Top 1: 3D Printed Homes in Georgetown
The use of 3D printing in the construction industry is becoming increasingly widespread. This year, we’ve witnessed several exciting projects in public construction, including Europe’s largest 3D printed building in Heidelberg, a 3D printed clubhouse for the SC Capelle soccer club, and a school in Ukraine. The adoption of 3D printing in construction offers various advantages, such as sustainability, resilience, and numerous design benefits. Moreover, the application of 3D printing in residential building construction is also gaining traction, although many current projects are still in the model stage. However, companies like ICON and Lennar are taking a step further by using 3D printing technology to construct fully habitable houses. In collaboration with BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, they have created an innovative house park known as The Genesis Collection, featuring 100 3D printed houses in Georgetown. These homes are equipped with solar panels on the roof for sustainable power supply.
For those interested, virtual tours are now available to explore these unique homes. The price range for these houses is between $475,000 to $590,000. The successful implementation of 3D printing in residential construction showcases its potential as a practical and forward-looking solution for the housing industry.
