We have already seen 3D printers at work that build an entire house or part of large buildings: how about one that builds an entire neighborhood?
La New Story, a nonprofit construction company, shared a video that shows the mechanism of creation of what he calls “the first 3D printed community,” a futuristic application of XNUMXD printing technology 3D that will make making home purchases accessible to those who need it most.
The video shows the Vulcan II, a proprietary 3D printer, in action by size 10 meters by 3 meters as he pours concrete on site to form the framework of a small home (a process that the company claims takes less than a day).
From a single house to an entire block the step is short: the video lingers then on the interiors of the printed houses, which appear bright and airy.
Beneficial technology
The New Story video is purely demonstrative, but the project is absolutely real: the construction in Latin America of an entire neighborhood consisting of 50 homes is scheduled for this summer.
Each home will have an estimated cost of around $ 7000, and only households with an income of less than $ 200 a month will be able to purchase it.
“We want to bring the most advanced technology to the families who need it most to improve their lives. their conditions of life,” says the CEO of New Story, Brett Hagler.
