    Somehow I think that geek/presenter has never gotten his hands dirty, let alone worked on any construction site from go to whoa. Hence he skims over any/all details of real world issues. ie foundation prep, weather, testing of functions at install etc.

    As a poster previous said, prefab, then assembled on site has alot more going for it.
    Build a house in twenty hours Give me a break.
    The JWs build one in 24 , fully carpeted and painted , the framing of my house was all lazer cut and assembled in a factory , still took 3 months to build

    its great , think it , draw it. print it and if its a non stressed part , use it as is

    The range if materials you can print with is expanding all the time , with ceramics being cheap ,,,

    Size is still a factor though

    And its great for one-off or small run production, but all of those items have better production processes when volume is scaled up.

    So something that sounds even simpler on paper, took three months to build. Not looking good for a 20 hour house!

    Gosh what negative thinking.

    The time frame of 20 hours isn't outrageous compared to what the Chinese are already doing...

    15 story hotels in 48 hours



    and 30 story Hotels in 360 hours.



    A single house in 20 hours is just plain slow.

    Negative thinking? We were just explaining how pre-fab housing is a better mass production solution, something those very cool time-lapse vids support also...

    Don't get me wrong, I think it is cool tech, and would be very cool to see houses made that way, I just think he has the wrong target market.

    It was only directed at your last sentence.

    I think it has potential in some areas where existing conventional support manufacturing industries don't exist and that eventually this or some similar toothpaste dispensing type transportable construction system will be employed for a percentage of all construction all over the world (due to cost advantages as the technology is developed and scale of economy for the equipment manufacturing kicks in)

    horses for courses...i wouldnt use 3d for large production runs but for what i do,its great,
    the technology will evolve and cost may come down
    my house was built using mass production methods ,where it took the time was the finishing, if they could be automated..and i cant see why not...
    i mean they can build a car with very little human input....

    all it will take is for someone to think they could make money.....(assuming the materials work)

    cant be done is a classic ,british,kiwi way of thinking,,,,i prefer "can be done and how can we do it"

    Wouldn't be much use with a non working engine, guess you'd have to scan each individual part to make that one work
