Detroit’s east side home to Michigan’s first 3D-printed house

DETROIT – Michigan’s first 3D-printed house is under construction on Detroit’s east side.

The elements were printed in Corktown by Citizen Robotics, a nonprofit looking for innovative and cost-effective ways to build homes.

Fernando Bales, the build lab manager at Citizen Robotics, took Christy McDonald on a tour of what could be the construction of the future.

Not everything in the home is 3D-printed. There is drywall, framing and electrical installed traditionally.

The house is expected to be completed near the end of 2023.
