Can a Home Be Built for $4000?


HOW I SERVE

Great People Innovating, Inventing, and Doing Great Things


I search for emerging companies, technologies, disruptive technologies, innovations, start-ups and up-starts. I’ll look to match potential problems - e.g. “plastic pollution” to solutions e.g. "3D Printer for recycled plastic waste" - for venture capitalists, angel investors, and online funders. I’ll also highlight a variety of topics including funding success stories, the environment, housing, artificial intelligence, science, medical, aging populations, disabled populations, social entrepreneurs, philanthropy, and topical news. I’m always searching for great people innovating, inventing, and doing great things. 
  

 Can a Home Be Built for $4000?




“3D Home Printing For The Developing World"

"We (New Story) have worked with our partner, ICON, to build a 3D printer specifically for the developing world and have successfully printed the first home. In El Salvador for the first community, this innovation will mean:

$4,000 for one home
12-24 hours to print the home
Better quality for families

One billion people live without a basic human need: shelter. Linear improvements will never reach this market. We need a quantum leap in affordability, speed, and quality to reach families exponentially faster.

Our goal is to print homes in El Salvador in 2018 and finish the community of homes in 2019. Then democratize the technology to other non-profits and governments to scale around the world.”

I don’t endorse. Only disseminate (Opinions are my Own).

My Opinion: Could this be scaled in the United States to reduce homelessness and the unaffordability of homes for people who earn a decent wage?
