At HiveASMBLD, we are pioneers in transforming the construction industry through innovative 3D printing technology. Our mission is to deliver sustainable, efficient, and affordable housing solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern society. By utilizing cutting-edge design and eco-friendly materials, we create homes that are not only structurally sound but also minimize environmental impact.
Our printers feature mobile robotic arm systems to 3d print our homes. This system has been engineered to use our proprietary printing mortars along with our proprietary building systems. Our printers are specifically designed to be portable and require minimal infrastructure to set up and print so we can fulfill the promise of building homes at significant cost savings.
We think that the key to cost savings in 3d printed houses is printing with low cost and locally available materials. We have developed a proprietary cement based mortar that uses local aggregates and a mix of low cost commercially available additives. At the Lumen Villas, we are utilizing our newest low cost geopolymer cement replacement that is carbon neutral and significantly stronger that portland cement. We think it’s going to be a real game changer!
3d printing walls is only one piece of the puzzle in our mission to revolutionize affordable housing. We relentlessly value engineer every aspect of the home. We have architecture and most trades in-house to build quickly and efficiently. We have developed custom solutions for all aspects of 3d printing a house such as our proprietary foamcrete structural insulation, custom built steel reinforcement, and custom column and lintel designs
Hive is currently printing nine 1700-1900 Sq. Ft homes in Marfa, Texas. These homes will be sold at a significant discount to other new construction in the area to address the area’s shortage of quality housing at a reasonable price.
