Azure Printed Homes, a company 3D printing homes using recycled polymers, is expanding its operations by more than 100% – directly responding to the growing need for affordable and sustainable small home and ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) solutions. Launched in 2022, Azure Printed Homes is emerging rapidly as a category leader in the creation and production of high-quality small dwellings. Azure’s small houses and ADUs have been particularly successful due to their ability to use recycled plastic polymer as their primary building material.
With the ability to build and deliver 3D printed homes within 3-4 weeks of order, and for as little as $39,000/unit, the eco-friendly Azure units are becoming increasingly in demand for a rapidly growing number of rental developments, homeowners needing additional space for multifamily use or rental income opportunity, and communities requiring fast and economical access to temporary housing.
Manufacturing on Demand
“Regulation is moving quickly in support of [the] ability to add ADUs to existing multifamily projects with California passing SB 1211 to allow up to 8 detached ADUs per each development,” said Gene Eidelman, Co-founder of Azure. “However, the ability to construct and install these units quickly and sustainably is of vital importance as well. These are the primary factors that are spurring our need and opportunity to ramp up our manufacturing facilities to 24/7 operation.”
“While multiple small home providers are trending toward 3D construction, many are constructed with concrete, which contributes both directly and indirectly to greenhouse gases,” said Eidelman, while attributing much of Azure’s success to the company’s ability to reduce the world’s seemingly limitless supply of plastic waste at the same time it is answering the urgent need for more affordable and sustainable housing.
In addition to Azure’s expanding growth at its Los Angeles, CA headquarters, the company’s Colorado location is also significant as the location for its forthcoming 20,000-square-foot factory in the Denver area that will open in 2025 for the production of a 100-home development in the area.

Black Buffalo 3D and LIUNA union launch training for construction 3DP: The training program, which launched this month, aims to upskill LIUNA union members in the field of construction. Black Buffalo 3D, which developed the NEXCON construction 3D printer, a multi-axis gantry system capable of printing structures up to three stories in height, will be able to share its expertise and impart knowledge to further the proliferation of construction 3D printing. Notably, the training with LIUNA members is the next step in Black Buffalo 3D’s plan to develop a more standardized training program for the emerging technology.
