Print A New House With A 3D Printer

Yep...you can print out a house with a 3D Cement Printer. Amazing

That was on the Phoenix news last night. Pretty messy looking on the outside painted white but the interior looked normal, they covered up the layers. Should be quiet .

Sort of reminded me of slump block construction, popular in the southwest because it supposedly mimics adobe. With some imagination.

Nice technology, probably more sturdy and fewer air leaks when compared to sticks!

I bet you can heat that place with a lightbulb. Nice and quiet too, good thing with the drive-thru speaker right behind the house. I wonder how many people are on site for that “printing” when it’s not the first one? Pouring the footings to hold the printer is a bit more work but I guess they can be shared between nearby houses in this type of neighborhood.

I think this is the future, especially in hurricane and tornado prone areas. Now if the roof can somehow be sturdier.

I would love to be done with wood and siding. Put in some good windows and a metal roof, and it's perfect for Texas and all its wind and hail and driving rain. Until the category 3 rolls in.

You can actually do a concrete roof below the rafters, this would be a big plus!!!
