Instead Of The Usual 4 Weeks It Takes To Build A House Like This,

the one below was completed in just 12 hours!


photograph Habitat for Humanity and Alquist3Dit is a 3D-printed house in the USA. April Stringfield, Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg partnered with Alquist 3D for the project. “The history that we’re making today is that this is the first-ever owner-occupied 3D printed home in the world," said Zachary Mannheimer, founder and CEO of Alquist 3D to WTKR, according to Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, the use of concrete instead of lumber to 3D print the walls saved an estimated 15% per square foot in building cost. Moreover, the house also comes with a personal 3D printer so the new homeowner can print anything she'd need, "everything from electrical outlet to trim to cabinet knobs," said Green to CNN, what an amazing way to build a home, and so quick, I have to be honest, I still do not see how a printer can make a full sized house, but there it is it can be done!
