ROUND TOP – Round Top residents are getting the first look at 3D-printed homes created by HIVE 3D Builders and Eco Material Technologies.
The Casitas at The Halles construction will use Hive 3D’s PozzoCEM Vite cement replacement material, which creates 92 percent fewer emissions than traditional cement. PozzoCEM Vite also sets in a matter of minutes, rather than standard cement’s drying time of one to two days.
Additionally, Hive 3D and Eco Materials collaborated to develop a new way to mix their materials with specially modified commercial mixing equipment, further reducing production costs.
Homes will start at 400 sf and be configured with studio, single-bedroom, or two-bedroom floor plans.
