A 95 sqm 3D printed family home in France cost 20 per cent less to build than traditional building methods, at €195,000, according to Nantes University.
The 3D printer builds the walls by ‘printing’ a layer of polyurethane then a layer of cement then another layer of polyurethane, essentially the same build up as an insulating concrete formwork wall but with a robotic arm. The process just took a few days but then the roof, windows and services were added with traditional methods. batiprint3d.frSelfbuild Live Dublin is the ultimate showcase for people who are building, extending, improving or simply decorating their home.
