3d Printed Home

www.kickstarter.com
"About 1.6 billion people live in substandard housing and 100 million are homeless. We can solve this problem using 3D Print technology."

These are the words of Fabian Jean-Baptiste (founder of CNSTRCTN International and the UK's first 3D Print Homes industry advocate) who has launched a fundraising campaign on kickstarter to complete a new method to construct buildings that combine industrial production and the technique of rapid prototyping.

This innovative construction method uses the contour crafting technique to make layer by layer an entire building using fast-drying concrete within a day. The project needs £500.000 (637.267€) to purchase all the parts needed to build a state of the art 3D Print Home printer, establish an office in London and start the process of making 3D Print Homes.
