In our text message interview, Sam Ruben, Co-Founder and Chief Sustainability Officer at Mighty Buildings, explains how they are solving the housing crisis with houses that are entirely 3D-printed.

Mighty Buildings strives to make homes more affordable by automating up to 80% of the entire construction process. Compared to an average house in California, their homes cost as much as 45% less. With their innovative material they can print a 350 square foot house in just 24 hours, which also answers construction’s labor shortage. Building the “Mighty way” also has environmental advantages. They use a single material, waste is prevented as channels for plumbing and electrical are printed and are able to produce energy-efficient forms of a house. Lower costs, scalable material and environmental benefits. That’s what we love about Mighty Buildings.
