@60minutes: “Stronger, faster, termite resistant, fire resistant, like by a mile this is the best way to build,” says Jason Ballard of Icon, a 3D printing construction company. Traditional construction workers may disagree. #60minutes #3dprinting #homebuilding #construction
Funny thing is printed homes are supposed to be a fraction of the price but builders using this method are charging the same or more than conventional builds.

He is not mentioning the printed wall cannot bear weight (floor or roof above) and you still have to insulate and run your electrical, HVAC and plumbing.

Maybe if they give it a smooth or flat stucco texture, it wouldn’t look so “printed” 🤷♂️

So the plumbing and electrical is buried within the cement. How do you get to it if there’s a problem

It’s amazing that Leslie still has a job. She is by far one of the worst all-time journalists. I wonder if she’s going to ask this guy, any tough questions

There will never be a point where these are drastically more affordable than a normal home. As soon as it's streamlined private equity will buy up the building companies and repackage them as some sort of unique home that should cost more

Show me the roof and ceiling. Adding/changing mechanicals is a pain. Remodeling harder. No character, everyones house would look the same.

I just can’t get behind the look of it. And when we’re talking about a home where you spend all your time, that’s an important thing!

Originally a NASA concept from the Deep Space Blue (Journey to Mars) project I was on. I was describing the future scene and they asked how the habitats got there. I responded: I assumed you sent automated 3D printers up there like you do with robots.

You better like the layout forever, what if you want to change it up? Or even add an outlet?

Then the wall gets covered inside and out plus insulation.....at least 4 layers. And it's not cheaper.
