Earth Printed Houses
Problem: Building houses require unique time, money, and resources even though much of the process is deeply repeatable. While many companies are attempting to 3D print houses, many of them require transporting resources from around the world to be printed. Are there innovations on this model? Is there a way to print houses more sustainably?

Solution: The business would develop technology that takes existing earth and repurposes these natural resources to create houses. The 3D printed house movement is not new, in fact many news organizations like CNBC and The B1M have featured it globally to millions of viewers. Where this business would innovate is by trying to create zero-waste (and zero-import) printed 3D houses.

Just this week, I learned that “Mario Cucinella Architects and Wasp, Italy’s leading 3D printing company, have completed the first house to be 3D-printed from raw earth.” They utilized a process called Tecla (technology and clay) to create eco-sustainable and environmentally friendly production by using local soil.
