The first two story 3D printed house.

by jonathan s.

The first 2-story 3D printed house is being created in Houston, Texas. Three businesses called PERI-3D, HANNAH, and CIVE are working together to make the first 2-story 3D printed house. Using a 3D printer, instead of using plastic it uses concrete to print the house. Then they put in the doors and windows and stuff.

They want to bring them to people who need them, like people who are homeless. They cannot currently make them for homeless people because it’s way too expensive. Printers will improve and make it easier and cheaper to make 3D printed houses one day. They are stronger than wooden houses, but definitely can not survive an earthquake.
