3D-Printed House as a Symbol During Hugo de Jonge’s Visit
- Construction & Architecture

Metal 3D printing is increasingly being applied in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical sectors.
This technique is especially suited for producing high-quality metal products in small series or single units. The physical properties of 3D-printed metals closely match those of traditionally manufactured metals and, in many cases, are virtually identical. Moreover, the technology offers significant advantages in design freedom, lead time, and material efficiency.
Oceanz is a specialist and market leader in Additive Manufacturing in the Netherlands, offering comprehensive services in metal 3D printing. One of the key techniques we use is Selective Laser Melting (SLM). In SLM, a layer of metal powder, such as titanium, tool steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, is selectively melted by a laser to build a fully 3D object layer by layer.
Less setup time, shorter lead times, and accelerated time-to-market. Compared to traditional methods like machining or casting, 3D printing requires less preparation since no molds or specific programs per part are needed. This results in faster production and lower costs.
Because extensive machine setups or specialized tooling are unnecessary, setup costs remain low. Additionally, revisions can be made early in the process and fittings can be checked, reducing the chance of errors.
