What is our motivation?

More than 1.1 billion people in the world are considered homeless according to the UN.

Governments want to help, but their budget is limited, so they need to build social housing with a low budget in order to increase the volume of housing, which must be affordable housing and only for a tiny part of the homeless population.

The current commercial models for building houses maximize the profit of the construction company instead of the number of satisfied customers.

This calls for new, more economical and sustainable construction solutions.

3D printing technology has already established itself as a real alternative to address these challenges. To use 3D printers the materiality, mortar, needs to have particular properties, some of which must be adapted to the technology of the equipment but others which are general.

There is currently no mortar or additive on the market that can be used and validated in 3D printed construction solutions that resist earthquakes.

Considering the diversity of environmental conditions that exist in Chile (including its earthquakes), this makes Chile a natural laboratory to identify valid solutions for all climates of the world and earthquake conditions.

This will allow us to develop a universal solution as much as possible. Allowing to reduce frequent problems in countries that need to solve a housing deficit due to various origins such as an emergency (earthquakes, health, migration, war, among others).
