And a third of that cost is due to doors and windows. The whole building cost just over $10,000, or $223/m². SUHD TV, curved similarly to the home, to show how you can maximize a confined space.Īs amazing as the interior is, squeezing the most out of every geometric inch, the actual economics are what should have the world celebrating.
PRINT AT PRINTME INSTALL
Most of the construction was automated, with workers coming in to install insulation and ceilings, and finish the exterior. The Cold War didn’t even make it that long. Unlike the plastic 3D-printed doodads you picked up at your last trade show, this house was built to last, with a lifespan of more than 50 years. A geopolymer is being developed to facilitate year-round printing. The company says the equipment works in -31☏, but the concrete mix isn’t feasible under 41☏. Under the warmer confines of a tent at an aerated concrete facility, the 3D printer successfully fabricated a 400-ft² house in 24 hours. The unforgiving Muscovite winters have beaten back both Napoleon and Hitler's war machines, but the freezing temperatures could not impede this current technological progress. The Apis Cor 3D-printing technology built a 400-ft² home in 24 hours. The extrusion head moves like a crane, rotating 360 deg while it dispenses the mix in max area of 132 m². Instead of PLA, the printer here lays down concrete. This is the concept San Francisco-based startup Apis Cor sought to validate recently in the frigid outskirts of Moscow with its innovative mobile construction 3D printer and automatic mix and supply unit. But what if someday they made every home? No, 3D printers won't be in every home for quite some time, if ever. That's not a knock on the technology it's more anecdotal evidence of our collective foolishness when it comes to shiny new objects. Reality did not meet the wild expectations of hype-mongers who promised a 3D printer in every home to manifest replacement parts for the washer or a new action figure for your kid. A lot of investors got hit hard when the 3D printing companies they bought into didn't produce results as rapidly as they did prototypes.
