Could 3D-printed housing help address Oklahoma’s affordable housing crisis? A lawmaker thinks so

 Could 3D-printed housing help address Oklahoma’s affordable housing crisis? A lawmaker thinks so

An Oklahoma state lawmaker wants to use the same technology that is being considered for use on Mars to help tackle the affordable housing crisis.

State Rep. Mickey Dollens, D-Oklahoma City, said he’s working on legislation that among other things will expand the state’s housing tax credit to include 3D-printed homes.

Dollens said the homes can be built from as little as $14 per square foot.

“One of the reasons this is more affordable is because it requires less components,” he said.

The homes are constructed by pouring a foundation, printing the floor plan and topping the home off with a traditional roof. Each home can be customized, and proponents said the housing could be a better option for Oklahoma’s severe weather due to using stronger material and foundations compared to mobile homes.
