The Future of Homebuilding

With the wild ride that we’ve been on with lumber prices and a labor shortage that is going to persist for the foreseeable future, there’s every incentive in the world for technology like this to emerge.

Want a home in the shape of a four-leaf clover with the stem as a hallway? That’s a specific and perhaps unusual dream, but Richardson-based PRINT3D can make it happen, extruding concrete walls from a 3D printer like a soft-serve ice cream machine.  

The benefits of 3D concrete printing over traditional construction are numerous. The homes are wind resistant, fire resistant, mold resistant and termite proof. Even more importantly, the homes will soon be substantially less expensive to build than brick-and-mortar homes.
