"I can see what 3D printing is capable of, how fast it can go we can print walls in a day with just a few people to do it,"
"The government keeps saying we need more homes quicker and cheaper, and this technology can do that,"
Linda Reisman invested almost $700,000 in a robotic arm that 3D prints concrete walls layer by layer after receiving high quotes from traditional builders for Muskoka land. The robotic arm can print walls in a day with a small crew, reducing labour and time. Reisman plans to print walls for her own home and hopes to offer printed homes to others to help address Canada’s housing shortage. Government programs and grants have incentivized innovation in housing and 3D printing. The technology still requires trades to install doors, windows, roofs, plumbing, and electrical systems, and widespread adoption remains uncertain.
