BioHome3D from wood fibers and bio-resins The University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC) spearheaded building BioHome3D in Orono, Maine, the world’s first 3D-printed house made entirely with bio-based materials such as wood flour, or fine sawdust, mixed with a binder made from corn. Layer by layer, the wooden home was 3D printed using an industrial polymer printer at the ASCC where the was little to no construction waste thanks to the precision of the printing process. The 600-square-foot residential prototype features 3D-printed floors, walls, and roofs from wood fibers and bio-resins, and the house is fully recyclable and highly insulated with 100% wood insulation. images courtesy of the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC) Stepping inside the residence, the warm and inviting sense greets the homeowners from the onset. Earth colors define the visual theme of the prototype with the lush wood encasing nearly the entire surroundings with its hushed-down hue and presence. The 3D-printed wood bonds the walls and the ceilings and forms a sloping curve that shelters the iOS workarounds. It also does not mention any potential drawbacks or criticisms of the product. Additionally, it relies on quotes from the authors of Clicks Technology without providing any alternative sources or perspectives.
