Printed in smaller pieces then assembled. Still cool, but not what the headline implies. Ikon has printed structures taller than the pieces of this building.
Ikon is doing some pretty cool things and perhaps there's a different nomenclature for 3D printing something as one piece (without any seams or assembly) but is something any less 3D-printed because it was printed in multiple pieces versus a single piece?
I think yes it is less 3d-printed if it is assembled out of multiple pieces.
How small would the pieces have to be before you say it's not a 3d-printed building? Is a building made out of 3d-printed bricks a 3d-printed building or are the bricks 3d-printed but the building not?
The limit as piece size tends to zero is that 3d-printed-ness tends to 0.
