I’ve seen a lot of 3D-printed houses that are billed as a way to reduce construction waste, but only one that’s designed to be recyclable.
Researchers from the University of Maine have developed a process for making 100% bio-based 3D-printed homes. So far, they’ve made a 600-square-foot prototype located on a foundation near the university’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center.
The prototype BioHome 3D.

The prototype was printed offsite in four modules, transported and put together in just half a day. This prototype will be monitored through the Maine winter, measuring temperature, environmental and structural performance, providing data that will be used to inform future designs.
