One of the youngest people in the world to 3D print a house became a CTO at 22. Here's how she did it.
Less than a year after she graduated from college, and became a mechanical engineer, she operated a printer that built a two-bedroom cement home on Long Island. The task took 80 hours and was completed within weeks.
Now, at 24, she spends her days modifying and improving the 3D printer so that builders everywhere can use it to construct homes at a faster and more affordable rate, taking pressure off an undersupplied housing market throughout the country, she told Insider. As a child she kept a running list of things she wanted to make better, from umbrellas to refrigerators. Once, she built a snow shovel that took some of the weight out of scooping for her mother, who has a bad back.So after Henry graduated high school, she enrolled in Yale University as a biomedical engineering major and started on a pre-med track. In her second semester, Henry found her calling in a 3D printing class called See It, Change It, Make It.
Henry went on to design a small-scale concrete 3D printer with a colleague for her senior year design project.
