Three D Printed Houses – Housing the Homeless? Our Country Estates of the Future?

From Mashable’s website:

“The main components of the house, including the walls, partitions and building envelope were printed solely with a concrete mixture….

Fixtures like windows and furnishings were later added on, and a shiny coat of paint added to the exterior of the house.

The total construction cost of the house? $10,134. The company has claimed that the house can last up to 175 years.

“We want to change public views that construction can’t be fast, eco-friendly, efficient and reliable at the same time,” says founder Nikita Chen-yun-tai…

“Our goal is to become the biggest international construction company to solve problems of accommodation around the globe.”

Apis Cor has claimed to be the first company to have developed a 3D printer than can print whole buildings on-site.
Located in Russia, this 400-square-foot home (37 square meters) was built in just a day, at a cost of just over $10,000.
