3D Printing in Housing Market

Detroit-based non-profit, Citizen Robotics, is developing materials for 3D printed homes to offer an affordable housing alternative. The process involves a robotic arm layering a cement material to build walls like icing a cake. These 3D printed homes aim to reduce heating and cooling costs significantly, up to $120 per month, promising durability and potential for solar panel installation. Despite the benefits, the first 3D printed house in Detroit priced at $225,000 faces challenges in affordability and market adoption.
