Black Buffalo 3D has broken ground in Fort Worth’s Southside community with its pilot LoMa 3D-printed home at 100 W. Bolt St. The first of its kind in the world, the LoMa home utilizes technology that makes it the first International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES)-approved home to use load-bearing 3D-printed walls. “We are excited to be printing a home in a densely populated area that will provide more people with an opportunity to witness the future of construction. This home will showcase the benefits of structural 3D construction including efficiency, low cost of ownership, and the ability to withstand natural and manmade disasters,” remarked Mike Miceli, CEO of Black Buffalo 3D. Dubbed “LoMa” for its low-maintenance nature, the home was designed in partnership with Boxer Property to showcase the ease of the immediate construction process as well as future maintenance and upkeep. Once the walls are printed with proprietary Planitop 3D
