Azure Printed Homes uses plastic waste to 3D-print its prefab houses, with its smallest studio version starting at $43,000.
The Los Angeles-based startup offers a range of different models, from 120-sq-ft backyard studios to larger versions that include a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. They can be scaled all the way up to 900-sq-ft, with this biggest home including two bedrooms and a laundry room.
Azure Printed Homes’ key selling point is its use of recycled plastic polymers; the business claims it’s the first company to use these as the primary material for 3D-printing a complete structure.
Buyers can customise every aspect of their order using an online configurator, which allows them to select details, including materials for the external panels, wall colour and light placement. The final home takes less than a week to complete at Azure Printed Homes’ factory and just 24 hours to install on site.
