Abstract
This paper presents the design and construction of a home prototype incorporating 3D-printed elements built in Chile. It provides a novel review of the process, which involved multidisciplinary planning, structural and environmental analysis, parametric design, and the printing of elements in a university laboratory, followed by on-site assembly and full construction. Compliance with local standards and the optimisation of activities is also examined. The study demonstrates the feasibility of developing housing with 3D-printed elements in the country, enabling architectural variety, local adaptation, and continuous improvement.
