January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive

Azure Printed Homes, a company in sustainable 3D-printed housing, is launching its $4.2 million crowdfunding campaign. This equity raise comes at a time where it will enable Azure to continue to scale its production capacity and provide support to families rebuilding after the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.
The campaign is occurring at a pivotal time for the home construction industry in Los Angeles where its mayor has issued an order to prioritize recovery of affected communities. The order allows temporary housing solutions, including tiny homes and modular structures, to be placed on fire-damaged properties for up to 3 years. Azure’s 3D-printed homes—crafted from recycled materials and built 70% faster and 30% more cost-effectively than traditional construction—are positioned to meet this urgent need.
Funds raised through this campaign align with Azure’s efforts to keep expanding and accelerating operations during 2025 and beyond. With plans to increase production capacity at its Los Angeles facility and to accelerate opening its new Colorado factory, Azure is working to meet the rising demand from displaced families while also delivering sustainable housing solutions.
“The recent LA wildfires have left thousands of families without homes, and Azure is committed to being part of the solution,” says Ross Maguire, co-founder and CEO of Azure Printed Homes. “As we continue to grow, this new funding campaign underscores our commitment to rapidly scale our capacity and to bring affordable, climate-resilient homes to all buyers, and most especially, to those who need them most.”
