Theo Salet, a structural engineer who is dean of the department of the built environment at the university, sketches a future of versatility for printed concrete.

Not least, Salet sees a world of customization, where homeowners will be able to modify a design in imaginative ways before the button on the printer is pushed.

The team, led by Newel Salet of the VU Medical Centre in Amsterdam, writing in BMJ Open, said other factors could increase the risk of seizures.

Mr Salet told BBC News: "If a person has no predisposition for epilepsy, then factors like strobe lighting will not have any effect. However, most people are unaware of this predisposition they might have: more than a couple of cases explicitly reported this to be the first time they experienced an epileptic fit."

The explosion of interest is a sign of “an ongoing digital transition in the construction industry,” says Theo Salet, a concrete technology professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology, who is directing the Dutch project to print homes for rent.
