Are 3D Printed Houses The Future?

@TheProjectUnity people can buy a house for 1-15k depending on the size...I got more ideas to go along with this too...

@TheProjectUnity Aren't there any iron fittings?

@TheProjectUnity Nice

@TheProjectUnity Tatooine houses

@TheProjectUnity That sledge hammer isn't going to do anything. He needs a copper chisel.

@TheProjectUnity Yes. I am a builder, and I believe stick-framed houses are no longer economically viable. Construction materials are inflating, but not as quickly as the labor needed to build them. There needs to be a way to simplify and automate construction.

@TheProjectUnity Bees are 3D printers.

@TheProjectUnity How do you run utilities through these houses?

@TheProjectUnity Yes! That one is at ICON’s test area (it’s not how the finished house would look) but at higher volumes I believe the build cost will cut in half, hopefully more Imagine your mortgage payment the same price as a car payment in the future… massive benefit to humanity

@TheProjectUnity I call bullshit. I have been in construction, poured concrete and built homes since 1985. The would have to be some sort of reinforcement steel or fiber rebar. Even commercial fiber 750 mix would help tremendously but it’s so thick you can’t pump it like that even with super-p.

@TheProjectUnity Metal shaving infused aircrete. I cannot stress enough how much building code inhibits affordable housing.

@TheProjectUnity I m working on a little something that would make that concrete house even better..and no...not hempcrete....but that is a wicked upgrade too

@TheProjectUnity I’ve never seen how plumbing and electrical are supposed to be embedded in these concrete walls. Any idea?

No one will have money for this. Who's going to print it? A machine in a factory with maybe one human worker. And for whom? The starving masses? It's cool, but useless. Instead, teach people to make mud bricks. That's useful for the future. we both know where we are heading... In about 50k to 100k years from now a new you will be asking these same questions about the same things :D

@TheProjectUnity @grok let’s say Elon is read ls Real and Alive still I am certain that being could answer all those questions which world help America understand Truth.

@TheProjectUnity They’ve been the future for 10 years. Still waiting.

@TheProjectUnity Foundations and roofs take the longest to construct. Walls are not the time nor cost constraint in building. Count the number of people feeding material to the CNC and setup and monitoring vs a team of carpenters building conventional walls.

@TheProjectUnity Yea, I totally can't wait to live inside an upside down clay pot.

@TheProjectUnity I love the idea but I'm waiting to hear how these structures deal with shifting grounds.

@TheProjectUnity How sad is it that we have the technology to make the most beautiful ethnofuturistic architecture as easy as possible and we still make globohomo houseslop with it instead?

@TheProjectUnity I am willing to have my land as a testing ground for it

@TheProjectUnity No, but it'd work well for building a base on mars with robots.

@TheProjectUnity After weather expansion/contraction, how do the cracks and spalling get fixed?

@TheProjectUnity Calling BS. Concrete doesn't act that way. It needs forms and rebar.

@TheProjectUnity And that ugly thing is still the same price as a regular home when its finished out with insulation, roofing, electrical, and plumbing.

@TheProjectUnity Short answer no fucking way. Long answer yes but id never live in one.

@TheProjectUnity Wait until the government enforces "codes" on these, they will be made unaffordable by lobbyists in the materials and construction industries. I have been a carpenter since 1976 aa a teenager (well laborer for a couple of years, no one starts at the top!)

@TheProjectUnity 3D PRINTED HOMES, 3D PRINTED MEGALITHS, THEN 3D DUG UNDERGROUND CAVERNS, 3D CARVED STONE TEMPLE, 3D POWERED POLARIZED GRANITE SPACESHIPS

@TheProjectUnity No. Not now. You still plumbing, electrical, insulation, HAVC. If this was Africa then ya you just made it possible to create 12 new villages or Florida where god just sends angry wind to destroy everything once a year.

@TheProjectUnity No they are the past youtu.be/kMKp5qx4XkM?si…

@TheProjectUnity Let’s test them against tornado speed projectiles, like 2x4s at 160mph.

@TheProjectUnity Absolutely. The reason this hasn't took over the house building is the inertia of using wood. I would totally live in a 3D printed house.

@TheProjectUnity Measure the air quality inside that plastic coffin.

@TheProjectUnity I heard they are going to be using this tech on the moon to build structures
