annual income is 3,000 dollars. And this Big Dela 3D printer can help in this housing crisis.
WASP is planning to unveil its revolutionary 3D printer during this weekend to prove its performance. It is not known the price of a house and maintenance of this printer, but this type of project is always interesting. There is a trend of increasingly strong to use 3D printing to create whole houses. Chinese had also proposed a solution that allowed to print a 3D house in 24 hours.
Sales of global brand Mercedes-Benz grew 18 percent in August to 139.802 cars, driven by demand in China, where the volume of the car has increased by 53 percent to 32.763 vehicles.

After unveiling a helicopter version of its Pro Line Fusion avionics suite at Heli Expo in Orlando (Florida) in March, Rockwell Collins is heading for China and specifically the China Helicopter Exposition lounge whose third edition is about to opened in Tianjin on 9 September.
The US supplier confirms its will to find new platforms in the rotorcraft industry for this avionics, which was chosen so far to equip mainly business aircraft.
Main value :
Aluminum was worth 1,622.50 dollars per tonne, against 1569.50 dollars.
Lead was worth 1.685 dollars per ton, against 1687.50 dollars.
Tin was worth 15,105 dollars per tonne, against 14,125 dollars.
Nickel was worth 9825 dollars per ton, against 9955 dollars.
Zinc was worth 1793 dollars per ton, against 1804 dollars.
Rockwell Collins
Rockwell Collins will present the Chinese living a demonstrator allowing vistors to "steal" on a helicopter equipped with the new avionics suite.
Pro Line Fusion includes graphical interfaces, intuitive icons and reconfigurable multi-function windows. It allows to reduce pilot workload to keep them focused on the task regardless of the flight conditions.
Note also that certification this summer by the FAA of the Pro Line Fusion biturboprop on the Beechcraft King Air 250 mark, Rockwell Collins, the first use of a touch screen at the PFD (primary flight display) of a commercial aircraft.
Prices of base metals traded on the London Metal Exchange (LME) have offered some respite, taking advantage of the closure of Chinese places to resume after plummeting last week.
First ballasted by disappointing economic indicators from China earlier this week, reviving concerns about the slowdown in the global economy and second largest base metal consumer in the world, the prices of industrial metals are then recovered slightly .
Investors were expecting a quiet week in the absence of Chinese operators, last week after trying for their nerves when the price of copper and aluminum had plunged to new lows in six years.
Chinese markets
Chinese markets were indeed closed Thursday and Friday because of the commemorations of the 70th anniversary of the Japanese surrender.
Yet "the basic metals market was more active than expected considering the absence of Chinese markets," noted analysts at Standard ICBC and the price of copper, nickel and aluminum in particular took the opportunity to recover.
"It will be interesting to see how the markets react to China (the increase) and if the momentum can be maintained", they tempered, however.
The recovery remains fragile copper
Copper prices reached their highest level since Thursday August 11, 5314 in dollars per tonne. But the foundations for a sustainable recovery of the red metal have yet to strengthen.
"A rise in copper inventories suggests that physical demand for this metal is currently quite low," said Caroline Bain, an analyst at Capital Economics.
At the end of August, copper stocks stored in the warehouses of LME soared to their highest level in a year and a half, to 371,000 tons.

Slowdown of China
Moreover, the slowdown in the real estate sector continues to weigh on copper, according to several analysts, although they expect that the measures taken by the Chinese government to stimulate the economy are beginning to have the effect on the demand for this metal.
Finally, with only 32,000 tons of production "lost" in August, the copper production on disturbances are actually rarer last month compared to July where supply in Zambia, Chile was particularly slow, according to Barclays.
Aluminium in China
Aluminum remains ballasted by a supply glut
The price of aluminum rose Thursday to their highest level since the end of July, to 1,641 dollars per tonne while operators cautiously returning to the market.
These days trade volumes have increased and exceeded the average of the past year, while prices stabilized and gained ground as Leon Westgate, an analyst at Standard ICBC.
But the market remains oversupplied and this should continue to weigh down short-term courses while global demand has increased.
"Before it becomes clear that producers will decrease their production, a significant rise in price of gold seems unlikely," concluded Ms. Bain.
In turn, the price of lead reached 1.744 dollars per ton Wednesday, its highest level in almost two weeks. The price of tin and zinc are mounted at a maximum since mid-August, respectively 15,365 dollars per tonne and dollars per tonne 1842.
On the LME, copper tonne for delivery in three months traded at 5.161 dollars Friday at 12:20 GMT, against 5086.50 dollars the previous Friday at 11:15 GMT.

Chinese manufacturer TCL TV (HKEx: 1070; Shenzhen: 000100) made all the right moves today, after its disastrous purchase of the European company and the North American television Thomson few years ago. In the latest smart move for the company, in my opinion, the strongest of the major TV brands in China, TCL signed Samsung (Seoul: 005930) as a partner in its LCD plant relatively state-of-the-art Shenzhen, with Samsung a 15 percent stake in one of the other factory partners.
As part of the package, Samsung — already the world’s top LCD maker — will also buy 2.55 million LCDs from the venture annually, or 15 percent of its output. This deal is great for TCL, not only bringing in a major new customer but also making sure the plant gets the cutting-edge technology it needs to keep up with other global leaders like LG Display (Seoul: 034220) and Chimei Innolux (Taipei: 3481). TCL already enjoys a solid reputation at home, and with this new partnership could finally start to make some serious inroads toward developing a name as a quality global brand, much the way that Samsung has done over the last 20 years.Bottom line: TCL’s LCD tie-up with Samsung will give it a major boost towards becoming China’s first global quality TV brand.
Ctrip is likely to make a counter-bid for eLong following a surprise offer from Tencent, sparking a potential bidding war that should ultimately see Ctrip emerge as the victor.
I also have to suspect that this particular bid came without the knowledge of Ctrip, which itself owns 37 percent of eLong. Ctrip got its stake after joining a group that bought out a controlling 62 percent of eLong previously held by US travel giant Expedia (Nasdaq: EXPE) earlier this year.
Tencent has owned its stake in eLong since 2011. Ctrip’s recent moves have all pointed to its own buyout offer for eLong, leading me to believe that we could quickly see a bidding war break out for the company.I’ve been predicting for the last few months that leading online travel site Ctrip (Nasdaq: CTRP) would make a buyout bid for former rival eLong (Nasdaq: LONG), so I was quite surprised to read that such a bid has come instead from Internet giant Tencent (HKEx: 700). This particular move is all the stranger because Tencent hasn’t shown much interest in the travel sector before now, though it previously invested in eLong and now owns about 15 percent of the company.
More broadly speaking, this latest buyout offer is part of a bigger wave of similar deals that have seen dozens of US-listed Chinese companies launch privatization bids this year. Most of those companies have failed to attract interest from US investors, and their shares have languished as a result. Many feel they could get better valuations in China, and are trying to de-list from the US and eventually re-list at home. The case with eLong is similar, since the stock never did very well and has lost nearly half of its value since the Ctrip-led buyout of Expedia’s stake back in May. According to eLong, Tencent has now offered to buy all of its shares for $18 each, representing a 27 premium over their last closing price. (company announcement; Chinese article) But that price still represents a discount from the peak of more than $22 that eLong reached back in May when the earlier Expedia buyout was announced.
Have you ever heard the term “Chinese WhatsApp”? If you have never heard it, then you need to know that the term is a term for WeChat, a famous chat application from China. WhatsApp spread more widely but WeChat began to follow, and for the moment, the majority of WeChat users are coming from China. The uniqueness of this application lies in the fact that WeChat is not just a normal chat application, but also a social network and a social media. WeChat has facilities capable of being used to search for new acquaintances; something that has not been provided by WhatsApp.

Wechat in China!
In this article, I will pay attention to why WeChat has not yet to achieve what has been achieved by WhatsApp. In China, its origin country, the application is very dominating for chatting purposes but somehow not very successful abroad. To find out why, we must know the background of chat application development in the world, especially in China. I live in China and of course I know chat application development here. The development is certainly fueled by the growth of smartphone users growing to almost 80%.I also lived in the United States and I have tried various chat applications such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn, while I have been a customer of Renren, Weibo, Momo, and so forth. I did these experiences before I know WeChat. One thing I realized is that WeChat is designed specifically for Chinese consumers. This application determines that its biggest target is Chinese people so that it provides various facilities tailored to the characteristics of Chinese citizens.
