“World’s first” 3D-printed railway station built in Japan in six hours



Japanese company Serendix has completed what it claims is the world’s first 3D-printed railway station in Arida, Japan, which was constructed in the hours between the last and first train services.

Collaborating with JR West Japan Group and Japanese architecture studio Neuob, Serendix created a 3D-printed shelter with an arched roof for Hatsushima Station, which replaced a wooden structure built in 1948.

Serendix said its design is the “world’s first 3D-printed station building”. It was constructed from four elements that were 3D printed in a factory and assembled at Hatsushima Station in under six hours.
