Khoshnevis decided to adapt the technology for rapid home construction as a way to rebuild after natural disasters, like the devastating earthquakes that have plagued his native Iran.
The notional concept calls for the insertion of structural components, plumbing, wiring, utilities, and even consumer devices like audiovisual systems as the layers are built.
[4] In 2010, Khoshnevis claimed that his system could build a complete home in a single day,[5] and its electrically powered crane would produce very little construction material waste.
In addition, contour crafting does not generate noise, dust or make harmful emissions to the environment given the equipment that is used.
[8] After three years, in 2013, NASA funded a small study at the University of Southern California to further develop the Contour Crafting 3D printing technique.
