In the past few months, Nantes’ 3D printing house has attracted a lot of attention because the house is not only related to printers, but also Because it started to end so fast construction (54 hours printing, then wasting some time to add windows and roofs.) The humorous engineer said it took some time to add roofs and windows.
The machine printer works from the floor up to the wall. The beautiful pattern of the five room circular walls displayed in the video is the work of the machine.
Now the latest news about the world's first family to live in a 3D printing house, now home to the Ramdani family, consisting of two parents and their three children, enjoys a comfortable stay in a four-bedroom house in Nantes, France. life.
The innovator behind this is project leader Benoit Furet (a professor at Nantes University). In the BBC report, Furet discussed the cost of the design.
Michael Cowan of the BBC (citing the figures from Furet) said: 'He believes that within five years, they will be able to reduce the cost of building such homes by 25% while complying with building codes, and reduce costs by 40% even in 10 to 15 years. . '
By reducing the cost of 3D printing by improving the technology, one can expect to achieve a certain economic scale with the construction of more houses.
This 1,022-square-foot home is built on a curve (built around the edge of a 100-year-old protected tree.) Cowan writes, which means that 3D printing is a key advantage in the building sector, richer The house shape scheme provides architects with creative design conditions that allow them to think outside the 'box' in straight walls and square rooms with traditional structures.
The restrictions in today's homes are particularly evident in traditional public housing, where the unit's housing looks more like a closed prison cell (with windows removed, blocking the interaction between the interior and the natural outdoor environment).
The person in charge of the project said that 3D printing provides a richer solution to the shape of the house, providing architects with more interesting possibilities (in cooperation with the use of straight walls).
The house curve is not only pleasing to the eye, but also has a practical advantage, Cowan said: 'The curve also improves the family's air circulation, reducing potential humidity and improving thermal resistance.'
Mashable brings a particularly good video that can provide a person's visual effects (a design and function display of a family of five).
The BBC introduced the 3D building process to the reader: a team of architects and scientists designed an idea and programmed it into a 3D printer, then printed it out and implemented the idea in a real house.
Work starts and prints up from the floor. 'Each wall consists of two layers of insulating polyurethane with a space in the middle filled with cement. ' The walls are thick and insulated, then the windows, doors and roof are installed.
The house has an IoT system, as shown in the Mashable video, where residents can control room temperature and other functions via a tablet.
The 3D printing house is a joint project between the City Council, the Housing Association and Nantes University. From the perspective of urban planning, the government is interested in knowing whether the same housing principle can be applied to other public buildings, such as stadiums. Can these efforts affect the transformation of the construction industry?
Time will tell. According to reports, Fouret is carrying out a project in the north of Paris, printing 18 houses and a commercial building.
