Saltygloo: World's first structure 3D printed out of salt (Video)

Saltygloo: World's first structure 3D printed out of salt (Video) | Sustainability Science | Scoop.it
Using an additive, powder-based 3D printing process, experiments with abundant and renewable salt have created this translucent and lightweight structure.
PIRatE Lab's insight:

Hot damn!  Another new 3D printing material to add to our growing list of non-petroleum-based compounds.  Although this one won't last long out in the elements.  Can anyone say popcorn/potato chip bags made of salt?
