Sharjah 24 – Reuters: An Italian 3D printing manufacturer has completed the printing phase of its first eco-friendly 3D printed house, made entirely of sustainable, recyclable materials.
This Italian company is 3D-printing eco-friendly homes made entirely of sustainable, recyclable materials.
The TECLA eco-homes are made with soil from the building site which is then mixed with rice waste and stabilisers producing a clay that is strong and water-resistant.
The building design is then fed into the 3D printer which only requires two people to operate and 200 hours of printing later ... voila!
“The eco-houses are, I think, the right way and the right approach, thanks to 3D. So this can be also time-saving of course and cost-saving, to replace a new way of living. Because in some ways, planet earth is asking us for this approach, this challenge. So eco-houses turn the traditional model into a new one that can be carbon neutral and zero emissions,” Alberto Chiusoli, Building Engineer of WASP 3D Printing Construction Team said.
