Quadrum (village)

2024: Creation of the village

In early June 2024, it became known that the 3DLand company had implemented the Quadrum project to create the first cottage village in Russia, built using 3D printing technology. A complex of the same type of one-story houses with an area of ​ ​ 80 square meters with individual heating is deployed in the village of Aisha, Zelenodolsky District, Tatarstan.

During the construction of buildings, a construction 3D printer S-300 developed and manufactured by the Yaroslavl company AMT-Spetsavia is used. During construction, a special mixture of concrete, filler, plasticizer and other components is loaded into the hopper of the device and supplied to the printhead. The composition is applied to the surface of the site or to previous printed layers. The object is erected according to a predefined 3D model.

3DLand

It is noted that the size of the construction area reaches 11 × 11 × 4 meters. It takes one to two days to print directly to 3D. Houses are built on monolithic reinforced concrete foundations, the roof consists of wooden rafters and a metal profile, and partitions are made of brick. In general, it takes about three weeks (21 days) to create one structure, taking into account communications. The normative life of such houses is 80-120 years.

According to the 3D Today resource, the Quadrum project provides for the availability of autonomous water supply, sewerage, gasification and electrification, as well as video surveillance and asphalt streets. On the territory of the village they organize courts for playing basketball and volleyball, a playground, etc. The key advantages of 3D printing technology are zero-waste construction, reduced energy consumption, time and cost savings, minimizing human error and improving safety.^[1]
