Printera, in collaboration with a local 3DCP Distributor, achieved a historic milestone by constructing the inaugural 3D printed home in Florida. Nestled within Tallahassee, situated in the state's lowest-income zip code, this residence symbolizes a pivotal step in the broader affordable housing movement. Spanning 1580 square feet, boasting 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, this home defied convention by completing printing of both exterior and interior walls in a mere 32 hours, with an additional six days on-site due to site constraints limiting the printer's size. Ingeniously addressing this challenge, instead of compromising the house's size, we devised an innovative method: printing prefabricated parts for the front walls within the front bedroom and moving them into place post-printing. This breakthrough laid the groundwork for our exploration into prefabricated 3DCP. Further showcasing the printer's versatility, we embarked on crafting a parametrically designed entry wall, now affectionately termed the "wavy wall" by the client. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this distinctive design amplifies structural robustness and enhances thermal comfort, exemplifying the marriage of form and function. Beyond its significance as Florida's pioneering 3D printed home, this project served as a catalyst for invaluable learnings, driving our commitment to implement these innovations across future endeavors. The home was listed for sale in November 2022 at $250,000 and successfully sold in December of the same year.
