This luxury hotel group, backed by a 'brain trust' of investors including ex-Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is using 3D-printing to build hotels in months rather than years

Habitas is a luxury hotel group that uses 3D-printed technology to speed up the rate of construction of its hotels.

Investors like Uber's former CEO Travis Kalanick and Tinder's cofounder Justin Mateen appear to be making the same bet. The company raised $20 million in its first round of external funding in December. Building hotels using 3D-printing was originally just a means to an end at Habitas, according to Oliver Ripley, the co-founder and CEO of the luxury hotel startup.

But perhaps a more unique element of the hotel is its construction model. Instead of hiring a developer and working with a team of contractors to build their vision, Habitas manufactures and builds its hotels in-house.
