3D Printed Homes. Freedom of Design and Affordability
For over 10 years, 3D printing has been seen as a potential manufacturing revolution with certain flaws. Construction seems to be making it happen for the end-users for the first time.

The completion of a regular home takes up to 3 years, which also corresponds to high labor cost. Just like internal combustion engines having unchanged domination over vehicle manufacturing, conventional construction practice has been the same for over a century.
Finally, 3D printed home technology is mature enough to bring advanced and precise design, extremely more affordable costs while saving incredible time and labor costs.
Technology: Additive Manufacturing
The main principle is the same for all 3D printing practices.
- You either design or scan the final product in 3D modeling software.
- Then, you connect your design file to the 3D printer.
- You set up and load your 3D manufacturing material into the 3D Printer.
- The 3D printer manufactures the part, object or in our case, home, adding one layer on top of the other, precisely.
