3D printing technology deployed to build affordable housing and schools in Malawi
14Trees, a joint venture between Swiss building materials company LafargeHolcim and UK development financier CDC Group, is deploying 3D printing technology to build affordable and low-carbon housing and schools in Malawi.
With its record speed of construction and optimised material use, this technology reduces the carbon footprint for building new homes by up to 70%. Pioneering this technology in schools for the first time, 14Trees aims to address the country’s chronic infrastructure shortage while creating skilled local jobs.
