Up to county to allow 3-D printed housing here | News, Sports, Jobs

Thank you to the writer for making it known to the people of Maui that 3-D house printing can help relieve the problem of restoring about 2,000 homes destroyed by the Lahaina wildfires.

My company, Affordable Homes & Housing LLC, is currently working with a HPU Professor with international experience with 3-D printed housing and if we can get the County of Maui Building Codes Administrators to accept 3-D printed homes that meet all of their requirements, we can start building 3-D printed homes in Lahaina in a matter of days.

Using hemp as building materials for the roofing and other sections of a home not being able to be built by the 3-D printer including the plumbing and electrical elements is also a good idea.

I highly recommend the people of Maui to learn more about 3-D Printing homes to go to www.youtube.com and in the search box put “3D printed houses “and you will see a 60 Minutes report how it is done.

If you want to learn firsthand what our company is doing to get 3D Printed housing on Maui, contact me at normanfranco@hotmail.com. Our company’s website is currently under construction and hopefully will be up and running in a couple of months.

3-D Printing is the opportunity of the future. Besides being used in building home faster and cheaper than conventional ways, it could be a whole new industry for Maui in the area of 3-D printed human organs and components used in artificial intelligence.

It is time that we turn a tragic situation into a positive blessing for the people of Maui. It is now in the hands of our county officials to allow 3-D printed housing to happen on Maui.
