With 3D Printing,
We Can Finally Provide Quality Shelter To Low-Income Households
For centuries to come.
The Traditional Way of Construction Is Now History.
High costs, slow construction time, and increased attention on global sustainability is plaguing the housing industry – making it hard for new homes to be developed while unfairly harming low-income households.
But the worst part – traditional construction leads to poor quality housing.
- Both home design and structure significantly influence housing quality and may affect mental and physical health.
- (Low income) homes may be underinsulated, lack air conditioning, and cost more to heat, leaving homes either too hot or too cold, which has been linked to poorer health outcomes
- Inadequately vented appliances in the home may result in increased exposure to carbon monoxide in utero, which may affect fetal development or even result in fetal death.
- Corroded plumbing infrastructure (e.g., in Flint, Michigan) increases residents’ exposure to lead and their risk of lead poisoning

Poor-quality housing takes more lives than it helps create...
A home’s poor design and structure in low-income communities is a leading cause in negative health effects that can mentally harm individuals (depression and anxiety), disturb an entire city (relationship between exposure to lead poisoning and crime), and leave a scar that will last for generations.
No one wants that. Shelter has to be high quality and safe.
With 3D Printing,
Houses in the future will...
- Actually Save Lives
- Provide Children With Security
- Build stronger communities
3D Printing technologies rely on the use of sustainable development materials, not on the size of a developer’s pocket books, to ensure high-quality infrastructure that will prevent lead poisoning and other adverse health effects – finally saving lives.
“… we are on the cutting edge of making housing available for every single American today”…
– Secretary Fudge from the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development on 3D printing.

3D Printing Is the Way To Go
- Significant savings compared to existing construction methods in terms of construction materials, time and costs with the added benefit of sustainability.
- Automation at its finest adding new jobs to the market and empowering younger folks to think big and help build communities with less complexities.
- While guaranteeing the iron core quality and prefabricated panel costs, 3D printing meets all large-scale, sophisticated needs from both local and international markets.
