Azure Printed Homes

The world faces a drastic housing shortage. The U.S. alone currently needs more than five million new housing units, and that number is growing daily.

Traditional construction methods are slow and unsustainable, and are contributing to the growing shortage. One solution might be 3D-printed homes.

That’s the approach taken by Azure Printed Homes. This startup is targeting the construction industry by printing three-dimensional homes made from recycled materials. Its manufacturing process is seventy percent faster, and thirty percent less expensive than existing methods.

Azure offers prefabricated studios, and will soon offer accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and homes. Studio units can be printed in one day, and delivered/installed within a week. The company’s 14,000-square-foot factory can produce three units a day.

Sales are soaring. In 2021, revenue increased 265% over 2020. And sales grew another 175% in 2022. Last year, Azure brought in more than four million dollars in revenue.
