3D Printed Houses

 Future of Construction

We all have seen buildings constructed with concrete and cement, whether it's our home, office, shopping malls, corporate buildings, all are constructed with traditional concrete.  But, did you think about printing our house in 3D rather than constructing it with concrete? You might be thinking that I'm joking or what. but yes it's true. Today it is possible because of the 3D Printing houses technology.

The First 3d Printed House ‘Gaia’ Built With Earth


Houses that are designed and built using construction technologies that use the 3D printing method are known as 3D printed homes. 3D printed homes are faster to build and are superior to the traditionally constructed structures in many ways.3D concrete printing technology is used in the construction of thin-walled wall structures that do not require thermal insulation conditions. The corrugated surface of such wall systems is a facing, has a decorative function on both sides, which increases its value. Feeding materials like concrete, sand, and plastics into a massive 3D printer to print homes is a relatively simple and low-cost construction method.

The process of building a 3D-printed house is not just different but a lot quicker than conventional construction. It is built with a focus on reduced build-time, zero-waste construction, and optimized production. To start with, the structure was printed using a special concrete mix through which large-scale 3D structures were made. The concrete mix is a base of ordinary cement which has a lower water-cement ratio. While concrete is the primary material for typical construction projects as well, the energy consumed to mix and transport it is way more than in 3D printing. Such 3D-printed houses are not just economical but also environment-friendly, as the use of local materials eliminates the need to transport concrete over long distances. This technology can enable deep personalization of construction for the ultimate target segment – who is the individual. 3D printing can ensure that affordable, good-quality housing.

Today many 3D printed housing projects are coming and this technology is grabbing people's attention rapidly. Recently a company name  3D printing company WASP 3D has printed a unique concept store in collaboration with Dior. On Dubai’s Jumeirah beach stands a unique Dior installation composed of two circular modules crafted from natural materials, using an exceptional 3D printing system. The innovative spaces of the Dior pop-up store were crafted from natural materials, combining clay, sand, and raw fibers. Using an exceptional 3D printing system designed by WASP to create 3D printed eco-housing from natural materials: the collaborative printing system Crane WASP(A Infinite 3D printer).


Many countries like India, Russia are already started adopting this latest printing technology. According to the World Economic Forum, by 2030, three billion people will need improved housing. That means building 96,000 new homes every day. 3D printing technology can create high-quality homes in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional construction. This 3D house printing will really be going to change the way of construction in the future.

WhatsApp has launched its new feature “View Once” which makes photos and videos disappear once viewed. The most popular messaging app WhatsApp has launched its "view once". This feature will let photos and videos that have been sent disappear once the recipients viewed them. This feature has been updated for giving control of their privacy in the user's hand. Photos and videos that are being shared using the 'View Once' feature will no longer be visible in the chat where they were sent once the recipient exits the media viewer. This new feature will bring more privacy as stated by WhatsApp and will also limit the recipient to save it in the gallery. The sender will also be notified once the shared file will be opened even if the recipient has disabled the read receipt feature. The photo or video sent using the feature will also expire from the chat if it's not opened within 14 days. Once you have updated the latest version then you will get the "View Once...

Thinking of traveling to space for common citizens seems nearly impossible. but with the advancement of space travel in the near future, we might be spending our vacations in space looking at the sun, moons, planets, and other celestial bodies.  The concept of space tourism is one of the most exciting emerging features of human space travel. What is Space Tourism? Space Tourism simply means humans traveling into space for recreational purposes. it offers a paid tour to space by some commercial companies like Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin which are developing spacecraft to take paying travelers beyond the earth's surface.  The first space tourist was US millionaire Dennis Tito, who in 2001 paid $20 million to hitch a ride on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft to visit the international space station and spent eight days there. space tourism covers spaceflights that are sub-orbital(reach lower space but are not powerful enough to enter Earth’s orbit), orbital(achieve orbital velocity ...

An Iconic Innovation Restoring Vision. Eyesight is one of the most important senses of humans. 80% of what we perceive comes through our sense of sight. this enables a human to look around the world, the beauty of the earth, faces of our loved ones, Many of the movements we perform, tasks we complete, and personal interactions we make rely on vision in some way. Have you ever imagine a life without vision. Huuuuuh! feels horrific! There are millions of people who face the loss of their eyesight from degenerative eye diseases. The genetic disorder retinitis pigmentosa alone affects 1 in 4,000 people worldwide. The field of Technology is expanding gradually. Today, there is technology available to offer partial eyesight to people with blindness or low vision. Researchers around the world have been working to cure this with various bionic solutions. Image from Particle Researchers from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia have built a bionic eye that promises to bring back vision wit...
