Startup 3D printing starts construction project
As an interesting alternative to the housing problems that affect different parts of Brazil, a national startup sees in 3D printing an alternative to improve - or soften - this situation.InovaHouse3D has just announced a project in the area of ​​civil construction for the printing of houses in microconcreto of manufacture. Given as a challenge, the main difficulty today is to print an entire wall that way. So far, the machine that the company has the ability to reproduce only decorative items, can help in the civil construction, but to build a whole house it is necessary that the machine, currently two meters high, is increased.There is not yet an estimate of how much would cost a reformulation of this type, but it is already proven by the company that the technology already has the potential to be 20% less costly than traditional civil construction and in the medium term can reduce costs by up to 40% .There are still obstacles to the novelty, such as the competitiveness of American companies and the safety of these houses, since they have not yet been commercialized, but still the startup seems to have great chances in the national territory and intends to make possible the impression of a complete house until 2019.
