GREAT NEWS!! See article I found. 3D Printed Homes are the home building trend of the future and it's happening! These homes can be mass produced in a short amount of time, for less cost than traditional buildings. Here is Fannie Mae's recent announcement: 3D printed homes are an innovative building technique that brings efficiency and potential cost savings to new home construction. To address questions regarding property eligibility and comparable sales requirements, we are clarifying our policy that a 3D printed home with a traditional design and constructed using conventional building materials is not considered a unique or nontraditional type of housing as described in the Selling Guide. Lenders should follow the standard eligibility and comparable sale selection requirements for site-built housing.

3D-Printed Homes The construction industry is witnessing a significant transformation with the advent of 3D printing technology. This innovative approach is reshaping how homes are designed and built, offering a blend of efficiency, sustainability, and creative freedom previously unimaginable. A prime example of this technology in action is the project "House Zero," located in East Austin. Developed by ICON and designed by Lake|Flato, this 2,000+ sq-ft home epitomizes the convergence of futuristic construction methods and sustainable architecture. House Zero, built using ICON’s advanced 3D-printed wall system, is a testament to the time, waste, and cost efficiency of this technology. Its walls, composed of the proprietary "Lavacrete," insulation, and steel, were printed in less than two weeks. This method replaces traditional multi-step construction processes with a streamlined approach. Beyond its construction marvel, House Zero also stands out for its design. The home incorporates biophilic principles, connecting its inhabitants with nature. The curved walls not only offer structural efficiency but also create a more natural and flowing space inside the home. Moreover, the strategic placement of windows and doorways optimizes natural light, reducing the reliance on artificial sources. This project has not only won multiple awards but has also set a new benchmark in the realm of 3D-printed architecture, showcasing what the future of construction holds. 📹 ICON - 3D Tech (YT) 🌎 Do you like it?

Incredible Innovation: Guatemala's First 3D-Printed Earthquake-Resistant House! Cement company Progreso has achieved a remarkable feat by constructing Guatemala's first 3D-printed house, designed to withstand seismic activity. The project, completed using COBOD's BOD2 printer, blended modern 3D-printing techniques with traditional craftsmanship, featuring a palm thatched roof. What's astounding is that the 3D printing process took just 26 hours, albeit spread over seven days. Human builders added finishing touches, including windows, wiring, and plumbing. The house's structural design prioritizes earthquake resistance, a crucial feature in this seismic-prone region. This groundbreaking project showcases the potential of 3D construction printing, creating organic-shaped walls and offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional building materials. The 3D-printed concrete walls are complemented by a traditional palm leaves roof, offering thermal comfort and earthquake resilience 🏡🌟 #3DPrinting #ConstructionInnovation #EarthquakeResistant #SustainableHousing #3DPrintedHome #EarthquakeResistant #ConstructionInnovation #SustainableLiving #GuatemalaInnovation #COBODPrinter #BuildingTheFuture

Speed and Affordability: The potential to construct a house in 2 days at a price equivalent to a car is genuinely groundbreaking. This could be revolutionary for housing affordability and accessibility, especially for those in dire need or in emergency situations. https://lnkd.in/gzDXND3y #housedesign #3dprinting

Lünen, a former coal-mining town in Germany, will soon be home to Europe's first 3D-printed social housing apartment building. The publicly-funded three-story complex will feature six apartments measuring 61 to 81 m2 (670 to 890 sq. ft.) each. It will take 100 hours to 3D print the building's first and second floors in concrete layers. The third floor will be constructed using a hybrid timber method and encased with facade panels, with the first two levels showing the printed concrete's original shape and texture. Execution of the project is in hands of PERI 3D Construction, which uses printing technology by COBOD International. As a construction method, 3D printing is transitioning from experimental applications to more mainstream uses and a wider range of structures. As Henrik Lund-Nielsen, COBOD's founder, notes: "This project continues the trend that we have seen in the last couple of years, where the technology has made some remarkable leaps forward, moving away from just being used for small houses on one floor to also being used for larger and larger projects with multiple floors."

3D Printing Sustainable Architecture. The majority of the contemporary building materials used have high levels of embodied energy. The use of natural materials and construction waste could reduce the embodied energy of buildings. However, concerns such as structural integrity, workability, and construction precision affect the integration of these materials into contemporary architecture. Technological developments in computational design and additive manufacturing present an alternative perspective to designing and materials used to make architectural elements. Take a look at the article below. https://weare.rs/3txlMT9 #Engineering #Architecture #3DPrinting

The age of colorful buildings has arrived, and architecture is no longer just shades of gray. 🌈 GAUDI has created a rainbow-colored building, a four-story edifice covering approximately 3200 square meters, fully realized through on-site 3D printing—from its foundations to the structural components. This method simplifies the foundation process, eliminating excavation, cleanup, sloping, and backfilling. It drastically reduces labor needs from 200 to just 9 workers, encompassing only essential specialists. #3dprinting #3dprintinghouse #architecture #concrete3dprinting #3dprinted #construction #ConstructionTech #robots #architect #archilovers #newconstruction #contractor #archdaily #architecturedesign #frastructure #buildingdesign #innovation #sculpture #EfficiencyInBuilding #InnovationInConstruction #3DPrintingRevolution #BuildingTheFuture #ConcreteTechnology #ColorInArchitecture

Dive into the wave of change in urban design where fluidity meets functionality. This conceptual structure, imagined through the lens of 3D printing technology, brings a new dimension to the cityscape—a dance of curves and contours against the stark lines of the traditional concrete jungle. Each layer, a ripple in the vast ocean of architectural innovation, represents the versatility and adaptability of 3D printed buildings. As we break free from the rigid forms of the past, we embrace a future where the design of our public spaces can be as dynamic and organic as the communities they serve. The rhythmic patterns and undulating facades of this concept building are not just visually captivating; they are symbolic of the fluid nature of our society, ever-changing, evolving, and flowing into new forms. It's a bold step away from the orthogonal, a leap into a future where form doesn't just follow function—it dances around it, plays with it, and ultimately, redefines it. In this image, we don’t just see a building; we see a philosophy materialized. It's a manifesto of motion, a testament to the creative freedom granted by the advances in large-scale 3D printing. It invites us to reimagine our built environment as a canvas for innovation, where buildings can move with the rhythm of life itself. Let’s discuss how we can build environments that are not just spaces to inhabit, but experiences to behold. Will the architecture of tomorrow move us in ways more profound than ever before? #additivemanufacturing #architecturephotography #innovation #digitalart #future
