Ingersoll Machine Tools Collaborates with ORNL to Create WHAM 3D Printer
Earlier this week at IMTS 2016, manufacturer Ingersoll Machine Tools announced that they would be collaborating with the Tennessee-based Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to create an extremely large-scale 3D printing system. The Wide and High Additive Manufacturing (WHAM) system is a mammoth-sized additive manufacturing system that will have a build envelope of 23 x 10 x 46 feet, as well as targeted laydown rates of 1,000 lb/hr. The WHAM system will lead to increased size and speed capabilities over currently existing large-format 3D printing technology, and is projected to be commercially available sometime in the next 18 to 24 months.

Bloody impressive - 1000 lb an hour. so nearly 17 lbs a minute.
wonder what nozzle size/shape they're using.
Printing with abs as well - rather them than me :-)

I'd use a rectangular nozzle with siding adjusters for a single variable sized in-print adjustable nozzle.
