Key Products
Affordable single-family homes with 3D-printed concrete walls, offered through an online purchasing process. Century Complete is building 72 homes in the Phoenix metro area using Diamond Age's 3D printing and robotics technology, resulting in homes that are more robust, quieter, and energy-efficient than traditional wood-framed houses. They also offer a range of homebuilding services, including land entitlement and development.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary deployment of 3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology through partnerships (e.g., with Diamond Age 3D) enables faster, cheaper construction of home walls, protected by operational expertise and scale as a public homebuilder.

Value Proposition
Reduces home construction costs by 10-20% compared to traditional methods, cuts build time by up to 30% using 3D-printed walls, and offers energy-efficient, durable homes through an innovative online purchasing process.
How They Differentiate
As a top-10 national homebuilder with existing land, supply chain, and sales infrastructure, Century Complete scales 3D-printed homes faster than startups, offering 10-20% lower prices and online sales.
