What is meant by the term 3D-printed housing? ANSWERIn simple terms, 3D-printed housing is a modern method of construction. It uses specialised machines on site connected to computer-aided technology to extrude and lay horizontal lines of insulating concrete that rise from the ground as walls. Dublin-based Harcourt Technologies is working with not-for-profit housing company Building for Humanity to deliver Britain’s first 3D-printed housing scheme. HTL suggest that 3D printing could reduce costs on-site by 30%.
