A tour inside a 3D-printed home that took one week to build - Business Insider

just to make up its shortfall in affordable rental units.

The company prints its homes with Light Stone, a material that sets into shape when it's hit by UV light, saving the hassle and wait related to building with concrete and other materials that take days to harden. This also makes it possible to 3D-print a roof, something that is impossible with other building materials. The company's plan is to prove its concept with ADUs, while developing the capacity to eventually print larger, multi-story structures.

The earliest properties that Mighty Buildings have built are only partially 3D-printed, a side effect of building with a novel material and technique. Ruben said that the company is planning to eventually 3D-print entire homes, but will first use panelized construction. Panelization is a technique where portions of a home are fabricated offsite, and then quickly assembled together on site.

In other small homes, the company has added curtains for privacy, but because this building is used as a guest house and pool house, the owners have decided not to use it. While the materials are not the same, the company tried to match the quintessentially Californian decor of the home that the building is nestled next to.

, and that within a week, the building was fully complete. The main delay, Ruben said, was coordinating with electricians and plumbers to finish the installation on site. This compact kitchen was built with its purpose as a pool house or guest house in mind, which is part of why it is so compact.
