Best 3D Printed Houses

Precise electric motors control the deposition of the building material. So each layer of the house can be accurately laid down at a relatively brief pace. And because it is a machine that is doing the controlling, the construction of 3D printed houses can be automated and continuous from start to finish. There are none of the time constraints associated with a human team. Nor the time spent checking their accuracy. They are only needed to set up the 3D printer, then feed and monitor it.

Because of the shorter construction times, more 3D printed houses can be completed in the same amount of time.

And only 2-3 people are needed to monitor the 3D printer and feed it more material. So smaller teams reduce the cost of labour.

Certain curved or complex features may also be cheaper to 3D print, compared with traditional methods.

With control of each layer, and each part of each layer, it is possible to add relatively complex and rounded features on 3D printed houses that were not possible before. As well as 3D print surface textures that would’ve been otherwise difficult to create manually.

This enables architects to experiment and design with unconventional shapes and structures.

With a machine doing the building, the possibility of errors during building is greatly reduced. And the entire path of the 3D printer is simulated beforehand to identify any possible issues during construction of 3D printed houses.

By having the exact path, speed and extrusion rate of the 3D printer, builders are able to accurately estimate the amount of material that will be required to construct 3D printed houses. Again contributing to better planning and efficiency.
