3D Printing Housing Hack

As the global leader in building materials and solutions, LafargeHolcim is taking construction innovation to new heights once more. Collaborating with the industry's best and brightest student teams, LafargeHolcim is hosting a multiphase hackathon that will challenge participants to revolutionize concrete materials through 3D printing: the 3DP Housing Hack! 

Participants will craft solutions for mid-rise residential (G+1) buildings utilizing 3D printing to bring their working prototype(s) to life. 

Each submission should address the following:

• improved speed of construction,
• optimization of material use as well as enhanced aesthetics and customization potential.

The hackathon comprises two main events including online ideation in November followed by final demos in March. A jury panel will review all prototype submissions, and finalists will be invited to attend the live demonstrations at the LafargeHolcim Innovation Center in Lyon.
