For the first time, houses constructed using 3D printing technology appeared in the real estate market.
On the 29th of last month in local time, foreign media such as Gizmodo, a US science and technology media, reported that a house in Riverhead, New York built by 3D printing technology company SQ4D, was for sale.
According to the US real estate trading site'Zillow', the home is a 130m2 single-story house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
There is also a separate garage for 2 vehicles.
The sale price of this home was $2999,999 (approximately 330 million won), which was more than 50% lower than similar-sized homes recently built in Riverhead.
SQ4D explained that the 3D printing technology has significantly reduced construction time and cost, making it price competitive.
Earlier in 2020, SQ4D received attention by revealing the process of completing a house with an area of about 176 square meters in just 8 days, of which the actual 3D printing time was only 48 hours, and the construction material cost was 6,000 dollars (about 6.7 million won). It is known that it has not been left.
Homes'printed out' with 3D printers are known to be inexpensive, sturdy and consume less energy than conventional buildings.
"This house, made of eco-friendly concrete, is more durable and saves energy in the long run," said real estate agent Stephen King.
"The world's first 3D-printed home to be sold is the first step in solving the housing crisis in New York," said Mr. King. "Like Ford's universalization of automobiles, 3D printing technology will lead a new world where anyone can have a home." I rate it.
