HOME sweet HOME.

Eco Material Technologies, based in South Jordan, Utah, has partnered with Houston-based Hive3D to 3D print sustainable houses in Texas. The houses are made from a green cement product called PozzoCEM Vite, which significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional cement. The 3D printer used features a robot arm on a crawler system and can print houses in four sections, with each section taking about three hours to print. The houses are designed with curved and rounded exterior walls for stability in high winds and are pest resistant and fireproof. The walls are filled with foamed concrete for insulation and additional structure. Eco Material is also working on finding alternative sources of fly ash, a key ingredient in their green cement, as coal-fueled power plants are being replaced with other energy sources.
