3D-Printed Home For Under $4,000

Posted on Updated on

A family in France has become the first in the world to move into a 3D-printed house. The family just moved into a 3D-printed home . The house cost just $207,000, or £176,000 and took just 54 hours to build, plus another four months to add windows, doors and a roof. “For 2,000 years there hasn’t been a change in the paradigm of the construction process.

For many of these families, for years, sometimes even a lifetime, they don’t have that opportunity to have a safe shelter. So when they move into a New Story community, when they move into a safe home, families lives are transformed”.
