Enthusiasm remains undiminished, the pace and volume of property sales are at their highest in 14 years, and the stock of homes has fallen to a 40-year low, keeping prices high. However, the U.S. housing market has recently seen a new choice-3D printingHouse.
Zachary Mannheimer, CEO of Alquist 3D, told Fox Business3D printingThe house was assembled in only 22 hours, and it is not only cheap, but also looks the same as other houses.

“The house was printed on the spot,” says Mannheimer. “We printed all the exterior walls, the foundations were laid as normal, and the house was almost like a layer cake.”

Mannheimer said that the raw materials for printing houses include: composite stone, cement and concrete. The stability of the material is even better than that of wooden houses in the United States, which can be moisture-proof and fire-proof; the construction cost is 10% to 15% lower than that of traditional wooden houses.

“We think this (construction costs) will only climb over the next 24 months, and we expect savings[of construction costs]to 30 percent,” Mannheimer said.
He said his company operates in four key areas — labor, materials, time and
energy
, saving most of the money, “We only need about three or four people to operate the printer, and concrete costs less than traditional wood.”
Mannheimer said that the process of building a house only requires one person to watch the machine, one to watch the computer, and the other to coordinate on the spot. Compared with the time and labor cost of building traditional houses in the past, 3D printing is expected to be a game-changer that subverts the industry – making it possible to build a house in as little as one day.
