PassivDom 3D prints smart homes that run off-grid on solar power

By Denys Krasnikov / July 21, 2017

Imagine being able to buy a house, have it built on any piece of land you have access to, and then moving in — all in one day. The house generates its own power from solar panels on the roof, comes with in-built, off-the-grid sewage and plumbing, has its own climate control system that keeps it at just the right temperature year-round, and it’s built of non-corrosive, recyclable materials guaranteed to last at least 40 years.

On top of all that — many of the parts of the house are created by a 3D printer.
