Take a look inside Los Angeles' first ever 3D Printed house!
Introduction and Overview of the 3D-Printed House:
0:01 Origins of The 3D-Printed House Project
1:22 Tour of the 3D Printed House
3:48 Build Time
4:28 Cost vs Traditional Houses
6:50 Benefits of Concrete Houses
8:40 The Plans for This House
This video showcases Southern California's first 3D-printed home, located on the campus of Woodbury University in Burbank. Originally a student group project for a design competition, the house turned into a functional residence. The 425 sq ft house is a Net Zero building, meeting all energy requirements through solar panels and innovative features.
The construction cost was approximately $250,000, excluding land expenses. Despite being a small house, the design and use of 3D printing technology make it feel more spacious. The interior, highlighting features such as a functional kitchen donated by Ikea, a portable battery powering the house, and sustainable elements like water recycling and efficient hot water heating.
While the the current cost of 3D printing technology makes it comparable to traditional construction methods, it notes the potential for future cost reductions as the technology evolves. The house's resilience to natural disasters, energy efficiency, and potential for multi-unit configurations are discussed as advantages. The video concludes by considering potential uses for the house, such as addressing housing insecurities for students or hosting visiting faculty involved in 3D printing technology. Overall, it explores the practicality and benefits of 3D-printed homes in the context of contemporary construction challenges.

Concrete construction is the norm in Germany while in the US wood frame housing is common. This has to do with resources and the US has a lot of trees that can be sustainably harvested and their scarcity in Germany means other materials have to be used in the construction if buildings. 3D printing is a new technology that promises to do for real estate what mass automation did for cars but bringing the price down won’t come until its mature so it won’t address the affordable housing crisis in the interim. Still, what the Woodbury U students did shows us what the future could look like. Thanks for the review! 😊

I LOVED this! I loved homes with curved walls and the exposed concrete on the inside - I would probably paint the outside though. It's actually super common in tropical areas to have concrete homes due to cyclones/hurricanes. In the Pacific Islands most buildings and homes are concrete. I love that it's sustainable, and it looks so much more solid and architectural than other prefab homes.

Brick blocks, steel reinforcement in the walls and concrete are typical materials for building houses in Serbia. Wooden frame houses and dry walls are condsidered cheap and of lower quality houses here. However, I love the 'breathability' of the wooden frame house. You didn't mention how would they insulate the house in colder climates. Keep heat from entering the indoors works for California, but keeping heat in is also very important in colder regions.

Possible correction: at 0:42 you said that the house was “net zero” meaning that it has zero net greenhouse gas emissions, but as Kishani says at 2:02, the home is “zero net energy” which roughly means that it produces as much electricity as it consumes. Similar-sounding terms but they mean something different. “Net zero” is more of a term that companies or countries use in their pledges, saying that they’re going to reduce their emissions and then either remove carbon from the air or pay others to avoid emissions so that their net impact is 0.

3D printers are not needed to construct homes out of concrete. In Europe we've been doing that since forever, mostly as the skeleton of the house. Renovation is indeed a lot more difficult :) I think the added value of 3D concrete printing is that allows for more design freedom.

Of course it's not so cheap right now, but all new technologies are expensive at first till they reach main adoption. I like that they mixed 3D printed concrete with timber beams and planks on the roof! Also, as an European I find it very strange that the USA is not used to build in concrete... especially in places like LA with many earthquakes and fires... We've been building with reinforced concrete since the 70s/80s at least... But we are actually going back to build more with wood/timber for sustainable reasons. Anyway, nice video!

They are stronger than people already, thanks to their new motor and "muscle" systems and with A.I. improvements, they'll be able to outwork any person.

What type of construction are you planning for the Joshua Tree house project? My last thoughts are, since homeowners in disaster prone areas are now subject to no or scarce home insurance, do you suppose the the US government would give tax rebates for new construction of concrete homes? Hopefully Uncle Sam will lower costs for builders of these types of homes, like you said prices over time will eventually become lower such as what happens with new electronic devices. I'm glad you tackled this project Shelby, you rock!

Concrete is definitely not a negative compared to wood construction. Many of the high end luxury houses are concrete. However for the 3D printing to actually work it has to be a far more holistic process that does most of the house on its own. Just doing skeleton walls and the rest conventionally is indistinguishable from a normal process, likely worse with the current limitations. The novelty alone has no real value, it actually has to work. And like I've said before laser sintering of various powders is far more potent than pooping concrete. You can laser sinter sand for the bulk of structures, it has no cure time that requires human labor. Laser sinter metal powders for embedded electrical wires and rebar reinforcement, even floor heating and you print cavities for plumbing. It has to do the foundation, flooring, floor heating, ceiling and roof all in one process and that is quite easy to do. Windows is too hard to 3D print for now but if that's all you have to install manually to complete any house, that would be a huge step ahead. Concrete has been very useful but this is the laser age. It really could be very sophisticated constructions, far more fine grained that these concrete structures. You could do elaborate ceiling moldings and with the right laser technique the surface finish could be flawless. You probably wouldn't need to paint the walls with the right technique. Neither in or out. Just deposit white ceramic powder. It doesn't need to poop out a thick bead, there is no hurry to get it wrong. It doesn't matter if it's a 4 months print if it makes a magnificent house with zero labor and a bit of electricity and a bunch of dirt cheap sand. Sand is so cheap that you only pay for the transport of it. Imagine a 10000sqft immaculate home virtually for free except for windows, kitchen and flooring. The LA soil is not dirt cheap though.

In South Florida, where I live, it's against code to build a stick-built house. All houses down here have the outer walls built out of concrete block and concrete. Stick-built houses won't survive a hurricane. That's why you're not allowed to build one where I live. A 3D printed house may appear to be expensive. However, nine days to print the structure is very quick. As I said before, where I live, homes are build out of concrete block and concrete. Printing the structure might be faster than having workers build the house by hand. You'd have to look at the differences in the cost of labor, materials, and time saved by using 3D printing. When you look at all the variables, it might be more cost effective to print the structure.

I can inform you all that concrete building is a technology that is dying or needs to be reinvented. Maybe concrete as a material of building houses is new to United States. But it is very normal and the standard in building houses in Scandinavia and Europe as well. Even though it looks like we have many brick , They are actually concrete houses with a brick facade. The issue, however, is the fact that Concrete is made with the use of sand and send as a natural resource is starting to disappear. And it is disappearing because we have been using sand for concrete for so long now. The solution most likely is using concrete only where it is absolutely necessary, and using other materials elsewhere in a clever way.

Concert per se does not do bettering an earthquake. A wood framed house does better because it is more flexible. In the 1973 Northridge, CA earth quake the majority of the building damage was concrete strutters like parking garages. A wood framed part building fell down but that was because the concrete foundations were subpar. All concrete buildings in LA Country had to undergo a retro fit to add special earthquake ties to prevent roofs on concrete tilt up buildings from falling because the concrete would crack instead of sway.. Framing a house and putting on siding goes relatively fast and is nit that expensive. Modern wood framed houses are more environmentally friendly than concrete. Trees are renewable and take very little power to cut down and mill. Mining, manufacturing, and transporting concrete uses a lot of carbon based power. In addition the most vulnerable part of a house in a wildfire isn't the sides of house, it is the roof.
