Many architectural firms have adopted 3D printing as their preferred technique for building structures. And 3D-printed architecture has truly gained a lot of popularity and momentum. It has paved a path for itself in modern architecture. And I mean, no wonder, it has a ton of benefits! It\u2019s a simple, efficient, and innovative technique that lowers the risks of errors, and also manages to save time. 3D printing eradicates a lot of tedious steps during the construction process and simplifies it. And cement company Progreso teamed up with COBOD to build Guatemala\u2019s first 3D-printed building.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/progreso.com\/about-progreso\/\">Progreso<\/a> x <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cobod.com\/\">COBOD<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-459581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/10\/guatemala-3d-printed-home\/3d_printed_house_guatemala_yanko_design_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/10\/30\/meet-guatemalas-first-3d-printed-earthquake-resistant-house-that-was-built-in-just-26-hours\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Meet Guatemala\u2019s First 3D-Printed Earthquake-Resistant House That Was Built In Just 26 Hours\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/10\/guatemala-3d-printed-home\/3d_printed_house_guatemala_yanko_design_03.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-459581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/10\/guatemala-3d-printed-home\/3d_printed_house_guatemala_yanko_design_03.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/10\/30\/meet-guatemalas-first-3d-printed-earthquake-resistant-house-that-was-built-in-just-26-hours\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Meet Guatemala\u2019s First 3D-Printed Earthquake-Resistant House That Was Built In Just 26 Hours\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/10\/guatemala-3d-printed-home\/3d_printed_house_guatemala_yanko_design_03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"31e610a11757fb41617b14c5-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"31e610a11757fb41617b14c5-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Guatemala\u2019s first 3D-printed building was recently completed to withstand local seismic activity, allowing it to be earthquake-resistant.

The roof of the home is the traditional roof seen all over the region, and it is made from palm thatching. Wooden slats were also added to the building, to promote natural ventilation and create a spacious and airy environment.
