40+ units built to date

Focused on scalable ADU construction in 2023

Since 2019, we have invested over $1,000,000 into engineering and research to design a process for 3D printing homes using recycled materials. While designing the new method, we completed over 40 houses, ADUs, and backyard studios—increasing revenue by 195% from 2019 to 2020, and by 260% from 2020 to 2021. Since launching our website in early January 2022, we have received paid pre-order deposits for units valued at over $25,000,000.

We start with backyard studios, as their 120 sq ft size means that, in general, planning permission not required. Avoiding potential bureaucratic red tape delays will allow us to produce & install at a fast pace.

As the first 3D printed structure printed from recycled materials, we've made (and continue to make) more than our fair share of headlines, appearing in over 100 publications in four languages. All publicity has been organic—no PR agency or paid placements.

Developers, Housing Authorities and Homeowners 

Azure is a B2B business and B2C business. We are selling Backyard Studios and ADUs directly to homeowners, investors & glamping resorts; while we sell homes to developers and housing authorities.

Strong unit economics

Our gross margins are 35%. We collect a small pre-order deposit, 10% of the purchase price upon receiving the order, and the balance before the units are shipped.

Customers generally pay in cash or arrange their funding; however, Azure also offers a finance program through a financial partner.

Why now

How is Azure different from other 3D Printing companies?

None of our competitors have capitalized on the true benefit of 3D Printing: its efficiency and mass production.

Competitors are:

• 3D printing panels and assembling conventionally; or

• Erecting a printer on-site and printing exterior concrete walls vertically over a traditional slab.

The Azure Printed Home moves beyond existing printing options in the construction industry, by enhancing:

• Sustainability - print material and through product life
•  Material design efficiency - structural, waterproofing, light-weight & transportable
• Production speed - full module shell print, unaffected by weather conditions
• Production cost - efficiency of inclusive roof and floor print 
• Regulatory Approval - 3rd Party factory home approval avoids local approval for every new install

Our design & process prints the floor, walls & roof in one layer. This means that the complete self-supporting shell for a studio unit is ready for the next stage of assembly in one day from start to finish.

A better way to build

Azure Printed Homes is disrupting the construction industry by changing the way homes are built. We have a vision where construction projects are built quickly and more affordably while also repurposing existing building materials and cutting emissions instead of having to utilize new resources.

We are ready to take on partners to bring this idea to the next level: a starter production facility generated $4 million* in revenue for the company in 2022, and projecting approximately $20 million* in 2023, when the plant is fully operational. In the future years, we will open similar factories in other states growing Azure to become one of the major prefab manufacturers.

Addressing the construction industry's sustainability problem

The production of traditional construction materials such as concrete contributes to about 11% of the world's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Our printed material takes an abundant universal waste product, in plastic, and transforms it into a structurally-responsible polymer that we can 3D print.

We see this as a stepping stone toward a more fundamental use of recycled plastic and 3D printing in the home building industry.

Beginning as a
bootstrapped startup

Azure Printed Homes has been completely self-funded to date with an internal investment of approximately $1,000,000.

Now we want to crowdsource this business, not just crowdfund it. Therefore, despite being told that we could raise at a much higher valuation, we chose to price this round conservatively under 6x our current revenue run rate. We chose this for two reasons. First, we want our earliest supporters to get a great deal so that you feel valued and are appropriately rewarded for believing in us.

The second is that our executive team has been around the block, and we've seen what happens when entrepreneurs over-value their companies—creating many problems down the line for future financings or exits. So we aim to set the stage for the best possible outcomes by pricing conservatively—for everyone involved.

We're staunch believers that companies should only raise money if they firmly committed to delivering a return for their investors. Of course, we can't predict the future, but our management team now works for YOU—and we will work tirelessly to get you the best return on your investment. We're raising on Republic because we want all our fans and early adopters also to have an opportunity to be investors and co-owners.
