Vancouver's LifeTec Construction Company has been committed to developing a better and more efficient home construction process, and they hope to apply the 3D printed housing structure technology to Canadian urban construction for the benefit of mankind.
Located on the Pacific coast of Canada, Vancouver is world-famous for its breathtaking scenery and delicious seafood, which has led to an increase in the population of Vancouver. Along with the housing crisis caused by international real estate investment, more and more people are beginning to worry about housing.
This is exactly what LifeTec wants to help people solve. The company uses a new architectural 3D printing technology called Framecad, which enables faster and more efficient 3D printed steel frames than traditional home construction processes (wood frame).
The Framecad system has been developed in New Zealand and is currently exported to Asia, Europe, Africa and South America. LifeTec brought it to Canada.
Simply put, the technology uses laser-based 3D printing technology to construct custom and modular steel beams and panels. These steels can also be optimized for custom-made housing construction and then transported to the construction site for immediate assembly.
In LifeTec's view, 3D printing technology will bring unprecedented benefits to the Vancouver construction industry:
First, the technology can produce lightweight steel parts that are stronger and more durable than traditional building wood materials;
Second, after the material is manufactured, it takes only a few days to build a housing frame, which greatly shortens the construction period;
Third, reducing labor costs can help fill the current shortage of labor in the construction sector in Vancouver.
Currently, LifeTec has started small-scale private construction projects, including five separate homes. LifeTec hopes to increase its 3D printing capabilities to build larger building structures such as multi-family complexes or medium-sized commercial buildings. Currently, the company has a Framecad 3D printer in an 8,000-square-foot facility in Vancouver, and it hopes to invest in more 3D printing equipment to meet growing construction needs.
