3D printing has once again proved its worth in the construction sector<\/a>: Ukrainian start-up UTU, a manufacturer of 3D printers for houses<\/a>, has just completed the manufacturing of a home<\/a> in the town of Irpin, west of Kiev. This is a first for this township, which has been severely scarred by war. It has been donated to the family of a Ukrainian soldier, Yaroslav Berezov, who died in combat. They have already moved into the 130-square-meter structure, which took 58 hours to print.<\/p>\n

Startup UTU is determined to make its mark on the construction market. It has developed a 3D concrete printer equipped with a robotic arm that offers a printing volume of 220 square meters round, or 140 square meters for a square structure – this is a perimeter that can be reached without moving the machine. As you can see, UTU’s aim is to offer comfortable housing thanks to a machine that can be transported and set up quickly on site. According to the manufacturer, it takes just 2\u20133 hours to set up the 3D printer and get it up and running.<\/p>\n

Turning to the house built in Irpin, the startup claims that it was completed in just 58 hours using 72 tonnes of material. It’s not clear exactly which material was used, but if the UTU website is to be believed, the teams worked with a bespoke concrete made from a mortar developed by Henkel that produces a uniform, consistent concrete. The manufacturer adds, \u201cThe specially designed mortar is prepared directly in the printer, which therefore needs no additional equipment, saving money on its purchase and operation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

The family of soldier Yaroslav Berezov moved into this 130-square-meter, 3-bedroom house, which also serves as a shelter in case of need. In fact, it incorporates safety features such as windows with bulletproof glass and walls blocking moving signals thanks to cavities filled with monolithic concrete. Finally, it’s worth noting that this project is not just the work of UTU – some one hundred people helped to make this house a reality, from architects, decorators and designers to furniture and appliance manufacturers.<\/p>\n

One thing’s for sure: the house is equipped and decorated, totally functional and pleasant to occupy, if the Berezov family is to be believed. If you’d like to find out more about the features of the UTU machine, click HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n
