3D printed plastic homes: Azure Printed Homes doubles production capacity

The Californian company Azure Printed Homes is stepping up its production of 3D-printed homes made from recycled plastics. The manufacturer is responding to the growing demand for cost-effective and sustainable housing solutions.

The special feature of the company, which was founded in 2022, is the use of recycled plastic polymers as the main building material. It only takes three to four weeks to build a house. With prices starting at 39,000 dollars per unit, Azure is targeting various customer groups: Landlords, homeowners in need of multi-generational housing and communities in need of temporary housing quickly.

Gene Eidelman, co-founder of Azure, sees current legislation as a key growth driver: “California’s SB 1211 law has allowed the construction of up to eight detached granny apartments per development project.” This is leading to the conversion of production to 24/7 operation.

The use of recycled plastics sets Azure apart from other providers in the market. “Many companies rely on concrete for 3D printing, which contributes directly and indirectly to greenhouse gas emissions,” explains Eidelman. Azure takes a different approach and recycles plastic waste into building material.

In addition to its headquarters in Los Angeles, the company is planning to expand to Colorado. A new production facility is to be built there in 2025. A development project with 100 houses is already being planned in the Denver region.
