"Print" a house in 24 hours for the price of a car
Updatetime: 2022-03-16

Whether it is a commercial residential building or a self-built house, the construction of a house requires a short period of time, which may be three to six months, or it may be as long as several years. But a house like this, it only takes a day to build.
Serendix Partners, a Japanese company, 3D printed a 20-ton reinforced concrete frame in three hours. After 23 hours and 12 minutes of automated construction by machines, the sturdy spherical House - SPHERE House - was completed.

In fact, there are examples of 3D printers being used to build houses all over the world. In February 2021, the first 3D printed homes in the United States were launched in New York, and in April 2021, the Netherlands also began offering rental homes built using 3D printers. In the Middle East and elsewhere, the construction of 3D printed houses is also being actively carried out.

Serendix Partners Using the 3D Printed SPHERE House, designed by masayuki sono, a Japanese architect who won NASA's 3D Printed Habitat Challenge in 2015, The size is about 10 square meters. Although built in a short time, but also "five viscera".

Thanks to the advantages of the physical structure of the SPHERE, SPHERE House can adapt to a variety of environments, but also to the impact of natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, its performance even meets the European insulation standards and Japan's high seismic standards. The use of 3D printers with advanced technology, coupled with the use of robots to complete the design, the construction of the need for manpower can be minimized.
Serendix Partners began its plans for 3D printed houses in 2019, and one of the reasons it chose this direction was the decline in the number of carpenters, especially in Japan. And that trend is driving up the cost of conventionally built homes.

In terms of cost, the spherical structure of the SPHERE House can minimize the surface area, and the integrated design also means that the number of components can be reduced. Therefore, the cost of 3D printed houses is not high, and the current cost is about 3 million yen, which is comparable to the price of buying a new car.

In the future, Serendix Partners hopes to achieve greater automation to reduce the time and price of construction. It is worth mentioning that the company also plans to build a 30-pyeong (about 99 square meters) house through 3D printing technology.

SPHERE House can be built in 24 hours, the design is eye-catching, the quality is strong, and the cost and time can be saved. High enough cost performance also means a wider range of uses. It can be used as a camping site, or as a vacation home, or as a disaster shelter that can provide immediate relief in the event of a large-scale natural disaster.

High prices, decades-long loan payments... Housing is actually a problem that bothers many people. Of course, there are other factors to consider in this huge and complex problem, but the 3D printed SPHERE House means another possibility - for the price of a car, you may be able to exchange for a house.
