Cave-inspired 3D printed Japanese home touted as earthquake resistant — two-story house first of its kind to be granted seismic compliance certificate

A two-story 3D printed home in Japan has received a seismic compliance certificate, marking a significant achievement in earthquake-resistant construction. The house, built using COBOD's 3DCP system, showcases the potential of 3D construction printing in meeting strict regulatory standards. The project, executed by Kizuki Co., Ltd in collaboration with Onocom, demonstrates the technology's ability to handle complex designs and structural requirements. The innovative construction method eliminates the need for traditional formwork, reduces costs, and offers design flexibility while ensuring consistent quality and strength. Additionally, the project highlighted the adaptability of 3DCP to varying weather conditions, further validating its potential for future construction projects.
