Netherlands researchers planning to print their way out of a housing crisis 3 minutes read
Netherlands researchers have come up with a concrete solution to address the shortage of housing in the nation – by printing new dwellings.
Eindhoven University of Technology, a technical and research university in the country’s south that specialises in engineering science and technology, is leading the way with Project Milestone.
According to the university, printing can drastically reduce raw material consumption and is forecast to greatly increase the speed of construction in the future.
Project Milestone’s website has said it is the “world’s first commercial housing project based on 3D-concrete printing”.
