What’s happening? We first met Austin’s own Icon which uses 3D printing to build cement composite homes and buildings. Now, we have 3D wood printed homes, assembled in half a day from the University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center. These 3D wood homes are made with fully recyclable wood-fiber and can help address affordable housing as well as labor and supply chain shortages.
Why is this important? affordable housing + labor shortage + supply chain shortages
