A revolutionary way to build homes is coming to Africa, that could be a potential solution to constructing more affordable houses. Printing houses is faster, cheaper and cuts down on material waste.
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, uses machines to deposit thin layers of plastic, metal, concrete and other materials atop one another, eventually producing three-dimensional objects from the bottom up.
3D technology can deliver cheap, climate-resilient structures in a less time than traditional construction.
It is estimated that 3D construction market could be worth $1.5 billion by 2024
With 3D Technology homes are built faster, cheaper and with less labor
With 3D technology finished products are more resilient to natural disasters.
To help reduce the housing gap, AIHS will be promoting 3D houses with its strategic partners. To this end, there will be a session dedicated to 3D Technology with the support of Lafargeholcim at the 15th edition of AIHS which will hold from 26th to 29th July,2021 at international conference center abuja
