Using a COBOD printer, 3DCP Group and Progreso have built what they say is Guatemala's first 3D-printed tiny home.
The palm leaf roof-topped unit was designed to resist 9.0-magnitude earthquakes, according to COBOD's cofounder.
The walls of the 527-square-foot unit were printed in 26 hours over one week.

The companies behind Guatemala's first 3D-printed tiny home say this 527-square-foot unit has one secret element that helps it withstand seismic activities — palm leaves.
