Apis Cor, one of the world’s leading construction 3D printing company, has opened up the world’s first 3D printed home showroom in Florida, US. The showroom, located in a warehouse in Brevard County, Florida, showcases the most recent 3D printing technology, which has the potential to totally change the home-building and architecture industries.

At Apis Cor’s Avenue Viera facility, a 3D printing robot “Frank” greets visitors to the world’s first 3D printed home showroom. He comes from an exceptional family, since his predecessor printed and completed the Guinness Book, World’s Largest 3D Printed Building on Earth.

The 3D printed home showroom allows the general public to get an inside look at the emerging technology that may be a commonplace in the near future.

“I definitely think 3D printing is a pillar in the construction industry, right now. The innovation is needed, and another great benefit of it is it replaces human error. People can kind of go around and look at the wall samples and see that it’s very similar to traditional concrete masonry block construction. And see how windows are implemented,” she continued.

– Jennifer McKinney, Apis Cor’s Business Operation Manager

Brevard-based Apis Cor, a non-traditional construction company, is responsible for Frank’s existence. According to Apis Cor, any home design is possible, and there are no restrictions on a home’s square footage, wall shapes, or even height. With the click of a button, two-story buildings can be printed.

Proponents of 3D printed home technology claim that it addresses a number of industry-wide issues such as waste, labour shortages, and environmental impacts. They also claim that 3D printed homes can be completed quickly.

“I like the fact that it’s so durable. In different parts of the country we are seeing storms, the tornadoes that went through Kentucky, are not far from where we live,” Ohio resident Jan Stockton said while visiting.

Traditional construction sites are typically littered with leftover materials and scraps, but Apis Cor claims that its 3D home printing will eliminate the majority of that waste. As a result, 3D-printing initiatives will be greener and more efficient than traditional construction methods.

McKinney added, “We just print what we need and even if there’s a little bit here and there, we can reincorporate it back into the home.”

Homes will start at $300,000, according to McKinney, but the sky is the limit. A $7,000 deposit will reserve a 3D printed home and will be applied to the total price of the house once construction begins in 2023.

Before expanding across the country, the company plans to focus on building homes in Florida.

We include a standardized inspection report with every order and offer a First Article Inspection service on orders of 100+ units.

We have partners in our network with the following certifications, available on request: ISO9001, ISO13485 and AS9100.
Follow this link to read more about our quality assurance measures.

How do I select the right 3D printing process for my prints?

You can select the right 3D printing process by examining which materials suit your need and what your use case is.

By material: if you already know which material you would like to use, selecting a 3D printing process is relatively easy, as many materials are technology specific.
By use case: once you know whether you need a functional or visual part, choosing a process is easy.

For more help, read our guide to selecting the right 3D printing process. Find out more about Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and Stereolithography (SLA).

How can I reduce the cost of my 3D prints?

In order to reduce the cost of your 3D prints you need to understand the impact certain factors have on cost. The main cost influencing factors are the material type, individual part volume, printing technology and post-processing requirements.

Once these have been decided, an easy way to further cut costs is to reduce the amount of material used. This can be done by decreasing the size of your model, hollowing it out, and eliminating the need for support structures.

To learn more, read our full guide on how to reduce the cost of 3D printing.

Tallahassee is building the first house using 3D printer technology

Home News Techno Tallahassee builds first 3D printer home

In Griffin Heights, Tallahassee, Precision Building and Renovating is building the first house entirely printed on a giant 3D printer. Construction began on Thursday, July 29.

“I even pinched myself. I still find it hard to believe that this is actually happening, ”said 39-year-old Kindra Light (Kyndra Light) co-owner of Precision Building and Renovating.

Together with her husband, James Light, they have been looking for a modern and economical way to build affordable housing. And the couple chose a 3D printer from Printed Farms, which has access to technology from a Danish corporation called COBOD.

They first bought land in the Griffin Heights area. Then the couple entered into an agreement for the construction. And now passers-by and specially flown experts are watching how a huge machine lays out the walls of the future house layer by layer.

Work began on Thursday 29 July. The scheduled completion date for construction is Friday evening, August 6th. The giant printer builds up to two feet of wall a day.

A huge metal structure has been installed on the site, which covers the construction site. A small “nose” moves along it, which applies a special Laticrete concrete solution layer by layer.

As a result, the building is "wavy", but this only adds to its individuality. After the solution hardens, it takes some more time to shrink and deliver the furniture. After 6-8 weeks, the owner will be able to move into his unusual home.
