Printers can do amazing things. But will the technology catch on at the homebuilding job site?

Three years, HBSDealer asked about the potential impact of 3-D printing on the homebuilding and construction industry.

“Will the future of housing be printed out in 3-D?” asked the Oct. 8, 2021 poll question.

There were 3-D optimists (14 percent) and 3-D deniers (38 percent). The plurality of responses expected a “small” role for 3-D printing (48 percent).

Time marches on, and innovations bring new opportunities to new markets.

Azure Printed Homes, Inc. a Calif.-based company that makes 3D-printed homes using recycled polymers, says it is expanding operations by more than 100 percent. 

Amerimix, a division of Oldcastle APG, a CRH Company, says its 3D Printing Mortar Mix was provided to New Standard Homes, which resulted in the successful 3D printing of three concrete homes located in Shiner, Texas.
