Mighty Buildings is a company of "entrepreneurs, inventors, and technologists" and most recently, it proposed a housing crisis solution for the United States. Given the aggravation of the housing problem because of COVID-19, initiatives such as this are necessary to diversify the options for working class citizens in North America.
Mighty Buildings' housing crisis solution consists of a "versatile and efficient automated system that can 3D-print a 350-square-foot studio apartment in less than 24 hours." Prices are starting at $99,000, which places this initiative as not one that fights homelessness directly but is trying to minimize it in the long-run.
Might Buildings' 3D-printers rely on a "thermoset composite called Light Stone Material (LSM) which is claimed to be "a more effective building material than concrete."
