Welcome to the 3D Milestone in Bosrijk, located in the bustling Meerhoven district! Here is a house that turns the construction world upside down. This special example was not built according to traditional methods, but is the very first 3D printed house in the world. A major first! Made of cement, built up layer by layer by an innovative printer, this house is a technological tour de force that pushes the boundaries of architecture. From the outside, it looks like a nod to the iconic homes from the cartoon series ‘The Flintstones’, but once inside, you step into a world of cutting-edge design.
The unveiling of this unique structure not only attracted the attention of domestic media, but also international press, including even The Guardian, paid attention to it. With a robotic arm that printed cement 24/7, the house was formed layer by layer. An impressive feat of technology in which eight different hollow elements were printed and later filled with insulation material.
However, this house only marks the beginning of a much larger revolution. With four other homes already planned, each with multiple floors, the goal is to print these homes on site. This pioneering way of building not only drastically reduces the use of materials, but also environmental pollution. In addition, new homes can be built within five days, which means that the construction industry is undergoing a rapid transformation. The future of housing starts here, with the 3D Milestone.
