Social housing built with 3D printing technology in France

Researchers at the University of Nantes (France) claim that for the first time in the world, a social house has been built with a 3D printing technology called BatiPrint3D.

This is not a test apartment. The house with the shape of Y meets the criteria of a social housing project.

Expected, the first owners of this unique project will be able to return in June.

Professor Benoit Furet, a member of the research team, stressed that 3D printing technology will be the future of construction."Thanks to robots, we can create walls with complex shapes," Furet said.

According to Reuters news agency on April 10, BatiPrint3D robot only takes about 18 days to build the complete block of the building, with the creation of hollow walls in the heart. These walls will be concreted in a separate stage.

Using a special polymer printing material, the researchers confirmed that the completed work will be durable for at least a century.

Authorities said the house built on an area of ​​95 m2, including 5 rooms will be reserved for a household in the area.

Notably, this house is also equipped with a variety of sensors, which measure air quality, humidity and temperature, as well as equipment for evaluating and analyzing the thermal properties of buildings. this.

In fact, this is not the first residential building built with 3D technology in the world.

A number of similar and iconic architectures for technological innovation have also been built using 3D printing technology in China or the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

However, the process of building these works is quite complicated. People have to build walls with 3D printing technology in one place and then move to another place to assemble instead of building in place like a French apartment.

The old way of doing things also created apartments with simple shapes.

Researchers believe that 3D printing technology can help homeowners save energy costs. Therefore, the city of Nantes is planning to implement many construction projects with this special technology.
