3D Printing

Concrete is known for it's durability, withstanding a lot more pressure and force than other materials. You can rest easy in your 3D printed concrete home during intense weather events

The high thermal mass of tightly sealed concrete walls, combined with insulation, prevents drafts and creates an airtight, high-performing, energy-efficient home.

3D printing with concrete offers unparalleled design flexibility for architects. Its free-flowing nature allows for the incorporation of unique shapes and custom features, enabling more creative and intricate designs than traditional wood and steel construction. This innovative approach enhances the potential for architectural creativity and customization.

Concrete home construction offers a more durable wall system compared to wood and steel. Unlike wood, concrete walls do not rot when exposed to moisture from wind-driven rain, diffusion, or airflow. Additionally, unlike steel, concrete does not rust when exposed to moisture. Concrete walls also resist termites, which can cause extensive damage and costly repairs in wood houses.

Fire-resistant concrete walls are more effective at resisting fire damage and limiting the spread of flames compared to wood and steel. During a fire, steel can melt, and wood can burn, but concrete remains robust.

Concrete construction creates homes capable of withstanding the severe winds of hurricanes and tornadoes. Researchers at the National Wind Institute of Texas Tech University have found that concrete walls can endure winds up to 250 miles per hour and resist flying debris.
