About Empire 3D
Building the Future of Housing
Empire 3D stands at the intersection of innovation and humanitarian service, transforming the construction industry through cutting-edge 3D printing technology. Founded by a team of engineers, architects, and disaster response specialists, we've pioneered a revolutionary approach to creating storm-resistant, affordable housing that can be deployed rapidly in crisis situations.
Our journey began after witnessing the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, where traditional construction methods failed to meet the urgent need for safe, durable shelter. We set out to develop a solution that could withstand nature's most powerful forces while being rapidly deployable in disaster zones.
Today, we operate a network of advanced manufacturing facilities across the United States, ready to respond to emergencies within hours of activation. At Empire 3D, we blend technological innovation with deep compassion to create housing solutions that stand the test of time and nature.
Our Core Values
Rapid Response
Deploying housing solutions within 72 hours of disaster declaration through our strategically located facilities and modular construction approach.
Storm Resistance
Engineering homes to withstand Category 5 hurricanes and seismic events through our patented concrete composite and aerodynamic designs.
Affordability
Reducing costs by up to 40% compared to conventional housing by eliminating construction waste and automating the building process.
Zero Carbon Footprint
Our construction process produces net-zero carbon emissions through sustainable materials and solar-powered operations.
Time Efficiency
We build homes in days instead of months - reducing construction time by 70% compared to traditional methods.
Energy Independence
Solar-powered homes eliminate utility bills and provide energy security, saving homeowners thousands annually.
Our Mission
Building Hope Through Resilient Shelter
Empire 3D's mission is to revolutionize disaster response and affordable housing through advanced 3D printing technology. We partner with FEMA, Habitat for Humanity, and other humanitarian organizations to provide immediate, storm-resistant shelter solutions when and where they're needed most.
We believe that safe shelter is a fundamental human right. Through relentless innovation and compassionate service, we're building a future where no family spends a single night without a secure roof overhead when disaster strikes.
How We Build
Our construction process combines cutting-edge technology with practical engineering:
- Digital Site Assessment: Using satellite imagery and drone surveys to create detailed terrain models
- On-Site 3D Printing: Mobile robotic printers produce a 600 sq ft home in under 24 hours
- Modular Integration: Prefabricated roof systems and hurricane-rated windows for rapid assembly
- Community Design: Creating neighborhoods with communal spaces and emergency shelters
Strategic Partnerships
As a FEMA-certified Rapid Deployment Facility, we maintain pre-positioned materials at strategic locations nationwide, with 24/7 monitoring systems ready for immediate activation. With Habitat for Humanity, we've developed the "Rapid Rehousing Initiative" that has already provided hundreds of storm-resistant homes to families displaced by natural disasters.
