MARFA, Texas (Reuters) - It looks like any other 3D printer - except it's the size of a crane and is, layer by layer, building a hotel in the Texan desert.
El Cosmico, an existing hotel and campground on the outskirts of the city of Marfa, is expanding. It is building 43 new hotel units and 18 residential homes over 40 acres (16 hectares) - all with a 3D printer.
