On April 30, local time, a Dutch couple became the new tenants of the country’s first 3D-printed house.

It is understood that this two-room house is located in the city of Eindhoven in the south of the Netherlands, a total of 94 square meters, assembled by 24 3D printed components, the walls of the house can clearly see the 3D printing traces.

For the rent, the couple pays 800 euros (about 6,223 yuan) per month for a six-month lease. According to the previously released 2020 GDP per capita data of European countries, the Netherlands’ GDP per capita in 2020 is $52,248, or about 338,201 yuan.

It is said that this house is the first of five series of Project Millennium. The project was carried out by the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands in collaboration with the local government, real estate developers and building material suppliers.

According to the project, the house “is the world’s first commercial housing project based on 3D concrete printing.” The house was built to be habitable for decades and was designed to look like a boulder in order to blend in with the natural environment.

The house designers say the house is fully compliant with Dutch building standards and say they will print four more in the future.
