Houston welcomes the country's first multi-story 3D printed home

Houston welcomes the first 3D printed, multi-level home in the U.S. Builders and researchers say the home will be energy efficient and feature concrete walls with unique curves.

The home will have 4,000 square feet and uniquely layered walls with curved edges. Dr. Hikmat Zerbe with Cive Design and Engineering says 3D printing has become common, but multiple levels add complications.  Joy Addison joined Fox News in 2022 as a multimedia reporter in Houston.

"Going into two stories, we know this increases the gravity load and the weight of the building. So, so far no one has gone for the two-floor building" Dr. Zerbe said.
