Building a home with a concrete 3D printer

Seems like some re-bar would be helpful.

I never thought I’d see the day we are using concrete 3D printers to build houses. But I’m dumb, 🙃 Here’s how it goes though‼️ You design your dream home on a computer. That design goes straight to the 3D printer, which layers concrete one on top of the other, creating your home's structure. Now, you might be thinking, "How fast is this?" Well, it's incredibly quick compared to traditional building, cutting the time down from months to just weeks or even days. And the cost? Much lower, thanks to less labor, less waste, and speedier construction. Imagine having the freedom to design homes with shapes and structures that traditional methods can't touch. These homes are built tough, ready to take on whatever Mother Nature throws at them. But, hold on, there are some challenges. The tech's still young, so not everyone has these printers lying around, and building codes are still playing catch-up. It's great for the main structure, but you'll still need humans for the nitty-gritties like plumbing and electrics. From the US to Europe, and even in places like India, they're using these printers to build homes. It's showing us what's possible when you blend technology with creativity. So, would you try building your next home with a printer? It's not just construction; it's a whole new way to think about where we live. (📸 robots .net)

Hope it’s sturdy

This will mess up a lot of jobs for ppl. Y’all need to stop with all this

That's just too cool! I want to see the finished product, though!

Looks fancy but not structurally sound. I'd love to read a structural engineers report on this. My guys will stick to brick in the meantime.

Won't go up on flames in a wildfire

I hope this becomes more of a thing because it cuts down soo much time and work while being more safer to do

How strong will a house made of just concrete be?
