The Ultra-Strong Villa is in Construction Sector’s Spotlight – Carrying out many successful projects in industrial segment, 3D technologies are commonly used in construction sector as well. As a matter of fact, 3D printing can become the new building method in near future. The fact that an architecture company in China made 3D printed villa, gives us the first signals.

China has been at the forefront of construction 3D printing since 2014, when the Shanghai-based company WinSun made headlines all over the internet for building not one, but ten 3D printed houses in less than 24 hours. But they are not the only concrete 3D printing pioneers that can be found in China, as Beijing HuaShang Tengda Industry and Trade has emerged as a challenger. As part of a truly remarkable building project, HuaShang Tengda has just 3D printed an exquisite 400 m2 villa in just 45 days. Most impressive of all, the structure was completely manufactured on-site, rather than in separate parts in a factory.

The ambitious HuaShang Tenda company printed the house using 20 tons of strong but inexpensive concrete; although they say that any type of cement could be utilized in their process. The walls are up to eight feet thick, and once they were printed workers painted and decorated the house. According to HuaShang Tenda; “3D will have immeasurable social benefits. Because of its speed, low cost, simple and environmentally friendly raw materials, [it can] generally improve the quality of people’s lives.”

The company envisions their technology being used to build everything; from homes for farmers in rural areas to high-rise buildings to houses in developing countries. They believe the new technology could spark a revolution in the housing industry; as their 3D-printed homes can be built faster, and for less money than traditional dwellings.
