California Man Builds Solar-Powered Trike with Stuff in His Garage-And it's Catching On
He says he built the contraption based on something he saw in his dreams, and out of things he had lying around in his garage.
An enormous printer is erecting what is reported to be the first 3D-printed, two-story home in the U.S in Houston, Texas.
"An enormous printer weighing more than 12 tons is creating what is believed to be the first 3D-printed, two-story home in the United States."
That's according to a new video from Reuters News, highlighting the 4,000-square-foot home in Houston, Texas.
The huge printer erected on the site requires 330 hours of printing to create the three-bedroom home.
Called the House of Cores, the design combines concrete 3D printing with wood framing.
The project is the culmination of a two-year collaborative effort between architectural designers Leslie Lok and Sasa Zivkovic, principals of HANNAH; along with PERI 3D Construction, and CIVE, one of the leading engineering and design/build contractors in Houston.
In 2020, a 2-story home was 3D-printed in Europe—with two living rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and foyer—by a Belgian company working on sustainable construction.
