A building solution that doesnʼt cost the earth.
Jindi is a cost-effective house construction solution that uses large 3D printers and recycled plastic waste to create insulated, waterproof forms. These forms, customizable in shape, are coated with high-performance cement and basalt fiber render, ensuring strength, longevity, safety, and minimal carbon footprint.
Southern Cross University's ReCirculator team are working with Studio Kite to divert plastic from local landfill and into 3D printing housing. Learn more about the ReCirculator and Jindi here:

The first Jindi is a 32m2 modular home designed as a self-supporting arch structure with a fire-resistant exterior and plaster interior. It boasts exceptional insulation with a vermiculite-filled wall cavity ranging from 100-300mm, creating excellent passive thermal insulation. Our final formula is a combination of a 3D printed form, made from 100% recycled plastic and coated with a fibre reinforced high-performance cement to increase longevity.

Sustainability isn’t just a ‘nice to have’
Plastic waste
Australia is one of the world's biggest consumers of single-use plastic per person. Over the past decade, plastic consumption has grown from 123 kg consumed per person in 2010 to 147 kg in 2021. And only 14% of that is recycled. Up to 145,000 tonnes of plastic will enter the environment annually, which can have devastating impacts.
Construction Waste
According to the national waste report of 2020, the building industry in Australia produces 27 million tonnes of construction waste every year. This accounts for 44% of all waste generated in the country! Shockingly, out of this building waste, 20 million tonnes end up in landfills annually.
Climate Change
Greenhouse gases emitted by the building industry are unsustainable and must be reduced. Construction alone contributes to 25% of Australia's emissions.
Housing Shortage
Construction cost is rising at a far greater rate than inflation making housing unaffordable for a greater and greater number of people.
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

Studio Kite
With 35 years of expertise in special effects, large sculpture, and model making, Studio Kite has made significant contributions to the film, television, architecture and prototyping industries. With 23 years of proficiency in 3D printing, they are at the forefront of this technology.
Pioneering the cutting edge of 3D printing, Studio Kite has developed two CADzilla monster 3D printers designed for large-scale fabrication. Over the past five years, these machines have worked tirelessly to construct large-scale fabrications. Studio Kite's enthusiasm now extends to the exciting prospect of 3D printing affordable homes.
We proudly present Jindi 3D, a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainability. The inspiration for Jindi came from the success of 3d printing nest boxes for endangered species. Our 3D-printed nest boxes in recycled waste plastic outperformed traditional methods such as plywood boxes and hollowed logs.
Fueled by the urgency of recent bushfires and floods, we recognised the need to extend our capabilities to address affordable human habitation. We at Jindi 3D aspire to revolutionize the housing industry by offering aesthetically pleasing, environmentally conscious, affordable housing.
