MAHC Joins Legislators at UMaine 3-D Printed House Tour

"Legislators and affordable housing developers and advocates visited the University of Maine on Friday, July 1 to see how the state’s flagship university is advancing housing and food security through research, innovation and partnerships. 

The daylong summit showcasing solutions to one of the state’s grand challenges was organized by UMaine and the University of Maine System in partnership with the Legislature’s bipartisan Housing and Homelessness Caucus and MaineHousing. 

It included a tour of the UMaine Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC), where, under the leadership of founding director Habib Dagher, research is underway to use Maine wood and the world’s largest 3D printer to help develop affordable housing. In the face of worker and supply shortages, the innovative process would reduce labor and materials needs and costs compared to standard construction, while improving housing sustainability and availability for those in need. 

A new Green Engineering and Materials Factory of the Future is planned to further expand the Composites Center’s world-leading work in biobased materials development.
