Denmark\u2019s COBOD<\/a> International has now 3D-printed the first house in Africa\u2014specifically in Malawi. This is taking place in collaboration with 14Trees, which focuses on building houses, schools, and creating social infrastructure in Africa. 14Trees works to accelerate the production and commercialisation of environmentally and cost-friendly building solutions in Africa, and 3D printing is now a new method in this context. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot only is 3D printing as a construction method both cheaper and faster, it also emits up to 70% less CO2 than traditional construction methods. I am proud that, with Danish AM technology, we are creating sustainable production,\u201d says Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen, Director of Dansk AM Hub:<\/p>\n

\u201cHere we are laying the foundation for exploring and leveraging the opportunities of 3D printing as a construction method, while also cementing that Denmark has enormous potential in both skills and production. There will be massive demand for affordable housing in the coming years, and building materials are a major climate culprit. Here we gain a stronger and more sustainable alternative to conventional concrete construction, and the technology even makes it possible to think more innovatively in the design process.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
