First-Ever 3D-Printed Housing Community Being Built In California
BINZHOU, CHINA - SEPTEMBER 22: A 3D-printed villa is seen on September 22, 2016 in Binzhou, Shandong Province of China. Two 3D-printed villas of Suzhou style have completed in east China's Binzhou City recently. The two 3D-printed villas took high-dense and high-powered concrete with its construction printer being 150 meters high. 3D-printed buildings cover several advantages that they are constructed faster, cost lower, more protective and more creative space as well as others.

A five-acre housing development in Southern California is the first of its kind – every one of its 15 homes has been 3D-printed.
The 1,450-square-foot homes are built from modular panels that fit together “like Lego blocks”, according to the developer. The homes are solar powered and virtually everything is 3D printed, which cuts down on excess waste. The homes are affordable – at least for SoCal. A three-bedroom, two-bath house with a deck and swimming pool will set you back $595,000 – in a region where the average home value is more than $825,000.
