- (CNN) One Virginia family received the keys to their new 3D-printed home in time for Christmas.
- The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation, according to a Habitat news release.
- Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist , a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process.

- The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home.
