Amazing stuff! I am afraid government regulations in many Western countries would not allow to build such a home. Hopefully, change is coming!
Looks like 3D printed home construction is taking hold in Kazakhstan of all places!
Key points:
"
- BM Partners [a first of its kind 3D construction printing company in Kazakhstan] completes Central Asia's first 3D printed house in Almaty, Kazakhstan, adhering to strict seismic regulations.
- Using extra strong concrete normally used for highly loaded structures like skyscrapers and bridges, and other seismic precautions, the house is made to withstand earthquakes of 7 on the Richter scale.
- The entire building, featuring 100 m2 (1076 SF), was constructed in less than two months, with the walls printed in just five days.
- To cope with the extreme temperature variations in Kazakhstan the building also contains expanded polystyrene concrete for insulation.

"... Marat Oshakhtiev, CEO of BM Partners [founded 2022], shared the vision driving the project: “Embracing modern technologies is essential in today's world. Our company is committed to staying at the forefront of technological advancements with 3D construction printing within our country. With this project, our company has confidently stepped into the future, addressing Kazakhstan’s urgent need for earthquake resistant modernized, efficient and resilient housing solutions“. ..."
