The world's first community of 3D printed homes
What were the circumstances for the community and families this project impacted?
These families were some of the lowest income, highest-need families we have ever served. At the outset of the project, we partnered with local government officials to survey more than 500 families in the area, to identify those with the greatest need. The 10 families in this community have an average median income of $76.
50 per month, which is well below the lowest threshold we typically require of families we serve in Mexico. Families in this community work in a variety of occupations, and work often changes based on what is available in each season. Additionally, most of the homes the families previously lived in were prone to flooding because of their proximity to the nearby river, which overflows during the rainy season.
How did you select the families?
Families were selected using a three-part process:
1. We worked closely with nonprofit partners to identify an area with the greatest need.
2. Once an area was identified, we worked with partners to survey each family individually to understand their specific circumstances.
3. After surveying, we selected the families who have the greatest physical and financial need for a home.
When do families move-in?
The families moved in November 2021.
Did the families receive the homes for free?
Families received the homes at a zero interest, zero profit mortgage.
The total mortgage amount is around 400 pesos a month, a manageable amount even for very low-income families, and lasts for seven years. The rest of the cost of the home is considered a subsidy from New Story. The mortgage funds don’t return to New Story or ECHALE, but rather are pooled into a community investment fund where families over time vote on how the funds are used.
By investing into their homes, families are more likely to stay in the homes long-term, take better care of the community, and provide more meaningful feedback through the planning process.
Did this project take jobs from locals?
Build out on the homes still required for land clearing, foundations, doors, windows, and roofs. We hired locals for all of the build out and didn’t decrease the numbers of individuals hired as compared to traditional construction.
What type of maintenance will the houses require? What is the estimated cost of maintenance and is this covered by the families or New Story?
Homes will require the same maintenance as traditional CMY block homes.
New Story monitors home and community aging through our Impact Data Program. Families are surveyed before home intervention and again at various milestones following move-in. This allows us to identify any community issues that need to be addressed by New Story. Traditional wear and tear on homes is covered by the families.

All News Interview Developments Contests 3D printing in the world
Milling aluminum intake manifold
We were recently approached by a customer with the task of manufacturing a durable intake manifold part for a Mercedes Sprinter engine.
Surely many owners of the Mercedes Sprinter on the 646 engine are familiar with this weak link in the car. The logical decision in this situation was the manufacture of a similar, but more durable metal parts. We proposed to make a collector from aluminum using CNC milling.
How to export 3D models from different programs to STL?
To start printing on a 3D printer, you need to prepare a digital 3D model. In order for a digital model to be accepted by a 3D printer, you need to export it to the .STL format suitable for most printers. In this article, we will show you how to export a 3D model to STL format in the most common 3D modeling programs.
Where can I find ready-made 3D models for printing on a 3D printer?
The first and indispensable condition for 3D printing is the availability of a digital 3D model in the .STL format “edible” for most 3D printers.
We have compiled a selection of sites with ready-made 3D models for 3D printing.

How to make a solar ship controller?
Summing up the results of the outgoing year, we want to tell you about one of the most interesting projects that we managed to implement together with our colleagues from the technopark - the engineering company "Electric Transport Technologies". It was necessary to make 30 controller cases for solar-powered racing ships for participants in the All-Russian engineering competition "Solar Regatta".
Why is CNC milling better than turning?
Milling is the processing of parts by hand or on a machine using a cutter.
The word cutter itself comes from the French "fraise" to grind, crush. The French often exaggerate, the cutter does not directly crush, but the essence is generally conveyed. A milling cutter is a small gear that removes layers from the surface of a workpiece at a given point. You can set this point manually or using the program.
