Dutch architects to build world’s first 3D printed house

Appearances can be deceiving.

According to DUS Architects, the Dutch company behind the project, these innocuous black objects are stage one of what will eventually be the world’s first 3D printed house.

It is made using a “KamerMaker” machine, a giant, custom-made version of a desktop 3D printer that produces a material 10 times thicker than normal.

The finished structure will take the shape of a 13-room canal house made from scores of separate but interlocking components (like the three currently on show).

“I don’t think we’ll print all homes through 3D printing in future but I think it can be an additional, valuable tool to what we already use,” de Wit said.
