3D Printing is the modern way of building flexible houses and the
possible solution of construction oriented pollution. In 3D printing, the raw material used for construction is Concrete. The process is simple and the house is constructed live on the location.
In 3D Printing, the main equipment that is used for building houses is a
giant printer. With proper management and workforce it takes nearly six to eight hours to set up the printer on the spot. Thereafter, it can print about a 2000 square foot home within 48 hours. Basically the printer travels within the fixed area and spreads concrete layer by layer. Thus the walls and frame of the house is created. After the house is built, the strength and durability of the house is way too stronger than the conventional wooden framed house. Also the concrete is two to three times stronger than the conventional bricks. In this type of construction, the amount of material that has been used is fixed, therefore net construction waste tends to zero. Besides, we don't need a whole lot of area for dumping construction materials that we need in conventional construction. In printer robot based technology or AI is used which in terms reduces the cost of the construction.
3D printing is comparatively cheaper, revolutionary and a new method
of building houses. As every coin has two sides, this convention has some disadvantages too. This method can’t be used for high storied buildings. As high storied buildings and skyscrapers can’t be made, a huge amount of space is being wasted. Still on the planet 150 millions are homeless and 3D printing is the ray of hope for them ensuring cheap, affordable and durable houses.
