This two bedroom house was built in just 18 hours

KOMPAS.com - One of the advantages of houses made with 3D printing technology is that work is fast and affordable.

Recently, Portuguese property manufacturer, Havelar, has just produced its first 3D printed house which can be completed in just 18 hours. Located in the Greater Porto area of Portugal's second largest city, the two-bedroom residence has an area of 80 square meters.

The house was built using COBOD's BOD2 printer, which is also used to produce Europe's largest 3D printed building. According to COBOD, one housing unit from Havelar can be produced at a price of 1,500 Euros or IDR 26.1 million per square meter.

Of course the price is cheaper compared to house prices in Porto which reach 3,104 Euros or Rp. 53.9 million per square meter. This lower price is largely due to the speed of construction offered by 3D printing technology.

The construction of the house is carried out by a 3D printer which produces a mixture according to the blueprint to build the basic structure of the house. Even though the construction of the frame of the house only took 18 hours, the craftsmen were involved in installing the windows, doors, panels, roof and everything else that was needed.

Including the labor time, the entire project took less than two months to complete.

Havelar's house is a simple one-story residence. The interior is organized around the kitchen and dining area. Apart from the two bedrooms, there is also a living room and bathroom.

Havelar himself hopes to increase production of 3D printed houses and contribute to reducing carbon emissions by using alternative construction materials such as soil and straw.
