  Nice looking example but I doubt it is 3D printed. They have no pictures or any detail at all how it is built and make claims regular ones can’t be made as fast which is not true as I can and do in less total time.
  Great idea building from recycled plastic, let’s see it actually being built.

    No, it’s definitely 3D printed, that part isn’t a issue… Follow all the news report of how the company started, their prototypes, their youtube page, etc.

      They didn’t here or on their website. So show me them building it in detail with a 3D printer finished in 24 hr.

        Like I said, follow all the news reports of how the company started, their prototypes, their youtube page, etc. It’s all there!

        This company has already been in business for awhile, they’re scaling up now and partnering with Oasis to produce 14 3D printed home community project starting this August…

        So in other words you can’t.

    No, in other words I don’t have to, if you’d bothered to look, you’ll find it! Just like you would have to do for just about every other manufacturer on the planet as most of them don’t show all the details of their operation on their website. You might as well doubt cars and other manufacturers too then by that logic.

    Seriously, they’ve got an Instagram page, a youtube page, in addition to their website, there’s been numerous news stories on them, they have photos of the machinery they use and videos showing it working, they’ve had an open house and a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at the new factory in Culver City in front of one of their actual 3D printed structures, they’ve had dot.LA visit the Azure Printed Homes factory for an example of a news outlet that actually toured their facility…

    The CEO has been interviewed and you can ask him any questions on their Instagram page, their website gives many of those links, there’s the fact they’re an officially registered company and have now partnered with other companies like the mentioned partnership with Oasis Developers to produce those 14 3D printed homes…

    So there’s no real question it’s 3D printed, the only thing you can question are their claims on speed, how well the finished product performs, how much of the structure is 3D printed, CNC’ed, their claims of being sustainable, etc. as those take a lot more to prove…

      I looked at every one of those sources, their website links, news and youtube and not one showed it being built, printed. So either give a direct link or you can’t, are lying James.

        Sorry but that’s just false, I never lie. Never confuse disagreeing with me with whether or not the facts are being stated or not.

        Like it or not the fact is the youtube channel shows videos of the machine running and performing a print and the Instagram shows pictures of that machine, with plenty to look at from also their Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook pages as well… Look closely at the structure, there’s larger photos if you look, and you can even tell it was 3D printed!

        Like Eric described in his post on the other 180 Sq Ft product article from this company. 3D prints look like “gook on top of gook.” for the lines of the printed layers and their filament printer leaves that same telltale sign of the print process on the finished product, matching up exactly to what their video showed of the process.

        The news articles confirms they started with one machine and more recently moved to purchase 2 more to increase capacity to catch up with their back orders.

        They’ve had an open house, which means people came and looked at their prototype 3D printed product and had a public opening ceremony, which means people also came to their facility and looked at their setup… Azure Printed Homes is a branch of their original parent company Azure Construction that’s been around since 2019, and it’s sole purpose with this new branch is 3D printing structures. Any regular construction would be done by the parent company and all of that is what can be found from those links…

        While they wouldn’t be able to partner with the Oasis Developer if they weren’t actually doing 3D printing construction as they’re contracted to build 14 homes that are 3D printed!

        Seriously, you’re basically calling them frauds, a company that already has over $3 million in orders and was crowd funded to start, but where’s your proof? They have an actual factory, news outlets have actually looked at it, they’ve shown their machine which is an actual 3D printer scaled for construction use and they’ve shown samples of it operating, they’ve stated the prints use a combination of 60% recycled plastic, fiberglass, and an ultraviolet (UV) stabilizer that offers protection from the sun, which is what you want the mix to be for a plastic structure to last exposed to the elements. The CEO is freely answering questions from anyone interested, the CEO had an over half hour interview with The Belinda Carr Show, the company is officially registered, and they’re not even the only 3D printing company in California producing houses or the first to produce 3D printed homes. So it’s a very real industry now that’s growing fast…

        Your free to be skeptical but you’re being ridiculous to what extent your taking it saying a company, who’s sole purpose is to produce 3D printed structures, isn’t doing exactly that with a factory that basically has nothing else in it but the 3D printer… So there’s no serious question that they’re 3D printing… Again, the only valid questions is their claims on time, sustainability, etc. as those will only be determined from actually testing their product and whether they keep to their predicted time table…

        Oh, and they’re also open to let people visit their factory in Culver City, CA. So you can go see for yourself if still in doubt…

  I would expect a great deal more for $25 grand. That’s only the beginning.
  Other than being of unique design shape, it has very little else going for it. Maybe the goldfish bowl aspect is appealing to some?
  Please re-visit this in a year and report on progress.

    Probably have to re-evaluate your expectations with 3D printed products and how they’re priced. This is a scaled up version of the smaller desktop 3D filament printers that let you print any design you submit to it and it can supposedly finish a print in as little as under 24 hours.

    So the above is only examples of what they can produce and the costs involve convenience, ability to design it just about anyway you wish, speed to produce, and quality of the print and anything they have to do to finish it…

    While they’ve already been producing the above for back yard applications, but more recent is a partnership with Oasis to produce a 14 3D printed home community, starting in August…

  Again, humanity will have to find a method of low-cost housing. I have high hopes for the Geopolymer system of 3-D printing IF the system can utilize HEMP hurds as feedstock supplement or even recycled materials as is being done in China. We HAVE to reduce our waste as well as find someplace where the 140 million north Americans displaced by sea rise THIS CENTURY will be able to survive….As you probably know the Geopolymer system does not use water as a curing agent and should be more effective than traditional HEMPCRETE Having a remote build factory and mobility is probably the only way we will salvage civilization….IMHO
