Dune Build & Oasis Build
3D printed houses sound like something from a tech demo, but Ash is building them here in Australia right now.
In this episode we get into how the printing process actually works on site, what it costs compared to a traditional build, the regulatory and certification hurdles, and where the technology realistically sits today versus the hype. We also talk about what it took to get a business like this off the ground, and what Ash reckons the next five years look like for residential construction.
