offering homes built with three-dimensional, or 3D printing technology.</span> <span data-start-time='13104' data-end-time='28604'>The companies say 3D printers can build homes faster, for a lot less money, and in a much more environment friendly way than traditional building methods. </span> <span data-start-time='28604' data-end-time='37813'>They say the technology may also help solve America’s shortage of affordable housing.</span> <span data-start-time='37813' data-end-time='47042'>3D printers make physical objects based on 3D models created by a computer. </span> <span data-start-time='47042' data-end-time='58500'>The machines put down many thin layers of material -- such as plastic, metal or concrete -- on top of each other. </span> <span data-start-time='58500' data-end-time='64438'>Objects are created through this process, from the bottom up.</span> <span data-start-time='64438' data-end-time='74250'>In recent years, 3D printers have mostly been used to create small, specialized items. </span> <span data-start-time='74250' data-end-time='81854'>This includes parts for automobiles, airplanes and medical devices. </span> <span data-start-time='81854' data-end-time='89792'>Many consumer products can also be 3D printed as well, from clothes to foods.</span> <span data-start-time='89792' data-end-time='99833'>Now, an increasing number of startup companies are using 3D printing to build entire homes.</span> <span data-start-time='99833' data-end-time='106083'>Since the technology is still developing, not many have yet been built. </span> <span data-start-time='106083' data-end-time='114229'>However, the top companies plan to greatly increase production in coming years.</span> <span data-start-time='114229' data-end-time='129563'>The startup company Icon, based in Austin, Texas, made news in 2018 by completing the first permitted 3D printed home in the U.S. </span> <span data-start-time='129563' data-end-time='135771'>At the time, it said the home had been built in just a day.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back' class='back'
