Affordable housing is a topic that is frequently discussed, and one business in southeast Ontario plans to print the answer.

On Wolfe Island, close to Kingston, new ground is being broken in a number of different ways. The co-founder of the business, Nidus 3D, claims that a massive 3D printer is being utilized, and that this might transform the building industry. Besides, Hugh Roberts stated that this is a first step in trying to take away the waste in our existing building procedures.

In addition, the business believes the printer may help create some structures in less than half the time, and the system is intended to speed up house development. Roberts also stated that they anticipate this kind of building to gain popularity both in Canada and internationally.

Although skilled people are still required, printer operator Chris Marin says they are conscious of the stigma associated with crafts and automation. They still need to deal with a variety of crafts, including carpenters, electricians, and plumbers. All other trades still need to pass through the facilities. He feels that they should not be eliminated but made a part of the more innovative and new age system.

In fact, Marin, a former construction worker, declared that he thinks automation is the way of the future. The Canadian housing issue, in Marin’s opinion, might be resolved with the aid of technology and building.

Former Kingston and The Islands NDP MP, and the other co-founder of the firm, Ian Arthur said that the upcoming endeavor will set even more ground-breaking precedents. With this three-story, multi-unit building, which will be the first in the world to have a 3D-printed basement, and add more housing to Kingston, Arthur said that they are starting another extremely interesting project. This could well be the future of home development, according to several experts.
