- As housing prices skyrocket across the country, new 3D printing technology is working to bring the price down. In this video, the Solutionaries team goes inside a 3D printed home to show what it takes to build one.
Still, paying more than a quarter million dollars is ridiculous. Everything is overpriced these days.
sure, but relative discounts are always welcome
This is the way.
Shouldn't infill overlap with walls to bond?
Probably really expensive ink.
Is the sand shortage an issue in 3D printing homes?
The outside looks fantastic, but the inside walls look not so.
Could someone explain an 'affordable' home needing 4 bathrooms, but I digress.
The term affordable home is loosely used often. It's all about who can afford the home. Trust it is not the lower income bracket.

It's easier to do this in the factory and bring it out to the job site. Concrete roofs are important also.
Okay but don’t you still have to run strapping to put up your drywall? Also how do u insulate?
Insulation is put in the wall gaps. It's just foam like substance. Not much dry wall would not be put in at this price, but owners are welcome to do it if they prefer that look.
@@TheBestNameEverMade ahh I see. That answers a huge problem I had with this system. That actually makes a lot of sense. So you don’t need any strapping inside for insulation and you’d leave the walls as bare concrete? Or parge/stucco them? Would you do the same thing on the outside? I’m from up north and no one uses stucco really so I was wondering how you’d run siding on the outside
@blackridgeproductions2738 they do use stuco with some, a few use decorative wall pannels, sometimes they paint them, sometimes leave them bare. Of course, any additional work increases the cost. Many like the bare look icon build does. I have seen one where the buyer of the home was smoothing the concrete by hand as it was printed.
See icon's House Zero for an example of one with minimal additions. Bare outside and inside except for the bathroom and a few selected walls.
One storm and its all flewn away
What materials used in the printer ?
It's a mixture of concrete
@@Solutionarieswhat is this company? Do they just do east coast?
So $145 sq foot turnkey ready to move in. It would be interesting to see the breakdown cost of the lot cost to prepare the lot Building permits to get a better idea of how much the actual 3D printing cost was, if the 3D printing cost was closer to $50 or 60 sq ft that's a nice profit margin for Apis Cor
the printing is around that cost~
ICON is currently between 25-34$/sq ft with their tech.
this only addresses walls and foundation.
so just about everything else is same as conventional, but its big progress
Why why why why are people still not in housing if constructing adequate housing is this easy?
The cost of 3d printing has actually been higher for a while. I am still not sure I trust this company's claims as it has taken other 3d printing companies a lot longer to bring down the costs. In anycase they don't have many printers or crew that know how to operate them, and also, if demand goes up for the 70% of the other stuff that is needed to be done, that will increase price. There are not enough contractors, and 3d printing only attacks one part of the process.
@@TheBestNameEverMade Wouldn’t it be easier to hire people who already know construction and train them on how to 3D print houses? I imagine if demand goes up supply will too and workers will increase in number, therefore producing a house won’t be so costly.
@weeweefeet4030 I am not sure what you mean. They do higher people who know construction and also people who do not. Being able to pick from both gives a bigger supply and allows other construction workers to work on other parts of it.
The nice thing about the 3d printers is that part you don't need physical labor, so there is more kinds of people who can work with it.
I do think lower home prices will increase the number made and increase the total number of construction workers even if it takes half or a quarter as many people per home. The US for example is literally millions of homes behind what is needed at this point. That's 10s of millions of jobs, just for homes. I will point out that 3d printers are not just for homes, so the total addressable market is much larger.
However, they need to get the low-cost to opperate printers that use the lower cost materials produced at volume. Icon 3d only recently unveiled a printer and material capable of serious competition with the regular market, and it's 2 years away from mass production. I don't think other 3d printing companies are close yet.
Insane price still! 300 grand, vs those old houses shown as being on the market and obtaining 400 Gs, no way. I'd never move there to waste money like that! Two horribly bad choices! Go somewhere else to live.
😂@ affordable housing
OVERPRICE, YOURE NOT FOULING ANYONE.
