Homes are typically built for weeks to months or even years, depending on how big the house is and its design, but a New York firm has made it possible to create a house in just a few days with the use of a massive 3D printer.

3D Printed House Created
A demo house for the 3D printed home was created by a New York company known as SQ4D to show the public and the industry what they could do.
The demo house was built in Calverton, New York.
Kirk Andersen, the director of operations for the company, said that the actual printing time for the walls took 48 hours, which is included in their eight-day process of building the entire home that now stands in Calverton.

Check this out! The first 3d printed house is now for sale at $299,000. About a third of the cost of a typical house in the same area built the traditional way. The footings, foundation and slab, along with the walls, entirely made with the 3D printer.
NEW YORK You ve probably heard of 3D printed face masks and even 3D printed hands, as 3D printing technology has expanded over the past few decades.
Now a company says it has listed the first 3D printed house in the United States for sale. The Riverhead, New York, home is listed online through Zillow with an asking price of $299,999. This is the future, there is no doubt about it, says Kirk Andersen, the director of operations at SQ4D Inc.
SQ4D uses automated building methods, or 3D printing, to build structures and homes. What we want to do is print homes fast, and cheap and strong, Andersen said.
