A multi-storey, liveable home in suburbia printed with AI powered 3D construction technology will be the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere, with every aspect of the project home-grown in Sydney<\/span> and Melbourne<\/span>.<\/i><\/p>\n

MELBOURNE, Australia<\/span><\/span>, Feb. 11, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — In Melbourne’s<\/span> outer suburbs, a giant robotic crane 3D printer towers over a concrete house being built.<\/p>\n

The robotic crane 3D printer is an unusual sight in a quiet residential street in Melbourne<\/span>, Victoria<\/span>.<\/p>\n

But it’s no ordinary crane, it’s LUYTEN’s cutting-edge PLATYPUS X12 Crane 3D Construction Printer. It is AI powered and is making history by 3D home printing the first multi-storey house in Australia<\/span> and Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n

While previous attempts of using this technology were limited to single storey, standard home prototypes printed in 20-24 degrees Celsius weather conditions, this house started printing during a Melbourne<\/span> summer in 35-42 degrees Celsius heat and frequent storms.<\/p>\n

The house design was optimised to introduce features to push 3D printing potential to the limit, such as printing a lift core, and walls with shapes that serve as noise cancelling using the acoustic principle of diffraction.<\/p>\n

The AI powered printer uses re-enforced-learning algorithms to help ensure the quality of each layer of the print because the concrete layers are not just about aesthetics, it is structural — and the AI software ensures precision construction.<\/p>\n

The multi-story, 350 m2 home will be lived in, by Ahmed Mahil<\/span>, the CEO and Global President of LUYTEN.<\/p>\n

“As the first CEO to live in a 3D printed house, printed by his own company and own company’s manufactured robots, I intend to break the psychological barrier people may have and to smash any doubts in the industry about the future of 3D printed homes,” said Mr Mahil.<\/p>\n

3D printing can help deliver faster homes. LUYTEN’s multi-storey home is expected to be finished in 5 weeks, compared to the usual 8-11 months for a build.<\/p>\n

3D printing is emerging as an innovative solution to Australia’s<\/span> housing crisis, and it’s capturing the attention of the Federal and State governments.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had positive feedback and support from State and Federal governments and late last year we had the Minister for Industry and Science, Hon Ed Husic<\/span>, visit our 3D construction printer robot factory in Melbourne<\/span>,” said Mr Mahil<\/p>\n

LUYTEN are also proud to be working alongside renowned international engineering firm Bollinger + Grohmann<\/a> on the certification of the groundbreaking home ensuring structural integrity, safety, and optimal performance of the printed structure.<\/p>\n

LUYTEN is also collaborating with the University of New South Wales<\/span> ARC Centre for Next-Gen Architectural Manufacturing’s research and design expertise for the design of the home.<\/p>\n

By combining their strengths, the group will be setting a new standard for 3D printed homes.<\/p>\n

About LUYTEN:<\/b><\/p>\n

LUYTEN’s cutting edge 3D printer technology enables builders to transform construction projects that would traditionally take months or years to complete and instead finish them within a number of days.<\/p>\n

The 3D concrete printing revolutionary technology enables 60 percent reduction of construction waste, 70 percent reduction of production time, and 80 percent reduction of labour costs when compared to hands-on construction projects.<\/p>\n
