The bedroom inside the BioHome3D looked like any typical bedroom.In November, the University of Maine's Advanced Structures and Composites Center 3D-printed a bio-based tiny home.I toured the unit and was surprised to see it looked like any traditionally built home.
Instead, it's a prototype for ASCC, a project that allowed the center to test its proprietary printing material, the printer, and printing techniques.And the sensor-lined unit is still undergoing testing to see what should be changed in future printing projects.As is the printing material: ASCC is now testing the material's ability to be recycled five times over.Environmentally conscious alternatives don't always have the best reputation for durability .
Looking at the home, it's nearly impossible to tell that it was built in four modules. All of the rooms flowed seamlessly together.And besides the walls that curved into the ceiling and the unique layered texture, this bedroom looked like any typical room.Onto the next room. The bathroom had all of the typical amenities finished with modern matte black detailing reminiscent of the farmhouse aesthetic.
600 square foot is deemed tiny?! What does that make the average London flat? Thimble?
