TEMPE, Ariz., June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Leading the charge toward an innovative and sustainable way to increase affordable housing, Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona is building the global housing nonprofit s first 3D-printed home in the United States.
Construction of the home, which began in May, combines 3D printing using a Build on Demand Printer (BOD 2) shipped from Germany-based PERI Group, and traditional methods to create a pioneering model for the future.
Habitat for Humanity builds its first 3D-printed home in the U.S. While we have found success in building small 3D-printed homes abroad, at 1,700 square feet, this home represents Habitat s entry into new, innovative space. It is the first of its kind in the U.S. and sets the stage for increased capacity through a solution that could be both sustainable and cost-effective, said Adrienne Goolsby, senior vice president of U.S. and Canada at Habitat for Humanity International.
Habitat For Humanity Central Arizona is leading the way in innovative affordable housing by building the first 3D printed home in the United States. As the cost of labor, lumber, and construction materials continues to rise, 3D printed homes seem to be the most promising solution. The use of printers also makes it possible to complete building during the hottest seasons of the year.
