Despite the extreme heat and frequent winds in the Las Vegas desert, their teams worked tirelessly over several weeks, using large robotic printer equipment to layer the geopolymer cement to construct the house piece by piece directly on site. There were many challenges along the way, such as cement drying and setting quicker than expected in the hot weather. Adaptations had to be made like modifying cement mixtures. Heavy winds also disrupted prints on some days. However, through ongoing collaboration and adjustments to their process, the companies overcame these hurdles. Finally, they announced the successful completion of the fully 3D-printed house, proving the feasibility of building structures with this innovative method and opening doors to future sustainable housing applications using geopolymer materials.
