While there are multiple debates in the field of architecture about whether 3D printing can be considered craftsmanship or if it is feasible to mix local materials with 3D printing, its implementation from academia aims to create new experiences, research, and knowledge that contribute to its development and practical application. Now, how might the integration of 3D printing in academia provoke future changes in the construction industry? And how could education in architecture and design encourage collaboration with other disciplines to create new applications across different fields?

This project is not only the first 3D-printed prototype in Chile but also the first in all of Latin America with seismic-resistant and sustainable features. Its primary goal is to demonstrate the capabilities of 3D printing construction and to promote its application in addressing the growing housing demand.
