Can 3D-printed homes solve California’s housing crisis?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:25:48 GMT

Homes now rising from a dusty subdivision in Desert Hot Springs may be at the forefront of future homebuilding.Unlike the dozens of houses surrounding this 20-home development on the east side of town, these houses aren’t made from wood and stucco.They’re “3D-printed” at a Mexican factory, using a huge robotic arm to layer recycled glass into sturdy wall panels that are assembled like Lego blocks at the home site.Proponents say 3D printing can produce homes faster and potentially cheaper than traditional construction. Since they can use recycled materials, they’re more eco-friendly and generate less waste.The process, 3D developers say, could be one solution to the housing crisis.“There is no way in 10 years we’ll be able to be building like we are today,” Chris Murphy, chief strategy officer for Oakland-based Mighty Buildings, which produces the houses for the Desert Hot Springs developer, Palari Group of Beverly Hills.“Even if we didn’t have a massive shortage on the supply side, ...
