In an ambitious step toward reimagining modern home construction, the University of Maine is scaling up its pioneering BioHome technology to print an entire neighborhood of homes.

Key Highlights

  • Institution: The University of Maine (UMaine)
  • Core Initiative: Scaling BioHome manufacturing technology
  • Project Scope: Constructing a neighborhood of 3D-printed homes

Scaling BioHome Technology

The University of Maine has pushed the boundaries of additive manufacturing with its BioHome initiative. Moving beyond single experimental prototypes, the university is now focusing on scaling this proprietary technology to produce complete residential communities.

Building Neighborhoods with Advanced Manufacturing

Transitioning from proof-of-concept structures to an entire neighborhood demonstrates significant progress in additive manufacturing. By scaling production, UMaine aims to demonstrate how 3D-printed housing solutions can address residential building demands while advancing sustainable, bio-based materials in modern construction.
