First complete 3D-printed home, designed by a Texan who grew up on the Gulf, can withstand hurricanes and minimize waste
to test the feasibility of living on Mars. But the home unveiled in Austin is the first structure explicitly designed to take full advantage of robotic construction.
“The high-level thinking about the house was not just to showcase printed concrete, but how to show that it can help you produce the most appealing, friendly house you can imagine, and a house that works for long term living,” he said. The printer lays down two sets of walls, one exterior and one interior with insulation in between, to meet building standards, but the technique makes the walls feel more substantial. While the printing pattern is apparent in most interiors, bathrooms and other areas are plastered or tiled the same as a traditional home.
