The primary focus of 3D printing is on walls and involves using technologies such as AI for the initial creative and design phase and 3D printing itself for the construction phase. 

Litehaus chief creative officer Simi Launay said: “We are here to distrust the sector. This technology allows us to produce as much as 45m² of walls in only 20 hours.” 

The company invests in modular housing and 3D-printed homes, reportedly reducing energy consumption by 67% when compared to traditional manufacturing methods. 

It says it integrates technology and sustainability in premium properties, seeking to develop energy-efficient units with lower running costs.
