It seems that 3D-printing is getting a bigger and bigger role in the construction industry as the years pass. A startup company in Ukraine called PassivDom can actually print an entire house that can fit a 410sq-ft area in just eight hours. What’s more, the house is autonomous and powered by sustainable energy. It’s also incredibly affordable, with the price starting at $64,000.
On its website, the startup highlights what it considers the advantages of its 3D-printed houses, including being perfect for those who want to be off the grid. The house supposedly needs no electricity to be cooled or heated.
The company also notes how the house is powered by solar energy, which makes it perfect for most living spaces on the planet. The printed house can also apparently be moved and set down anywhere without the need for a foundation, which would make for efficient relocation.
Although it only launched in the Spring of this year, the startup has apparently received up to 8,000 preorders from customers in the U.S., the first 100 of which will be delivered in January. The speed of delivery is largely due to the efficiency of the actual printing process.
The startup basically uses a robot that can 3D-print the parts of the house that can be easily assembled. These include the walls, the roof, and the floor. Everything else would then be added by human construction workers, which include the windows, doors, the electrical system, and plumbing.
It’s worth noting that PassivDom is not the only company that is currently offering affordable and sustainable 3D-printed houses. There’s also Apis Cor, which is based in California and the Dutch firm, Dus Architects, Futurism reports.
3D-printing might be a relatively new feature in the construction industry, but it is quickly advancing as an essential part of the business. Experts believe that 3D-printing is a cheaper and more sustainable means of building structures and as the technology gets better, it will only get cheaper.
