over the next five years, the city of eindhoven will see the first 3D-printed concrete houses built in the area of meerhoven. with a design based on erratic blocks in a green landscape, the irregularly shaped structures take full advantage of 3D-printing’s ability to construct almost any shape.
project milestone is a world’s first, as the houses will all be occupied, and counts the municipality of eindhoven, TU/e, contractor van wijnen, real estate manager vesteda, materials company saint gobain-weber beamix and engineering firm witteveen+bos as project partners. the first house will be a single-floor dwelling and it is expected to be ready for occupation mid 2019, while the other four will be multi-story structures and will be completed later on. the concrete structures will be subject to all the regular building regulations and set out to meet the demands of current-day occupants concerning comfort, lay-out, quality and pricing.

Why do everybody say that “these are the first buildings 3Dprinted”? There are already built other concrete constructions in other places.
I can Imagine that these are Dutch first 3D houses that are being printed in Eindhoven, however a small correction is in place the worlds first concrete house has been already built in many places among which are China, Russia etc.
I understand that you would like to have a primeur but please be more precise in your formulation.
Impressive, this will add unrivaled flexibility in form and space. It will transform the build landscape and open the doors to new construction technologies and designs. Creativity boom.
