This amazing story happened in the USA, but it is definitely a lesson for the whole world. April Stringfield is raising her 13-year-old son. He works in three different places to support himself and his son. One of them is the organization Habitat for Humanity. After working 300 hours as a volunteer, she was qualified to receive a home of her own.

What does a printed house look like?

It’s really hard to say at first glance that the house we see in the attached video has been printed. The building does not differ at all from those made of wood or concrete. A significant difference, however, is evident in the time it was made. Printing exterior and interior walls of a house with an area of ​​111 sq m. it only took 12 hours. As Habitat for Humanity says, this cut standard construction time by about four weeks.

What rooms are in the building? The new house has three bedrooms and two. It cannot be denied that for April such a house is a dream come true.

It should be added that although the house is printed in a 3D printer, other materials, including concrete, were also used for its construction. By the way, this significantly reduced the costs of the entire project, and the house became more resistant to external factors such as tornadoes or hurricanes. Usually, houses in the United States are built of wood, but prices of this raw material have increased by 50% since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The single mother spent Christmas in her new home

April Stringfield, a few days before Christmas, solemnly cut the ribbon and received the keys to her own house. During the report on Facebook, Habitat for Humanity said:

My son and I are very grateful. I’ve always wanted my home. It’s like a dream come true.

There is no denying that this story could be the beginning of something amazing. Printing houses can be a cheaper alternative to building well-known houses.
