Examples of 3D printed homes,
As renters move into 3D printed homes in the early years of their commercial debut,
3D printing has a 23% compound annual growth rate over the next decade.
These dwellings — which often share a graceful gray appearance with a ribbed texture — are of interest to NASA,
Which funded a $57 million project to develop 3D-printed infrastructure technology alongside the Moon .
Highly customizable and form-free, 3D printing for construction is
A new age technology is about to disrupt the market and has the potential to mass produce housing.
Examples of 3D printed homes
BIOHOME3D
The Center for Advanced Structures and Composites at the University of Maine 3D-prints residential structures exclusively from bio-based resins
and wood fiber to combat labor shortages and expand access to affordable housing.
The pilot project, known as BioHome3D, begins.
The 600-square-foot prototype features a fully 3D-printed floor and ceiling.
In general, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom building is 100% recyclable.
It is made entirely of biodegradable materials, including wood flour.
As a prototype, BioHome3D is equipped with sensors for monitoring, measuring thermal, environmental and structural elements,
To collect resilience-based data to better inform future designs

East 17th Street Residences
These four properties in Austin, Texas by 3D printing company ICON feature open floor plans, minimalist architectural aesthetics, and private courtyards.
These residences vary in size, containing two to four bedrooms and ranging in size from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet.
Each ground floor was built using a special cement material, called “Lavacrete”.
To last longer than traditional building materials, according to the company’s website.
The second story incorporates old school styles and is built of black metal cladding and richly colored wood.
They share a color palette of green, white and clay and have all been sold out.
House 1.0
With the help of COBOD, a 3D printing manufacturer,
Danish startup group 3DCP built Europe’s first 3D-printed tiny house last year in just five weeks .
However, the structure itself was printed in just 22 hours. This 398 square foot structure is located in Hostelbro, Denmark.
It consists of three sections that merge into an open, triangle-shaped core.
Inspired by the no-frills side of student living,
The space is economically designed and has all the necessary amenities – bathroom, open plan kitchen, living room and loft-style bedroom on a raised level.
said Sebastian Aristotelis, the architect at Saga Space Architects who designed House 1.0,
The project was built at the lowest possible cost.
With developers opting for inexpensive materials, such as concrete, and building the project using a low or no waste approach.
House zero
ICON has collaborated with architecture firm Lake | Flato to build a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath residence outside of downtown Austin, Texas.
Its curved walls and rounded corners are insulated with Lavacrete and reinforced with steel, ICON’s website is associated with a one-bedroom, one-bathroom attached dwelling unit,
The website for the 2,350-square-foot space — which was printed in less than two weeks — is designed as a “mid-century modern farmhouse aesthetic.”
Due to its net-zero energy design, Time Magazine named House Zero to its list of Best Inventions of 2022.
In the months that followed, ICON began work on a 100-home project,
It is expected to be the largest 3D printed residential community in the United States.
