guide, since3D printingSince housing technology, the technology is still hot and new to most people at the moment.Although it is not yet possible to replace the traditionalarchitecturetechnology, but with the continuous introduction of new projects, it is believed that this technology is likely to gradually become mainstream in the future.
April 18, 2022 With the development of human technology, it is very likely that artificial labor in the future will be extremely expensive, so building3D printinghas many advantages. For example, a 3D printed house can cost significantly less (materials and labor) and take less time than an equivalent conventionally built house.
Regarding the first 3D-printed house, this article Antarctic Bear mainly summarizes some of the “firsts” of architectural 3D printing, these projects are important for the continued development of the industry, because they lay the foundation for the future development of the field.
Germany’s first 3D printed house
thishouseLocated in the town of Beckum in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, bordering the Netherlands and Belgium. It is the first 3D printed home to be fully certified under the National Government Building Act. This achievement will influence the development of 3D printing construction projects in other regions such as Germany and Europe in the future.
The project is a collaboration between the German construction company Peri and specialized in construction3D printing technologyCo-developed by the Danish company COBOD. Peri is a large company with operations not only in Germany but throughout the European Union. Before acquiring a stake in COBOD in 2018, Peri had been focusing on the field of architectural 3D printing for several years, with the goal of further advancing the technology. Just two years after acquiring the shares, the two parties started building the house in Beckum.
They use COBOD modular BOD2 concrete3D printerwhich took just over 100 hours to complete this project.

America’s first owner-occupied 3D-printed home
Although there are already many 3D-printed houses in the United States, this is the first official home for self-use. Alquist 3D worked with Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg to design, develop and build the home.
From a distance, you would think it’s just an ordinary house. As you get closer, however, the wall’s layered concrete structure reveals the building’s secret: 3D printing. Amazingly, the 1,200-square-foot concrete home was completed in just 12 hours, which is much faster than traditional building techniques.
*Build time: 2021
*Delivery date: December 22, 2021
*Location: Williamsburg, Virginia, USA
*Developers: Alquist 3D, Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg
The first five-story 3D-printed house
This five-story apartment building, 3D printed by Chinese company Yingchuang, is 10 meters high and is the tallest 3D printed building to date.
Typically, 3D printed structures are grey and layer lines are clearly visible. But Yingchuang added color to smoothen the walls and make it look more architectural.
*Construction time: Winter 2014
*Location: Suzhou Industrial Park

The first bybiology3D printed house made of degradable materials
Most 3D printed buildings are made with some kind of concrete mix. But this project is different.In order to create an environment with little impacthousingThe solution, the Italian company WASP 3D used soil and agricultural waste as materials.
To create the perfect mix of materials for the walls, WASP partnered with Ricehouse, a company that specialises in the use of natural and agricultural materials such as clay and rice in construction.
The house was called “Gaia” because the soil was used as a binder for the walls. In fact, 25% of the mix contains local soil, 10% hydraulic lime, 25% rice husks and 40% crushed straw (a by-product of rice production at harvest).
In addition to the mix of materials, the walls feature a modern design scheme. The special wave structure is used to provide ventilation on warm days and insulation on cold days, actually reducing reliance on air conditioning.
The house is approximately 215 feet 2. Still, it took only 10 days to print the wall, and the estimated cost of the materials was less than $1,000.
*Delivery time: October 7, 2018
*Location: Massa Lombarda, Ravenna, Italy

First 3D-printed house available to order on AirBnB
It is the first 3D printed home to be booked through the AirBnB platform, and is located in rural British Columbia, a beautiful and charming resort.
While it may seem small, the house has a lot to offer. Internal dimensions are approximately 375 ft2, enough to accommodate up to four people.
The concrete walls of the house are by Dutch architecture3D printing companyDesigned and printed by Twente. Twenty concrete parts were manufactured in just 11 days, with material sourced by a company called Laticrete.
* Construction time: 2020
*Location: Kootenay, British Columbia, Canada

The first floating 3D printed house
Not only is Prvok the first 3D printed house in the Czech Republic, it is also believed to be the first floating 3D printed house in the world, as it sits on a pontoon.
The house is built by3D printing companyScoolpt made, in which the concrete structure of the floating house took only 22 hours. Since the house is separated from the land, it has a built-in recirculating shower and cistern for drinking water. They claim the house will have a lifespan of at least 100 years.
*Completion time: June 2020
*Delivery time: August 18, 2020

Europe’s first inhabited 3D printed house
In 2017 a couple moved into a 3D-printed house in Nantes, France, making the “Yhnova” house the first inhabited house in Europe.
The house is a project between the University of Nantes and the Nantes Digital Science Laboratory. The project was constructed using a special technology from BatiPrint3D.not adopted3D printerrobotic arms, but uses polyurethane, a material used for insulation, to create the casing for the walls.
It took 54 hours to complete the 3D printing part. However, it took more than 4 months to complete the construction. This is mainly because the roof, doors, windows and installation are done using traditional methods. But the “Yhnova” isn’t that small either, it has about 1025 feet 2 of interior space.
*Build time: 2017
*Delivery time: March 2018
*Location: Nantes, France
*Developer: Nantes University, Nantes Digital Science Laboratory
India’s first 3D printed house
The first 3D printed house in India will be completed in 2020. Executed by an architectural 3D printing company called Tvasta, the significance of the project lies in its solution to the global housing crisis. Being able to build in days at a fraction of the cost of traditional construction could significantly reduce the country’s housing crisis.
With an interior height of 600ft2, it features a single bedroom and a combined kitchen and living space. The foundation is made using the traditional pouring concrete method.
*Build time: 2020
*Location: Chennai, India
*Developer: Tvasta
Africa’s first 3D printed house
Back in 2019, the Spanish company Be More 3D started building Africa’s first 3D printed house in the Moroccan town of Ben Guerir. The project is due to the organization’s participation in the African Solar Decathlon, which asks participants to design and build homes that are powered solely by solar energy.
* Construction time: 2019
