I see a lot of comments here on people worried about loss of jobs due to 3D printing technology & 3D printed home. My advise :
1. Buy your own piece of land were prices are cheaper
2. Print your own house
3. Plant your own vegetables/ raise your own cattle
4. Print all or any of the manufactured products you want in your own home
Then you no longer need a day job or purchase anything as you are self sustainable
Taxes.
Firstly it would cost a fortune for the initial set up, secondly if we all were able to even follow that advice we'd all be farmers and the world would go to shit and thirdly you would still require an income to sustain that lifestyle and a few cows and crops won't cut it as the supermarkets get their stock from mass production
filament
You cant print a fully functional phone from a farmhouse unless that farm produces rare metals.
Sevenfold120
who needs a phone? Why have a phone if you are living off the grid?
i think 3D printing will be one of those things that will change the labor industry as we know it. This along with automated cars, robots, ect, will force us to redesign our job industry and what humans can get paid for.
3D printing is going to be seen as one of the greatest inventions in capitalism, along with the car, the airplane and the computer.
Free market will conquer.
I doubt it, you can get them for super cheap yet they are not a standard household object.
@@maliksworld8467 look up 3d printed homes in America. They already panted this technology that they didn’t even create. Capitalism is a huge issue
It's about time I saw something practical about 3-D printing. I was thinking about houses and lo and behold, here it is! Thank you
I came here to see a house literally printed and I didn't get it.
EatMyOREO5 same
EatMyOREO5 me to
You saved my time
ditto, just click bait sh!t.
yeah same here :( ...go to Apis core video & watch
If anything, the future will certainly be interesting.
I was in finance and met with Dr. Koshnevis at USC in the Gerontology area. This was many years ago. I read about his work and wanted to provide him with money. He wanted a $10 million loan for R & D. My investors don't make loans for R & D. and so the loan request went nowhere. At the time, he had many problems with his gantry and system and was not ready to begin building houses. I don't think those problems have been resolved and I don't think he's yet building homes in the USA. I still love his ideas and want to see him succeed. It's good to see your video about him! Thanks!
As an artist, 3D printing is my second favorite medium after digital painting.... a very, very close second. The day I can have true full-color, hi res, inexpensive, easy to design for plastics, I will say 3D printing is my favorite medium. I am ecstatic about 3D printing. Absolutely ecstatic.
Has every tech advancement really been wrought of controversy ?? As a techy- and construction pro, this is a game changer 4sho' !! As a Floridian- long time coming and oh so necessary !!
Agree. I have the land. But when will I be able to put it to work??
Either you're growing or you're falling backwards. I love how this tecnology is growing!
I am a Commercial CNC operator and programer.I feel 3d printing is the way of the future. I have been watching it progress in the past 25yrs when a small inventor in the 90s built a inkjet 3d printer and open sourced how he did it. They can even print metal and now concrete. I have even seen one print with food. The sky and stars are limitless. "like the replicator on star trek." Its very exciting.
Bro, this is the future. I am getting one of these homes. Thanks for making this vid!
I remember Star Trek talking about "Industrial Replicators", how 2 were provided to Bajor post reconstruction and a bunch were provided to the Cardassians after the Klingons kicked their butts.
This is the first step.
Peteman12 i know right
Peteman12 Man, and I thought Keeping up with the Cardassians was just trash tv.
Industrial replicators would probably be a 3D printer, whereby ionised atoms of choice (the ink) are guided by magnetic fields (the nozzle) to the correct location, eventually electrocuted to make the atoms normal and non ionised.
I hope to see dozens of competing contour craft companies.
Printing houses will open up a new and competitive industry.
Other companies will enter the market and print their own styles of houses.
Consumers will benefit because they will be able to choose between various competing companies.
This will drive down the prices of contour crafted houses!
Supply and demand for contour crafted houses is what free market is all about!
Great video! Great new technology will be used everywhere if it saves time and money so long as the product is safe and useful.
I am so excited to see more in the future from this technology! Especially in the medical or art professions!
You still need carpenters, plumbers, electricians and so forth to build out the rest of the house... this is just building the framework...
Exactly!
All of this stuff can be done in maximum of two days, the framework is the hardest.
^ha! I'd love to see someone wire a whole house up in two days that is fully up to code.
***** Depends on the house...i would like to live in just a 3D printed dome-house. Half sphere. How long would it take to wire and put the pluming in that?
You could use a 'bot to put the wire runs in whilst the concrete was being laid. I think even after that there's still more than two man-days of work involved.
One 3D printer just made an office building in Dubai in just 17 days.
You have my interest....I will keep looking at the presentations. Thanks.
THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO I SEE FROM THIS RUclipsR AND I SUBSCRIBED ALREADY! AND I NORMALLY DON'T DO THAT! THAT'S HOW NICE I AM! (and how awesome thiz youtuber is)
Wow, this is like something right out of "The Sims" games!
I think the idea is pretty awesome, and for those worried about loss of construction jobs, there's always room for more social workers and more anime producers ;)
X3
I think this new technology is great, I can't wait to see more of it.
Wow!!! I'm amazed! I really got to do this 3d printing i have a few dream homes that i want to build. I'm glad i watched this. Pretty sure my homes would cost millions doing it the old ways. Thanks.
The final question is stability. Usually houses have internal structure - wood or steel frames. Usually concrete walls, even footing for houses, have rebar. So how is the stability in earthquakes? That is always a test of a structure, especially in areas where housing is being replaced for natural disasters. The same thing will probably happen again, due to where they live. And even in safe areas, the footings settle and cracking is an issue. So have those question been addressed or are they addressing them now.
There is a fiber reinforced concrete that is just as strong, if not stronger, than rebar. Of course the concrete is alot more expensive.
What about hvac, plumbing, electrical, insulation, etc?
***** So...... everything I just listed...
IAmaPersion that stuff will still be done by contractors or plumbers etc, this just gives you the structure, I'm sure it can be programmed to leave spaces for areas to be knocked out for plumbing, wall panels, windows, etc. These ones are more meant for basic houses in 3rd world countries, and could also be used for things like housing homeless and refugee populations
You can't print steel reinforcement.
Austin J Gardner, they use fiberglass rods for reinforcement, plus the concrete is not made from Portland cement, but a new type of cement specifically invented for 3D printing which is stronger than Portland cement.
Susan Springfield that is pretty impressive . Thanks for update
this is a v. good opertunity to make some creative things... weldone..wait for future to see devolopment of printing
3D printing is one of the most exciting inventions of my life!!
IKEA brand houses
what about the wiring of the house?
I love this idea. As a 40 year construction worker and now Career and Technical Education teacher. I think we should be teaching this technology in apprenticeship and engineering programs in alternative to college schools (private, not government)
Fantastic Video I'm really enjoyed
awesome
They say that every man is king of his own castle....well now you can have your own castle: www.cnet.com/news/worlds-first-3d-printed-castle-built-house-next/
The consumer market is bound to collapse under our current economic paradigm as the resources of our planet dwindle so putting stock in intellectual propriety is always a good investment when it comes to doing more with less. 3D printing is a wonderful tool that should be taken to it's furthest reaches. We can already make some replacement human organs with this technology which gets man 1 step closer to clinical immortality which I'm sure the allure of hasn't left us yet.
WOW! I don't think anyone here realizes the implications of this scale of 3D printing! We are talking about saying goodbye to assembling things by hand or at least by cutting wood, making bricks, drywall, and all other materials instead we can mass produce them at the push of a button! This would take the jobs of many manufacturers, but it would also create jobs for 3D printer maintenance people, 3D printer part manufacturers, people who run the printer, architects, designers, engineers, all sorts of jobs. Seriously, this is a world changing invention, imagine if this becomes widespread within the next 100 years, most of you reading this comment will get to see a revolution in production that nobody has seen since the industrial revolution! I can already imagine huge factories in space full of printers printing parts for spacecraft and those parts getting shipped off to thriving colonies on Mars, Europa, and Titan!
it's awesome and we should be using it right now. There are so many families and individuals who are homeless or can't afford to build a regular home because of cost and this technology could really help them get started right . 👍
Doesn't this machine just frame the house? I mean there are so much more after you frame a house.
Utilities are in the frame design and and the roof is seperate but it still comes in under 20% of current construction prices
It'll take longer than 24 hours though I'm sure. Windows, insulation, painting, essential furnishing like a bathtub, plumbing, electrical wiring, blah blah blah... I don't think the 3D printer will do any of that.
*****
Yeah but from what I saw in the video it's only printing the structure of the building.
Roger Smith
Still faster than the usual way...
Roger Smith It's definitely quicker than building a house manually, even figuring in man hours.
But what demands more time to be constructed is exactly the concrete structure 🤔 so building faster the concrete structures means they could save a lot of time of housing building and doing it faster and cheaper
CEMEX, here in Chihuahua, Mexico prints a lot of things in concrete, i saw when it was printing a beam of a bridge, and it was very bing, like a 100 meters.
I am more than excited to see where this technology will take us! I have hopes to one day build my dream home by 3D printing ability. The future is now!
nice.
maybe you can enter your credit/debitcard into someting kinda like a game but its your money so it tells you that you would spend too much on materials.
humans being broke and unemployed in their new 3d printed houses :)
***** only time will show jim , only time will show...
+Bill Beis when a printer makes anything you want, what is working for again, money to buy what?
+Jim Nguyen Mining Not necessary really, we have machines that can sort rubbish, materials, plus atomic construction would change that anyway, no steel in but steel out, its possible but not common yet. We dump thousands of tonnes of materials here, steel, wood, everything, sometimes i get paid to take it when i want it. I have piles of all sorts i got paid to have. It has less than zero value. But at least you've questioned which is in the direction of finding out. Best wishes to you. Bye for now and be well from Will and Mr Data :) :}
+WillofNewZealand recycling is still not cost viable otherwise NZ wouldnt be shipping our recycables off to China on barges, the only things its lucrative in (just) is aluminium here in this country and the works in the south island has recently been under threat by the curretn economic climate, as an engineer i can say that the more we innovate the more poeple will lose jobs, innovation for all its glory is mainly funded by greed and cutting costs not furthering the well being of humanity
ah ha, well being ain't comming into it from where i'm sitting, money usually comes first. people, health, safety or any other factors i've not seen come into it. make it or die in the streets is the modern way. I've not seen it any other way. I suppose we'll have more gangs to join over time, wait until they hand over the tobacco industry to gangs when tobacco is outlawed, thats another billion dollar industry being given to them, along with the drug market here. Gov is there hero for keeping any legal competition away. Thats why meth according to police here in NZ in 2015 was higher than ever in NZs history. More that 260 million found here last year, and apparently 90% gets through.
But hay i don't write laws or create markets and drive them. Well being, hum tobacco kills 5 million per year and thats legal. Marijuana no deaths illegal. Gangs happy to win back there market and beat gov thats a billion dollars they are going to recieve. Well being if the fertherist thing away. 26 mil for a flag that could have been sown by a retired granny for the price of a tea bag, and a face book pole for free while homeless doubled last year also. Well being no sorry not a factor. safety no, health no, science no, lessons from other countries no. Lobbying yes. Making money from the law is required, bats and knives for violent meth heads, equipment, its not up to me to write the laws and make the markets that have taken over here as per the push of the law. Violent crime dropped 50% where marijuana was legalised but nz law makers don't want that, we did the opposite, our law makers killed dogs to test synthetic which was not required as real weed was already tested, and then sold that unknown substance which was 75 times stronger than real already tested weed. So well being is the last thing to think about, I keep hearing that just in the next years 40% of all jobs are going to be gone, well being ar no. Massive homeless and gangs, its an obligation by law to make money, if something is legal or not money is required to be made, if we have violent gangs sell bats and knives.
We lowered the drinking age knowing beforehand that it would increase violence by 25% in that age group but it was done anyway, well being. Sell alcohol bats and knives. You didn't mention how to make money. I can recycle a plastic bottle here in NZ but its not wanted.logic and sense don't seem to come into it nor well being. Keep looking for ways to make money or stave in the gutter. tell me ten ways to make money, i'm a qualified automotive engineer by the way. I was getting plastic from the rubbish and making it into filament and 3d printing it just out of interest. Obviously today i'm skeptical about current life but that won't pay bills. Get on the board that can sit in front of a whole country and say it costs 26 mil for a $2 flag, and pocket the money. kill some dogs for no reason,,,oh wait for fun. fun drugs. then don't use the results of those deaths just done for the fun of it. Should we aspire to be like our leaders?
Unless you can bring yourself down to that you need to come up with money making methods fast. Tell me ten.
Your video was in un informative, I actually came here to see the 3D house being actually built or at least a concrete explanation on how it works
thetruereality well you saw concrete evidence in the form of a printer that pukes it out to build the framing of a house.
I agree. Where's the steal rebar to reinforce and provide tension to the concrete? They don't explain this at all.
Awesome!! This reduces construction cost and time. What else can you ask for. I am sure they have multiple printer heads that can switch between concrete, wood mixtures, or even Steel.
You are great, man. I love you.
3D printer+me=disaster waiting to happen

ShippyShock they can't eat a giant 3d printer.
FALpwn No need to be hateful
@@FALpwn maybe they could print a giant 3D bug to eat you
Worried about more plastics in the environment, but if houses are built of plastic or cement then it will save our trees, so I am very happy about that. awesome!
People that go to conventions need these things
For now, additive manufacturing is too expensive for mass production of parts. For now the consumer market has nothing to worry. Could it be the doom in the future? We went from had crafted to mass produced in a very short time, the industrial revolution. Possibly, the cost of transportation may make the localization of production more cost effective. This is a question that we will simply have to wait and see the outcome. As to printing a house in 24 hours, well, let's add time like site preparation and installation of in ground services and putting a roof on it and setting up and tearing down the equipment to make it. Cleaning and servicing the equipment during production and after each print cycle. If it were a row of hoses, like after a disaster, maybe 24 hours wouldn't be out of the question. Everything is the same and all the equipment can just move over a few feet for the next house. Much food for thought.
***** ...
***** not going to listen to someone who can't type intellectually.
troll
***** This is true of almost all technologies and you could have come to that conclusion on your own if you had given it any thought. But as is true with most people with small man's disease, you desire to throw about thoughtless comments in order for you to feel better about yourself. I know you would speak to me this way in person. I know you hide in the anonymity of the internet to throw comments at people from behind the guise of anonymity. You say to grow up? Well, I believe it would be intuitively obvious to most casual of observers to whom that comment should be addressed. (in case you didn't understand my comment that failed use monosyllabic words, it is you who needs to grow up, troll ;0)
Katie Love Hue * Thank you for making my point. Have a great life.
This can put millions of carpenters out of work. Yea!
***** And who cares about them? Not me. This means bilions of dollars saved for consumers. Systems of production changes non-stop. Only cowards and socialists try to "protect" those who are useless.
Mbeluba You won't have a job to buy one. You will be on the street.
***** Uh. What a bunch of nonsense. If you are about to lose your job because of market change, you 1) Find another way to make money 2) Starve to death.
And I assure you - most people will choose 1). Rest does not deserve to eat.
Even if for some reason my job will stop being paid enough, I will reeducate myself. Because work is not a right. Work is paid if you are useful to others.
By your logic - we should have stopped car industry and electricity - do you have ANY idea how many horse-boys and lantern keepers have losen their jobs?
And the market collapse that happened afterwards!! Do you remember that? You might not, as it has not happened.
Mbeluba People can become robbers.
***** Oh, of course. I forgot about that possibility.
You whip them, put them in jail or execute them then. Pretty easy solution if you ask me.
This is exactly what the world needs! The housing market has become completely insane! Mortgages nowadays are WAY TOO HIGH! People are paying too much for houses that are garbage! Builders are making their money by cutting corners and putting up houses quickly. As a result, many people are having to sink thousands of dollars more into a NEW home so that it is finally safe and functional! Screw that! This technology is a blessing!
This is progress! We went from the drawing board to AutoCad a virtual Drafting Board, to SolidWorks 3D Modeling. My drawings can be directly imported into a 3D printer and overnight I have a working Prototype! How fantastic is that? What used to take me a month or two to build a Hand Built Prototype made from hundreds of pieces glued together can be printed more exact, and stronger! With these homes I wish they would add a trowel sequence to make the walls smooth.
On the final question: Yes. Additive manufacturing is going to democratize manufacturing, and it spells doom and gloom for the consumer market. Everybody relax. Capitalism is only 500 years old. We're gonna be fine.
It's not a house, it;s a shell. 3D printing is sooooooo over-hyped.
+RandomTaskEHE The printers in the public are quite stone age, but the tech is out there, print a house with electrics plumbing and a car in the shed in say one minute, impossible, not quite that out of reach as you might think.
You'd be supprised at the current level of science but you can't put to many buttons on an invention, i've invented all my life and come to learn you go one button at a time. Some people have had to learn to slow it down as the world just can't handle quick change, so yeah things are ticking along fairly slow. From my point of view its painful to watch but hay i'm trying to get used to knowing but not saying, tho sometimes i like to type late at night, i suppose this is the world tonight, i'll sit here and type to all those people out there who just ain't up on where we are up to, they probably know lots about tomato growing or something which is cool i'm sure.
You sound about as bord as me tonight, or two months ago when you said sooooooooooooooooo
Bye for now and be well from Will and Mr Data :) :]
amazing how far we have come in technology in such little time
Just goes to show Evolution doesn't take millions of years
Hey this is really cool! unbelievable!
Think of this... How many cars do we have in the world today? we already need more gas for cars are other technologies. Imagine with every one getting homes build buy a bigger machine. how much gas will it take? how much money it will actually cost? there is allot to determine and thinking about technology just in our cities building homes 24/7. wonder why we never have hover cars? money. Wonder why the homes of the future are not here yet? money and power sources. We simply cannot just afford for the usage of hover cars and homes of the future. sure we can afford for a few of those nice things but what about space? what about the room we are taking up just for the future to come right now? I say we already got what we need to survive. its just the greedy who wants the newer and better technology. In conclusion, we got food, we have shelter, we got all the stuff we need to live a happy 70 years or so on this earth. Why focus on the future when everything you have is right now happening in front of you? this all is a baloney and we should not allow technology to get the best of ourselves and get us excited and then bummed if it never comes. If you don't want to follow to what I say go ahead and wait for the future, but here this. The world is yours to follow, you can either be on your own path or sit around and wait for others to give you what you want.
if EVERYTHING we manufacter can be 3dprinted...... I can see it having grave implications for the world economy. If there's no need for manufacturing employees, then there's no jobs for all those people... ergo, there's no wages for those same people... service industries can only provide so much work, "gathering industries" such as farming and fishing shouldn't be effected too badly, but what about the sub industries, when people can print their own farming equipment and fishing trawlers, that's a whole chunk of jobs gone.
our current capitalist way of doing things could be in danger...
where does it end?
Apemanwithcalculator i would agree with that but think of all the workers in manufacturing who would no longer be required to produce things. all of those people would be unemployed or at least displaced.. in an idea world no one would work in manufacturing.... but to get to that point a LOT of very difficult changes would have to happen
This innovation has many applications and is surely a blessing unto the world.
When I see this it always reminds me of science fiction movies. When someone loses a limb, there's some machine that 3D graphs the limb back. This is the beginning. This is how it starts. Regenerated bone, cells, and flesh is already readily available. Any part of the anatomy can be looked at in 3D dimension, the only thing left is who and how is the material going to be dispersed. Human at first, than eventually the human hand will be removed.
buy a 3d printer and use it make make more 3d printers and screw over the 3d printing companies
Saw a vid on facebook that showed them 3d print new legs for a dog
Our current 3D printers are very inefficient because they print "dot by dot", and so a 3D printer built with injection molding is actually cheaper than a 3D printer built by a 3D printer. If we can change injection molding so that the mold is flexible, and printable by a 3D printer hmm...
Wow this would eliminate soo many jobs ..
Yes, it would, but it would allow more jobs in the creative industry. Why do mundane work that a robot can do without worrying of health and safety?
yes it would but that's usually the way when you find a more efficient way to do something but it will lower the cost of housing so much you wouldn't need to be working as long to maintain the same living standers the main 2 expenses for people are usually housing then food.
hosing costs less they spend more on other things and jobs open up there like getting faster internet more jobs in satellite dish instillation's more people getting solar panels or building greenhouses hiring gardeners cleaners or getting personal trainers more spent on games and watching and playing sports more refs grounds keepers pepole see there doctores more so more need for doctors and nurses.
douglas alderman Well in conclusion, the simple jobs will be eliminated in the future, forcing more people to take a higher education. Too bad for those people that dont like school so much. Hopefully the educational system will be improved too.
alex rocky if that happen then it will be like the marketing system" supply and demand." since more need to go school, institutes will see a reason to inflate tuition even more than it is now putting a constraint on society and the economy
At current it's in its infancy. The things they're making now may be structurally sound but they are built on the cheap. I'm not sure how much stock I'd put in how weatherproof these structures are just yet. Be that as it may, as the technology improves, this will be a major game changer in small-scale construction. Not sure how it will impact larger buildings, but we'll see.
Sounds good to print cheap, affordable housing to solve the lack of new Starter Home constructions in most of the USA but what I dont like about it is that if the whole house is 3D printed and 1 single combined piece instead of individual pieces of drywall laid next to each other is that if there is a crack or hole made on the wall its likely to affect a larger area since its un (1 piece). One other thing that would be difficult to do would be running wires from the attic to individual rooms (for cable tv, internet, fiber optic cables, speaker cables, electricity, etc) since the walls are solid concrete instead of drywall laid on top of a wooden frame.
i want 3d printing to eliminate manual labor and force people to become more intelligent
+kervens jasmin
You can't "force" someone to be more intelligent. Your premise that those involved in manual labor are not intelligent is extremely faulty and, quite frankly, ignorant.
Just because people are inclined to, or enjoy working with their hands doesn't make them stupid. I've personally learned a lot just by starting to do something as simple are remodeling my house. Working with ones hands can provide a wealth of knowledge unobtainable through other means.
There is more than one kind of intelligence, and you obvious contempt for one you don't prefer may warrant some self-reflection.
***** anyone can remodel a simple house or build it i know what it takes to do those jobs and it is mindlessly easy. I guess people like doing mindless easy things
What you posted has nothing to do with what I said.
+kervens jasmin yeah and let millions of people become jobless? not every 1 can afford higher education num nut
My issue with his/her comment is the assumption that people in these jobs are unintelligent just because they work with their hands. There are plenty extremely smart people out there in labor jobs. Not everyone likes to work indoors at a desk.
Building houses/buildings is also not the same thing as menial labor.
It's also equal fallacy to say that just being uneducated means you aren't intelligent. I've met plenty of brain-dead people with degrees.
Educated =/= intelligent, though many like to think they are...
I would like a 3D Castle. I don't know much about the 3D printing. But I love what I have seen so far.
I think that this is a great idea as long as it remains a cheap way to build a house. It is also nice for people who don't have much money and do not want to get into paying off a huge loan.
Thanks for sharing your information on 3D printed houses in China.
Print 3D is the best! I love this
how do you print the electro wires and water pipes and the furniture that is attatched to the house?
do you take the finished house and open the walls?
does 3D printing replace more than just the framing? are there any printers avail. in Northern California or Oregon?
I love the technology!! It's awesome!!!
The old saying that change is the only constant is true, but I think change in manufacturing has been mostly incremental since Ford's first assembly line, technology being used to augment and improve existing systems rather than replace them, and manufacturing has remained highly centralized. "Prosumer" printers are getting better all the time, and combined with a 3D scanner and a bit of skill with one modeling programs one can print a variety of replacement parts at home instead of ordering them. My hope for the future is that the change is more radical in that it transforms manufacturing in to a distributed decentralized system where small companies supply the items their communities need (not everyone will be able to afford printers, or be interested in owning them), and in turn are supplied by local makers of raw materials. Manufacturing could look something like the internet, with nodes and hubs around the country and world, a resilient web that responds to changing needs quickly and efficiently. I also hope it will drive materials science and research to develop raw materials that are renewable and environmentally responsible. A PLA that combines the properties of nylon, PET and ABS while retaining the ability to be transformed into a compostable material would be fantastic.
One of the question about this type of building materials is how safe are they to live in. ? I am referring to the fact that a lot of these parts using these printers use polymers which are generally oil based. Which are generally very flammable.
As if the way I'm thinking, houses would be just the beginning. Imagine the 3D printer on rails coming to print a new road, or fixing an already existing one, essentially lowering the amount of workers needed.
Would have been nice to see more of the houses and printer.
i would like to see the breakdown sheet. how long does it take to move the printer and gear to the site?
6 years later and I am still waiting on the 3D printed houses.
1. print house - CHECK!
2. print car - CHECK!
3. print food - CHECK!
4. print wife - CHECK!
We're good to go!!
3d printing does not necessarily use less material than "regular manufacturing". Injection moulding of plastic for instance uses just the amount of material the object is made of. It is a technology used by more than half a century and, at the state of the art, allows to mass produce parts which, if compared to 3d printing, have higher quality in terms of strength and finish, at a fraction of the cost and in terms of seconds instead of hours.
I think 3d printing is a big step in the right direction when it comes to getting rid of money. Think about it if our products can be printed at home we won't need alot of manufacturing. Get rid of money and people will have more time to focus on bettering the world.
It is nice to be able to print parts also even if you have a printer that only uses plastic filaments.
The best application i think for this would be on other planets. Using a large 3d printer to build houses on other planets would be a great idea
I think this is TOTALLY AWESOME!!! It kinda feels to me like one of those sciences on another planet though...
We haven't seen anything yet....this is only the beginning.
THANK YOU SIR 💐
This is awesome technology!
If communities would get together and set up this tech we could all have safe homes and to live in
These are so innovative that they could not even show it being done.
That is amazing. I like 3d printing too. I'm dreaming to have small 3d printing machine. Actually I discovered this in Qatar when I was working on my invention. we just prepared the 3d drawing and the machine did it. we add some drawing and reshaping and it was real. Making a houses by 3d printing is some thin i cant imagine but its looks like real too,
Very nice, really cool :-)
Over here I see some people working on building some houses for many month....
This _will_ change the market (I hope) and make houses cheaper.
Cab concrete be recycled? If so you could just
change your house if you get a better idea, add room for more kids, carport...
Does not seem like a complicated machine to me,
maybe could be rented.. Use PC design your own house.
Super excited!
One of the greatest invention I Have ever seen
Sounds amazing
I think it may work first for storage unit and backyard sheds at first , but for a real house we need an updated building code which takes years to get it approved.
Fantastic. Should use all plastics for building materials. Everyone should have a home.
This is great! Anything to lower housing costs and make homes affordable.
Some how some way, capitalism will find a way to make it more expensive
Amazing!
living in this time is so cool!
Very useful technology .
Two words.
Magnificent!! Dangerous!
There has to be an authority which gives permission to people (engineers, architects etc.) to build God damn buildings. It is going viral. Before it gets out of control scientists have to make a policy about printers. But still it's stunning! Manifique! Amazing! Wtf 😱😍
