The small house designs were required to be between 600 and 800 square feet.<\/p>\n<p>Branch\u2019s C-Fab technology involves 3D printing carbon-fiber-reinforced ABS plastic with a large robotic arm. The resulting formwork can then be covered in more traditional building materials, such as concrete or foam. Instead of the typical completely 3D printed additive technique, C-Fab uses an algorithm to formulate an interior framework for the structure.<\/p>\n<p>WATG\u2019s design, entitled Curve Appeal, will be built at Branch Technology\u2019s lab in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The house is comprised of a curving shell around an open plan. The form of the building also provides a car port. The interior of the house is divided up with class walls and a solid core.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/archpaper.com\/2016\/06\/3d-printed-house-branch-technology\/#gallery-0-slide-0\">http:\/\/archpaper.com\/2016\/06\/3d-printed-house-branch-technol...-0-slide-0<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wishing them luck.
