Stavropol-based Russian company Smart Build launched an open contest of small architectural forms. The winning project will be brought to life with an in-house developed constructional 3D printer.<\/p>\n

Smart Build operates at a local industrial park called \u201cMaster\u201d, where the company assembles proprietary constructional 3D printers and refines 3D printing techniques. The main demonstrational project would be a three bedroom one-story house with an area of 120 square meters (almost 1300 square feet) that would cost around 4 million Russian rubles (around $52,000). The construction material is supplied by Khabezsky gypsum plant<\/p>\n

The first 3D printed living house in Russia (as well as the first in all post-Soviet countries and Europe as a whole) was built in 2016-2017 by a Yaroslavl-based company \u201cAMT-Specavia\u201d, the most known manufacturer of constructional additive equipment in Russia. The house was printed in parts that were made at the plants and then transported to the construction site.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first building in Russia that was 3D printed on site was built around the same years in Stupino, Moscow oblast. The project was done by Apis Cor, Irkutsk-based manufacturer of constructional 3D printers. The company is currently actively working outside of Russia, their most known project is the two-story building in Dubai, UAE. But both of these buildings are office ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Smart Build is planning to \u2018merge\u2019 these achievements and become the first company that 3D printed a living house with fixed formwork on site in Russia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the progress is going to be gradual. The company planned to release four 3D printers per month by the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022. They were also testing a smaller-sized version designed to produce small architectural shapes. But it\u2019s important to find out what such equipment could print. And this is what the contest participants are going to show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
