Outreach project embraces city building with 3D printer
The world's first neighborhood built entirely with a 3D printer is located in a rural area just outside Tabasco (Mexico). The first two 3D-printed houses of the 50 houses expected to be built with this technology are now complete.
This action comes from a non-profit project, with the purpose of providing a better quality of life to the neediest families in Latin America, giving them more comfort.
The 10-meter-long Vulcan II printer is capable of lifting the walls of these 46m² homes in just 24 hours and is ready to work in harsh conditions far away from the city.
The rest of the house, roofs, windows and doors are completed by shufflers in the traditional way. Among the technical features, they have a rainy ceiling that adapts to the rainy climate of the region, while the walls are also curved to facilitate cleaning and prevent them from filling with mold.
Fuseproject's architects' studio joined the project by New Story, a nonprofit association, to build a housing project in poor Latin American farming communities to help access a decent home.
The interior of the houses is divided into two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a toilet, and all have electrical and water connections.
