Luxembourg recently welcomed its newest innovation, a 3D printed house, located in the Niederanven commune. This particular project was done by a Czech company, ICE Industrial Services, and showcases the growing role of additive manufacturing in addressing Europe’s current housing challenges.
The house was completed in just over 27 hours, with the complete fabrication taking around ten weeks. The structure measures roughly 56 square meters and includes a living space, kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and even a multipurpose room. Additionally, the house has solar panels installed on its roof alongside battery storage units. The home is designed to be energy sufficient, showcasing a unique sustainable model for future designs.
The house is part of a pilot program and costs around 8 million CZK (approximately 385,000 USD), and has drawn around 20 applications from prospective residents and tenants. The mayor of Niederanven, Fred Ternes, called the project a large step towards finding unique solutions to the country’s housing crisis. This project in particular showcases how technology can be used to reduce labor and construction costs.
