93 sqm House "Printed" in Just 24 Days: Resistant to Fires and Pests
A startup from California recently marked a significant step in house construction by completing the first fully 3D-printed house, opening the door to faster and cheaper construction.
TL;DR
- A startup from California has built the first fully 3D-printed house.
- The 93 sqm house was constructed in 24 days using industrial 3D printers and concrete.
- This method is faster and potentially cheaper than traditional construction methods.
- The 3D-printed houses are designed to be resistant to fire, mold, and pests.
- The technology is from SQ4D, utilizing their robotic 'ARCS' printer.
- The project is part of a small experimental community near Sacramento.
- The first house is on the market for $375,000, with hopes to reduce future build times to 10 days.
