Build a house in 20 hours with a 3D printer

The recently developed technology called 3D printer has surprised us with many tangible items like pen holders,  iPhone cases, and even guns that can actually shoot. You think gun is big? Imagine a whole house. The idea of making a house with a 3D printer was initiated by Professor Behrock Khoshnevis and they tested that it can be done in 20 hours. He got this idea from his perspective on ghetto villages that have poorly constructed make shift corrugated iron shack and believes having a better shelter will improve the society.

The houses built using a 3D printer will cost 25% less than traditional houses and will reduce the labour costs at the same time. It uses a mixture of concrete and fibre polymers making it much more stronger than the materials used in most houses today. If your current house can handle 3,000 pounds per square inch of pressure, the houses made with this 3D printer will be able to handle 10,000. Also, the fact that a house can be built in 20 hours is another great factor to consider. Professor Behrock Khoshnevis did mention that you can design a house however you want with this 3D printing technology. You can have those dream house you wanted from when you were a kid (slides coming down from your room to the kitchen or a mysterious house with like trap doors to pull a prank on your friends).
