Gallery – TOTAL KUSTOM

Our journey into 3D-printed construction began in the late 2000s. After years of intensive research, experimentation, and development, we successfully built our first prototype printer in the U.S.—designed specifically to print structural forms using concrete.

By 2012, we achieved a major milestone: demonstrating the ability to 3D print structures using specialized concrete mortar mixes. This process, known as contour crafting, remains the foundation of our technology today. As pioneers in the field, we continue to push the boundaries—refining our methods and advancing the craft with every project.

The oldest 3D Printed Concrete Structure in North America

In 2014, Mr. Rudenko 3D printed a full-scale concrete castle using a custom-built printer of his own design. Initially intended as a temporary installation, the structure was placed on soft soil in his backyard—yet it has remarkably withstood the test of time for over a decade. This project stands as the first permitted 3D concrete printed (3DCP) structure in North America. More than just a technical achievement, it serves as a powerful demonstration of the architectural freedom made possible by this emerging technology.

First 3D Printed hotel in the world

In 2014, we pioneered the world’s first 3D-printed hotel—right in the Philippines. Constructed using locally sourced materials, this groundbreaking project marked the first real-world demonstration of 3D-printing technology in the built environment. Over a decade later, the structure continues to operate successfully as both a hotel and guest house, standing as a testament to innovation, sustainability, and enduring design.

First 3DCP House in the USA with parametric walls

In 2022, we completed our first 3D-printed home in the United States—one of the largest 3D-printed residential structures available for purchase in the country. Built using materials sourced from a local Texas supplier, the project was executed with our proprietary StoryBot aluminum printer. The home’s walls showcase multicolor layering and parametric design elements, highlighting both the artistic and technical capabilities of 3D-printed construction. This three-bedroom residence spans over 3,000 square feet, offering a bold vision of the future of housing.

First Custom build 3DCP Home in the USA.

In 2022, a family of five from North Texas approached us with a vision: a modern, affordable concrete home tailored to their needs. After understanding their goals, we designed a sleek, functional residence and brought it to life using our 3D printing technology and a locally produced concrete mix. The structure was printed across varying climate conditions, demonstrating the resilience of both our process and materials.

By the fall of 2023, the family moved in. Since then, they’ve praised the home’s thermal efficiency, durability, and overall comfort—proving that innovative construction can also feel like home.

First 3DCP Home in Ohio.

In 2024, a group of real estate investors partnered with us to build a small 3D-printed home designed for Airbnb rental. Located in the countryside, the structure features a concrete shell paired with a traditional roof and interior finishes—seamlessly blending modern construction technology with classic design.

This project serves as a clear demonstration of how our 3D printing technology can complement traditional real estate investment strategies, offering durability, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.
