3-D Printed Homes

As the demand for social housing 
Shoots up in many countries
The waiting list of council homes
Increasing with each year 
The number of homeless people in 
The streets increasing significantly 
Even in the developed countries 
There is a need for faster construction 
Of homes that need to withstand 
The climate change effects 
Large 3-D printing machines can 
Build a floor of houses within days 
All sorts of complex structures are 
Built with 3-D printing technology 
3-D printed homes made with concrete,
Hempcrete, and other materials show 
Good thermal and insulation properties Make homes cooler inside in hot areas 
Cost savings are possible with no plastering, With lesser manual work 
Multiple homes can be constructed faster 
It can solve social housing issues 
If governments adopt this technology 
It is ideal for constructing small houses 
3-D printed homes could be a cheaper solution for social housing demands. Hempcrete based 3-D printing can be sustainable solution for none availability of sand. Basic structures printing only need human supervision and providing the material. It eliminates labour costs significantly. Avoiding plastering can also provide cost savings.  ASME and The Guardian
