      Are you personally invested in some 3D house printing start up or what? Affordable housing starting with an expensive construction material (concrete) for the walls is not happening. You have a concrete frame, wow. The housing market has been saved!

        Concrete is a local building material, if you live someplace where it needs to hauled in, it’s pricey, so if you live near quarries, it’s dirt cheap. Location matters.

        And yeah, some places literally need just a shell for their exterior, this fits that usecase.

          That’s a really good point. Location of the home.

          Concrete shell exterior I’m all about. I’m just at my limit with this other yahoo telling me one technician is building the entire house. Just at my limit with outlandish fairy tale claims.

            No, you’re totally wrong about that.

            A modular kitchen would have hookups anyone can install, even a homeowner, so why couldn’t a technician?

            Make custom ones for your printed home design, and install them, and hook them up to the mains that were installed by someone licensed. Just like a trailer or mobile home. This isn’t new stuff like the other user said mate.

              I could be, would not be the first time!

              I am asking, who is running the lines through the walls to the hookups? My understanding is that the conduit will be in between the two 3D printed walls, and you run the wiring through that. But your technician is the one running the wiring?? That is what I don’t get. And besides that fact, I still have seen zero evidence of the 3D printed technician doing it.

                Like in offices when they run extension cords in cable channels? If it’s truely modular, have wiring harnesses and those get dropped in midprint like the windows, electricians are more for the hookups and wiring calculations, but if those are done in a factory and certified (like any other electronic) what’s the difference?

                How experienced in construction are you?
