Mighty Buildings can crank out the structure of a 350-square-foot studio in 24 hours.
Extreme Home Makeover, however, has developed a proprietary 3D-printing technology and material that will let it create the curved shell of a 350-square-foot home in roughly 24 hours.The secret ingredient in Mighty’s process is a proprietary synthetic substance called Light Stone Material that hardens when it’s exposed to UV light. It’s strong enough to support its own weight when printing horizontal lines, which simplifies the process of printing solid structures out of it.
Inside the walls, a structural pattern is lined with foam, which improves heat retention beyond what you’d get from typical wood walls with foam or fiberglass insulation. Company co-founder and chief sustainability officer Sam Ruben points out that kind of heat retention is important when trying to meet rigorous environmental standards, especially in California.
For now, Mighty is only offering structures in California, but Ruben tells me that it’s planning to expand into other other areas of the country, even those with weather much more extreme than in the Golden State. In fact, Ruben says Mighty’s synthetic material is hydrophobic and less susceptible to changes in temperature, which gives it an advantage over other 3D printed structures that use more traditional concrete materials.
There are some aspects you can customize, like color and wall texture, but most elements are locked in place to keep the production process as efficient as possible. They also come with in-unit laundry.
