UK startup 3D QUANTER builds 3D printers for the construction industry to offer fast, affordable, and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional building methods. In the US, Virginia Tech received a USD 1.1 million grant to build affordable housing using 3D concrete printers. Its buildings are insulated with wood fiber and cellulose wadding to enhance energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. The startup prioritizes sustainability by using bio-sourced materials, primarily wood sourced locally from forests near its production workshop. It employs an assembly method by extrusion, where rigid rings are juxtaposed like a boat hull or airplane fuselage to ensure high structural rigidity without extra supporting elements.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
