That's rather impressive. The houses aren't attractive, but they're very fast and cheap. This technology has made truly amazing strides in the 30 years since Chuck Hull first invented it. I doubt he thought this sort of thing would be possible when he made his first 3D printer.

Makes home improvement so much easier, just print the wife an extension of the kitchen she want, hehehe, on second thought, the wife might go printing crazy...

Construction industry will try to oppose it tooth and nail since this might render them jobless ... will cheap housing become a reality soon ?

Wow!!! This is incredible.

This is best way to provide homes for extremely poor population

This topic was there in one of the threads. But no doubt a good idea.

China's 3D technology is surely amazing.

Actually, the authorities still not allow to build this kind of house ... due to safety aspect

I read that this technology was first presented and written at US university and it talks about use this technology in Space too.

Well this Chinese company says that they have a secret recipe to dry cement in a day and they use waste material to create these houses. One such house costs 5000 USD .

This has great potential in areas hit by natural disaster

I had the same thoughts...esp if they can "print" some quick cheap shelters for victims of natural disasters or even refugees...
