It will replace a significantly bigger wooden structure that has served commuters in this remote community for over 75 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The new station\u2019s components were 3D-printed elsewhere and assembled on site last month, in what the railway\u2019s operators say is a world first. It may look more like a shelter than a station, but building one the traditional way would have taken more than two months and cost twice as much, according to the West Japan Railway Company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As Japan\u2019s population ages and its work force shrinks, the maintenance of railway infrastructure, including outdated station buildings, is a growing issue for railway operators. Rural stations with dwindling numbers of users have posed a particular challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The new station, Hatsushima, is in a quiet seaside town that\u2019s part of Arida, a 25,000-population city in Wakayama Prefecture, which borders two popular tourist destinations, Osaka and Nara prefectures. The station, served by a single line with trains that run one to three times an hour, serves around 530 riders a day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yui Nishino, 19, uses it every day for her commute to university. She said she was surprised when she first heard that the world\u2019s first 3D-printed station building was going to be built here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWatching it, the work is progressing at a speed that would be impossible with normal construction,\u201d she said. \u201cI hope that they can make more buildings with 3D-printing technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Serendix, the construction firm that worked with West Japan Railway the project, said printing the parts and reinforcing them with concrete took seven days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The printing was done at a factory in Kumamoto Prefecture on the southwestern island of Kyushu. The parts left the factory on the morning of March 24 to be transported about 500 miles northeast by road to Hatsushima Station.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNormally, construction takes place over several months while the trains are not running every night,\u201d said Kunihiro Handa, a co-founder of Serendix. Construction work near commercial lines is subject to strict restrictions and is usually carried out overnight so as not to disrupt timetables.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As trucks carrying the 3D-printed parts started pulling in on a Tuesday night in late March, several dozen residents gathered to watch the first-of-its-kind initiative get underway, in a place deeply familiar to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then, after the last train pulled away at 11:57 p.m., workers got busy building the new station.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In less than six hours, the preprinted parts, made of a special mortar, were assembled. They were delivered on separate trucks, and a large crane was used to lift each one down to where workers were piecing them together, just a few feet from the old station.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The new station, which measures just over 100 square feet, was completed before the first train arrived at 5:45 a.m. It is a minimalistic, white building, featuring designs that include a mandarin orange and a scabbardfish, specialties of Arida.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It still needed interior work, as well as equipment like ticket machines and transportation card readers. West Japan Railway said it expected to open the new building for use in July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Railway officials say that they hope the station will show how service can be maintained in remote locations with new technology and fewer workers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe believe that the significance of this project lies in the fact that the total number of people required will be reduced greatly,\u201d said Ryo Kawamoto, president of JR West Innovations, a venture capital unit of the rail operator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The wooden building that the new station will replace was completed in 1948. Since 2018, it has been automated, like many smaller stations in Japan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Toshifumi Norimatsu, 56, who manages the post office a few hundred feet away, had bittersweet feelings about the new building.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI am a little sad about the old station being taken down,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I would be happy if this station could become a pioneer and benefit other stations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
