OK, this has nothing to do with the current Willow Park, but what happens in Fort Worth does not stay in Fort Worth.
Watch a 3D-printed home being built, just 23 miles east of Willow Park, at 100 W. Bolt St. Fort Worth.
The property is said to be the first International Code Council Evaluation Service-approved residence to use load-bearing 3D-printed walls. “This home will showcase the benefits of structural 3D construction including efficiency, low cost of ownership, and the ability to withstand natural and manmade disasters.”
“It’s a great location where a lot of people can see it, and we’ll have a home using traditional construction nearby so there can be a comparison,” Cooperman said.

Plenty of homes are under construction in Fort Worth, but the one at 100 W. Bolt St., across from La Gran Plaza, is different.
The property is said to be the first International Code Council Evaluation Service-approved residence to use load-bearing 3D-printed walls.
“We are excited to be printing a home in a densely populated area that will provide more people with an opportunity to witness the future of construction,” said Mike Miceli, CEO of the Union, New Jersey-based builder Black Buffalo 3D, in a statement. “This home will showcase the benefits of structural 3D construction including efficiency, low cost of ownership, and the ability to withstand natural and manmade disasters.”
The three-bedroom home of about 1,500 square feet was designed in partnership with Houston-based Boxer Property to showcase the ease of the immediate construction process, as well as future maintenance and upkeep, said Peter Cooperman, chief marketing officer for Black Buffalo 3D.
When the company partnered with Boxer Property, they began looking for a site to demonstrate the technology. Boxer Property owned the location at 100 W. Bolt St.
“It’s a great location where a lot of people can see it, and we’ll have a home using traditional construction nearby so there can be a comparison,” Cooperman said.
