The First 100% Bio-Based 3D-Printed Home | Printed on the World's Largest 3D Printer

Описание: Can you imagine what it would be like to live in a home that was printed on a printer? Well, here you go. The first ever bio based 3D home printed right here in Maine on the world's largest 3D printer.

Matt Pouliot from Pouliot Real Estate takes you on a tour of the first ever bio based 3D home, which is still undergoing research on the campus of the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC).

This is the first 3D-printed house made entirely with bio-based materials. BioHome3D was developed with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hub and Spoke program between the UMaine and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Partners included MaineHousing and the Maine Technology Institute.

The 600-square-foot prototype features 3D-printed floors, walls and roof of wood fibers and bio-resins. The house is fully recyclable and highly insulated with 100% wood insulation and customizable R-values. Construction waste was nearly eliminated due to the precision of the printing process.

"We give tours of this all the time, and there's very few people who walk into this house that say "I don't want one." Just about everybody who walks in says "When can I get one?" - Dr. Habib Dagher
