The Oak Ridge National Laboratory partnered with Clayton Homes last October to work on printing a
3D home.
ORNL gave Clayton the tools (printer) and worked with them
to think outside the box by removing conventional constraints and move housing
into the 21st Century. No corners, no sticks or steel and new
materials.

It is rumored that they have reduced materials in the home
by 40%!
At this time the home is currently under construction. It is
being printed in several large sections and then assembled within the Clayton Homes facility where it will be unveiled
on September 23rd.
The future of home modular building lies in energy
efficiencies and working with the latest technologies to reduce the carbon
footprint of homes, as well as save homeowners money over the long run.
Certainly this integrated platform will act as a springboard
for future concepts within modular home construction and energy conservation.

It certainly won't fit their current price point model when delivered. Can't wait for the code bureaucrats to get their snout in the tent.
