Housing Solutions of the Future: 3D Printed Houses!
Technology is a human marvel which has continuously been evolving alongside civilization. We are reaching a point where jaw-dropping advances are happening at a weekly rate. As these once-thought miracles keep emerging from the collective imagination of our species, our potential as a collective sky-rockets.
This becomes a critical necessity as we run into more and more problems. As the population balloons in number and the economy remains unfavorable, housing becomes a severe issue for many.
A solution may be at hand, as the Russian company, Apis Core, has developed a technique for printing buildings. Yes, you heard that right: they have a printer which prints houses.
3D Printing buildings and building materials have been a recent practice for construction. However, what makes Apis Core’s Mobile 3D Printer so revolutionary is its size. The construction crane can rotate around its axis, allowing it to print both the inside and outside of a building. Installation and launch of the printer takes only an hour.
It takes the mobile printer approximately 24 hours to print a 100 square meter house. The total cost to make it is just over $10,000. This is a 40% reduction in cost compared to traditional construction methods for an identical building.
This gives rise to a new form of societal infrastructure. Small towns can be built quickly and cheaply for significant events, and can provide alternate solutions to the housing crisis.
Looking beyond what currently exists, future advances in this technology can lead to massive relief villages for displaced communities. With a ready solution at hand, disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, and war become more manageable and more people are able to be helped in the aftermath.
Who knows what sorts of dwellings humans will one day live in? As we set our eyes for the stars, we can be guaranteed that whatever we come up with will be exciting and incredible.
I discovered this company last spring. I lined up an investor who wanted to print 50 homes on the edge of downtown Houston with solar and high speed internet. Only had their email address. 10 different emails went unanswered when we wanted to either hire them or buy 2 printers. No response. Tech may work but company does not appear to be reputable or solvent or both.
i have not seen yet nowhere the 3d printed house
Really good job man carry on
Wow! This would be really nice. The construction of housing project after calamities won’t take years anymore. This would be a very helpful technology.
Not only cheaper, but easier to create quite complex structutres. The downside i start seeing here is the amount of possible people that could become jobless.
That is pretty dang cool. :)
