- Startup Havelar built Portugal’s first 3D printed home using COBOD’s popular printing system.
- The walls of the two-bedroom, 861-square-foot home were printed in 18 hours.
- The Portugal-based startup says it can build faster and cheaper than conventional construction.
If companies like Portugal-based Havelar have their way, the future of affordable housing will look like perfectly stacked strands of spaghetti (as in, they’d be 3D printed).
Printing-construction startup Havelar says it can build a new home in less than two months while pricing it significantly below market, all with the help of a robotic construction printer.
It may sound like an impossible claim, but its latest project — and Portugal’s first 3D printed home — has made its case.
