As with any desktop 3D printer, the Vulcan printer pipes layer by layer to build an object – except this printer is more than 45 feet (13.7 m) wide, weighs 4.75 tons and prints residential homes.
Buying the materials to build a home is an expensive investment. Technology such as the 3D printer might be a solution.. In Georgetown, 100 3D-printed houses in the Wolf Ranch community are near ...
The world’s largest community of 3D-printed homes is being built in Texas — and the neighborhood just unveiled its first completed house.
Printing homes also provides "design freedom" in that printing with liquid concrete allows for all manner of shapes, and it simplifies the construction process, eliminating the need for drywall, insulation and wood framing. [8] The first home printed in Austin, Texas by the Vulcan I took approximately 48 hours to complete and cost $10,000.
Construction-tech startup Icon is 3D printing a hotel and a collection of homes in West Texas. The project would triple the acreage of the Marfa, Texas, hotel and campground El Cosmico.. The ...
In 2021, Mario Cucinella Architects and 3D printing specialists WASP demonstrated the first 3D printing of a house made out of a clay-mixture, Tecla (see below). [51] [52] In 2022, engineers reported the development of swarms of autonomous 3D-printing drones for additive manufacturing and repair. [53] [54]
3D concrete printing, or simply concrete printing, refers to digital fabrication processes for cementitious materials based on one of several different 3D printing technologies. 3D-printed concrete eliminates the need for formwork, reducing material waste and allowing for greater geometric freedom in complex structures. With recent developments ...
Using robotic 3D printers that can build the concrete walls of a house, a pair of Texas startups say the technology could help alleviate two crises: the housing shortage and climate change.
