3D Printed Homes (Some Even Fold)!
As you may or may not know, there has been an incredible advancement in 3D printing the past couple years. In fact, this revolutionizing way of doing construction is one of the the hottest new technologies in building homes. It’s also getting in the spotlight, not just nationally here in America, but also internationally around the world.
A Few Q & A’s About 3D Printed Homes
What are 3D printed homes? What do they look like? How does the process and homes work? What options are there? How many rooms can they consist of? How much do they cost? Is this a trend to stay…or just a fad that will soon disappear? Let’s take a closer look at these and more, including a company that is a stand out for a few specific reasons.
To start off, we don’t think this is going away any time soon, and we’ll explain why. The benefits of 3D printed homes are many, including that they tend to be more affordable and therefore more accessible than the average home. Because of this and other factors, they also have the potential to help lessen homelessness…which is always a good thing, especially this day and age. They also cost much less to build because the labor is significantly reduced. Another advantage with these homes is that it can typically take only a day to build (of course this depends on the size and other details). The process also involves less people since the homebuyers can use the 3D technology to customize their home’s shape and build in the blueprint phase without it costing too much. Because these homes are not over-engineered, there is also much less waste from constructing them, which is also what makes them generally more eco-friendly. In essence, these 3D printed homes tend to be more energy efficient, sustainable and resilient than conventional wood-built homes. Some of the homes are printed on-site, and some are printed at a facility and then transported.
What Do These Printed Homes Look Like and What Do They Have in Them?
These printed homes can basically be like any home one would typically think of, having a kitchen, bathroom(s), room(s), toilets, sinks, and more! They can be as small as a “tiny home,” and up to 4-5,000 square feet or more. Check out this link (https://cnb.cx/3myDbp5) as well as The B1M video below for some additional insight and visuals.
And how about the Boxabl 3D printed homes that can fold out? These homes cost approximately $50,000 and can literally go up in a day! They are pretty incredible to say the least, and like they say in this article, they’re “…taking a totally different route to affordable, easy-to-build housing…” Find out more here from SingularityHub: Boxabl 3d Printed Homes
Now that the demand for these 3D printed homes is so strong, the companies that are building them (or should we say printing them) are faced with learning how to scale…some are even booked out 2 or more years…so get on the waiting lists while you can if you’re interested.
