The DUS Architects used sustainable bio-plastic to make the 3D Print Urban Cabin, which is intended to show how additive manufacturing can offer solutions for temporary housing or disaster relief. And, when the cabin is no longer needed, it can be destroyed and almost all the materials can be reused.
“The building is a research into compact and sustainable dwelling solutions in urban environments,”explains the team.

“3D printing techniques can be used particularly well for small temporary dwellings or in disaster areas,” they said.
“After use, the bio print material can be shredded entirely and re-printed into new designs.”

This Amsterdam-based architecture studio is now in the final stages of a project to build a full-size 3D-printed canal house. This small project offers an insight into what that structure will look like.

Placed in a former industrial area, the tiny gabled cabin contains just 25 cubic metres of area – far less than the average micro home. All of these surfaces are black, thanks to the bio-based 3D-printing filament – a product with linseed oil as its main component, which the architects have been developing with major consumer manufacturing company Henkel.

This technique uses fused deposition modelling, the same form of additive manufacturing used by most household 3D printers.
The cabin is only available for short-term lets!
