3D Printing: From Possibility to Practicality - Connected World
For years, 3D printing in construction has been viewed as an emerging technology with enormous potential. The industry celebrated demonstrations and prototype homes, but many questioned whether the technology could scale, satisfy building codes, and become a practical solution for residential development. Today, new trends are beginning to shape the market.
One of the biggest trends is the move from single demonstration projects to entire communities built with robotic construction technologies. Rather than proving a printer can build one home, developers are now focused on creating repeatable, scalable processes that can help address housing shortages while improving efficiency.
As an example, we recently penned an article about the Cleoradevelopment in Salida, Colo., which reflects this evolution. The 55-acre community is designed to incorporate construction robotics and 3D printing across dozens of homes while also serving as a workforce development hub through its partnership with Colorado Mountain College. It demonstrates...
