S-Squared 3D Printers says it has
built the largest 3D printed concrete house in the world.
Patchogue, New York is now home to a new 3D printed home – and it took
fewer than 12 hours to complete. The 500-square-foot residence was built by
S-Squared 3D Printers and its “Autonomous Robotic Construction
System.”
The patent-pending technology allows multiple machines to work together
to build a home with little or no human assistance, the company said in a news
release.
“The 3D building process ushers in a new level of affordability for
homeowners and businesses like never before,” the company said. “In
addition, this new technology can reduce construction costs by as much as 70%.”
Construction costs go way down using the 3D printing technology and the
speed with which it takes to build is much quicker, taking hours instead of
weeks, months or years. The operation is also eco-friendly, as the technology
uses about the same amount of electricity as a standard hair dryer.
The home is the largest 3D-printed concrete-built home in the world, the
company said in a news release. While Patchogue might seem an odd destination
for the “world’s largest” 3D printed home, all S-Squared members are
actually from Patchogue, Director of Operations Kirk Andersen told Patch on
Thursday.
S-Squared 3D Printers homes won’t stay in Patchogue for long, as the company has accepted a contract to build 80 homes in Kansas ranging from 12,000 square feet to 24,000 square feet, said Andersen. https://patch.com/new-york/patchogue/3d-printed-home-built-patchogue-photos
