<p>"For starters, as mentioned above, the house is built entirely from
material taken from the local terrain. You’re probably thinking, ok,
sure, I guess you can build a house from “local terrain” if that terrain
happens to be durable, moldable, non-toxic clay, and you live in an
area that’s not too hot, not too cold, and not too rainy.</p>
<p>But <a href="https://www.3dwasp.com/en/3d-printed-house-tecla/">according to</a>
the project’s creators, the house and its source materials are
“adaptable to any climate and context.” WASP is even selling what it
calls a <a href="https://www.3dwasp.com/?page_id=19347">Maker Economy Starter Kit</a>;
it consists of four 3D printers and a system for picking, mixing, and
pumping local materials to print with. The company hopes its technology
will be used to facilitate housing projects in remote areas.</p>
<p>Unlike other projects that use one printer on rails, this structure
employs two printers working simultaneously. Printing a TECLA house
takes 200 hours and uses 7,000 computer codes. The printed layers are 12
millimeters thick, and you need 350 of them total. The volume of
“natural materials” required is listed as 60 cubic meters, and the
energy consumed in the building process is a mere 6 kilowatts."</p><p><a href="https://singularityhub.com/2021/02/03/this-hive-like-house-is-3d-printed-carbon-neutral-and-made-of-clay/">https://singularityhub.com/2021/02/03/this-hive-like-house-is-3d-printed-carbon-neutral-and-made-of-clay/</a> <br></p>
