3D home printing emerged as a potential solution to build homes faster and at a lower cost without compromising quality, addressing the global housing crisis.

3D printing allows us to create homes using cement, which is a common and durable material, enabling us to build structures that are both strong and cost-effective. With 3D home printing, we believe we can reduce the cost of building a home from $6,500 to about $3,000 over time.

We are committed to proving the effectiveness of our 3D printing technology before scaling it to other regions.

We partnered with ICON, a robotic construction startup, to develop a 3D home printing machine, which is currently the largest in the country.

I'm excited about the potential of 3D printed buildings and other technologies that can drastically reduce material usage.

Currently, it takes about 15 days to build a house, but with 3D printing, we aim to reduce that to under 24 hours, with a goal of under 12 hours.

The 3D printer we use can print both interior and exterior layers of cement, with built-in spaces for wiring and plumbing.

Our first 3D printed house passed the strict Austin City housing code and demonstrated compression strength three times greater than traditional cinderblock homes.

We're a nonprofit that builds houses and communities in the developing world, focusing on Haiti and Latin America.
