3D PRINTED HOUSES IN USA

3D Printed Houses, which have been talked about for a long time, have become real. 3D Printed has come a long way to this point, it has evolved. It started with the discovery of SLA in 1984. 3D Printed Houses are seen as the industry of the future thanks to its many advantages. In fact, we have started to experience this future exactly. Two companies in the US have completed their work for this construction and even put their homes for sale.

3D Printed structures are made using a special cement mixture that is thicker than concrete, they do not need extra beams. This self-supporting feature paves the way for new construction methods. At the same time, architects and contractors save on materials and production costs thanks to the methods they use. According to calculations, it allows the construction to save 80%. Therefore, 3D Printed Houses are less costly. 3D Printed houses, which can also be produced using wastes and recyclable materials, are environmentally friendly by generating little waste. It also provides endless possibilities for architects for complex building designs. Completes complex structures with much less cost with 3D Printed. In addition to all these, it also saves time. Under normal circumstances, it completes in a much shorter time than the construction period of construction. It will be the best option in emergency situations. It is safer on job security.

Everything about 3D Printed homes looks positive. Well, if you ask if there are negative points in this incident, my answer is: yes, there are. First of all, you can only use concrete and plastic materials as construction materials. It does not allow wood or other materials. In addition, the municipalities and the government do not have a specific building code on this issue. 3D Printed houses were built in many parts of America and the projects continue. Interest in this subject is increasing day by day. Whereas a few years ago people were looking anxious and curious about it, now these homes are on sale in Long Island, NYC, and Austin, Texas.

Featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two garages, this 3D Printed House is worth $ 300K. The ARCS technology was first announced in 2018. It was developed not only for house construction but also for large-scale designs such as roads and bridges.

Changeable Clothes Collection: Survivalist

Emi Tanimura presents the 2020 alumni collection, called ‘Survivalist’, functional and transformable outerwear. Emi’s aim is a comfortable and useful design to adapt to harsh conditions and changing conditions.

She is inspired by explorers, campers, displaced communities, and their own experiences of homelessness. She also mentions about the importance of using fashion as a way to raise awareness of social problems.

The source of inspiration in the emergence of these designs is herself. She designed these products based on the difficulties she went through. The main reason for the emergence of this design is due to the burden of carrying it when it is hot outside and wants to remove the jacket.

Look 1, “Bomber Bag”. The main reason for the emergence of this design is the carrying load of the jacket after removing it. Since it was uncomfortable to carry the jacket on your arm after the weather warmed, it made the jacket turn into a bag form. This jacket that can be used as a backpack has a heat lining to keep warm. It has 7 different compartments and is made of breathable, windproof, and waterproof material. It has a protective coating against UV rays.

Look 2, “Tent Trench”. Emi designed this product to serve as a temporary shelter in emergencies. This trench coat that instantly transforms into a tent is simple and easy to install. It can separate the lower part of the jacket from the jacket and turn into a single tent thanks to the inflatable poles.
