Giant Chinese 3D printer builds 10 houses in just 1 day

[Hamartia Antidote]

This has great potential in areas hit by natural disaster

Could even print bridges if they had collapsed/washed away.

this is more practical than the one currently in development by some scandinavian company. they are working on a 3d printer to print one whole house in one go. fking ridiculous..lol.

Crude as hell but a layer of plaster will set it right.
About disaster relief, I think that light weight temporary shelters are more pragmatic - flying in large concrete panels is cumbersome and slow.

Good for rapid urbanization and far better than some of the tofu construction methods adopted by dodgy developer.

Will they have to come up with new building code for these 3D houses? Could be a nightmare to certify some designs...

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 was presented in China too, the difference is who implemented it first.

Dont know about the cost and durability. Questions about sewage, water and electricity connections
Agree with some of the posters above they'll be offering as more comfortable shelters in disaster stricken areas Or in the mountaineers' base camps

meh, butthurt Vietcong
