I visited a recyclable 3D-printed 600-square-foot tiny home in Maine and saw the future of sustainable homebuilding

- In November, the University of Maine's Advanced Structures and Composites Center 3D-printed a bio-based tiny home.
- The modular and prefab one-bedroom house was printed using recyclable pellets.
- I toured the unit and was surprised to see it looked like any traditionally built home.
One overcast April afternoon, I traveled from New York to Bangor, Maine to visit one of the quiet college city's newest tiny homes, the BioHome3D.
