First 3D Printed Multi Story Home

New directions for efficient assembly become possible

 First Multi-Story 3D-Printed Home Blends Concrete, Wood

Cornell University Chronicle

James Dean, September 14, 2022

Researchers at Cornell University, PERI 3D Construction, contractor CIVE, and other building industry partners are participating in the three-dimensional (3D)-printing of a two-story, single-family home in Houston. The design mixes elements fabricated from 3D-printed concrete with wood framing and minimizes waste, creating structures that are efficient, resilient against weather, and potentially less expensive than homes bult in more traditional ways. The researchers said the construction processes can be scaled up to produce multifamily and mixed-use developments. Said Cornell's Sasa Zivkovic, "Apart from printing technology, the integration of printing with building design and building materials, and the streamlining of construction process are important aspects in the realization of such a project." ...
