Much-Needed US Housing Expansion May Go Through 3D Printed Homes
Fifteen years ago, when discussion of 3D-printed anything was broached, it was likely centered on 3D-printed guns, a flash in the alarmist media pan. More auspiciously, today, the same technology, albeit scaled, is emerging. Or rather, stacking up. Using a largely labor-free method of pouring concrete in a highly methodical, layered fashion, homes constructed using 3D-printing technology reduce build time and cost by orders of magnitude, resulting in lower home prices than those generally prevailing nearby.
