Building expo exhibitors eye future with 3D printing, recycled housing options

Michael Woods

3D printing could soon be the new norm in the construction of local homes, saving builders time and money while offering higher quality, according to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Black Buffalo 3D, Michael Woods.

“This is a real credible technology now that is overtaking many of the traditional ways of doing construction,” Woods told Sunday Stabroek in an interview at International Building Expo on Friday.

The New York-based Black Buffalo 3D is one of the prime exhibitors at the ongoing International Building Expo at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence. Over the course of the three-day event, it will utilise its commercial-grade 3D printer to build a 600-square ft home–the first 3D printed house to be created here.
