X-Hab 3D Projects – Innovation in Construction and Concrete

X-Hab 3D concrete printing systems save labor time and investment, minimize material waste and cost, and reduce job-site injuries. How will you use your X-Hab 3D system?

How Do 3D Printers Unlock Innovation in Construction?

X-Hab 3D's strategy is straightforward: Develop a compact, mobile, semi-autonomous expeditionary 3D concrete printing system capable of performing reliably and accurately. Our solution targets the most remote and difficult environments on the planet, such as Nome, Alaska. Our belief is simple: If it can excel under these conditions, it's more than capable for construction companies that operate in less hostile urban and rural areas worldwide.

With a focus on durability, versatility, and high-performance technology, X-Hab 3D is redefining what's possible in construction. 

How do 3D printers unlock innovation in construction? We answer this by pushing limits and providing a reliable solution that transforms construction processes and sets a new industry standard.

Mid Print Nome

Nome, AK Home

The First Sub-Arctic 3D-Printed Home

This project was the first ever completed under true sub-arctic field conditions in the Americas. It involved printing a 1,500-sq-ft home in Nome, Alaska, on the outskirts of the Arctic Circle using the MX3DP mobile system configured for extreme cold. This proved that X-Hab 3D’s mobile, self-powered robotic-arm 3D concrete printing system can operate in one of the harshest construction environments in North America while validating remote logistics, cold-weather materials, and extreme-climate build workflows.

Boalsburg, PA Home

Pennsylvania’s First 3D-Printed Home

Pennsylvania's first 3D-printed home was built in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, using X-Hab 3D’s mobile system in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity. This project demonstrated how X-Hab 3D’s mobile, self-powered 3D concrete printing (3DCP) system can accelerate affordable housing construction while integrating seamlessly with local code workflows and community-driven build processes.

Maryland Air National Guard (MDANG)

Expeditionary Barracks 

At Warfield Air National Guard Base, in collaboration with the 175th Wing of Maryland Air National Guard, the Mobile MX3DP system was used to print an expeditionary B-Hut on-site. This project demonstrated the mobility, agility and ruggedness of X-Hab 3D’s tracked, self-powered 3D concrete printing (3DCP) system for military operating environments, such as forward operating bases and austere-site infrastructure.

Research Projects

DARPA

(Reef Reconstruction)

Coastal populations and infrastructure are at increasing risk due to rising sea levels and climate change.

DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) of the U.S. Department of Defense chose X-Hab 3D to develop sustainable, carbon-neutral construction materials. The materials will allow for 3D printing of artificial reefs to protect coastal infrastructure from shoreline erosion and wave damage.

DARPA’s Reefense program is using X-Hab’s 3D concrete system to rapidly produce artificial barrier reefs that would otherwise take decades naturally. X-Hab 3D’s saltwater-resistant, eco-friendly concrete will not only provide coastal infrastructure, but also serve as a reef starter and marine lifeguard.

NASA

(Lunar Material Research)

Lunar regolith – the material composite littering the “topsoil” of the moon – has amazing potential for construction.

NASA has tapped X-Hab 3D for an R&D contract to use microwave energy to process lunar regolith for construction. The same technology could be useful for applications on Earth, particularly in remote, isolated environments.
