Innovative 3D-Printed Housing Community Set to Transform California
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to 3D-Printed Housing
California is on the verge of unveiling the world’s pioneering community of 3D-printed homes. Located in Rancho Mirage, this unique development promises to feature houses constructed through advanced 3D printing techniques, all while ensuring a zero net energy footprint.
The rapid construction capabilities of this technology allow for the creation of a 350 square foot home in less than a day.
Section 1.1: The Collaborating Innovators
The project is a collaboration between the Palari Group, a real estate development firm focused on sustainability, and Mighty Buildings, a startup specializing in construction tech that utilizes 3D printing and robotics. Together, they have acquired five acres in California, where they plan to construct 15 eco-friendly homes, marking the establishment of a fully planned community featuring these innovative structures.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Building Process
Mighty Buildings operates a large facility in Oakland, where the homes are printed using cutting-edge technology. Remarkably, the materials used in this process solidify almost instantly, allowing for roofing and insulation to be applied in a single step.
Section 1.2: Cost and Efficiency
The estimated prices for these innovative homes will range between $595,000 and $950,000. Mighty Buildings claims that approximately 80% of the construction is automated, which results in a significant reduction of waste—up to 10 times less than traditional building methods. Their advanced printers are capable of constructing a 350 square foot house in under 24 hours.
Chapter 2: A Broader Perspective on 3D-Printed Homes
Though Rancho Mirage will be a notable site for 3D-printed homes, it won’t be the first. In 2019, a non-profit in Mexico announced plans for 3D-printed houses aimed at assisting impoverished families. Additionally, Austin, Texas is set to feature similar homes by the end of this year.
