Topic: Giant Chinese 3D printer builds 10 houses in just 1 day o_O - page 4. (Read 3142 times)
This will be extremely useful for aid after natural disasters! Ship a 3D printer to the hit zone and families get shelters in hours.
Printing costs are ~75% lower than traditional building approach costs. So it will be very helpful for corporate sector (offices, industrial buildings et cetera).
It is not that great. It is just simple shack. 2 walls, 2 wall windows and roof. It is improvement of course over cardboard box but who would like a house like that? Probably only the poorest of the poor.
Poorest of the poor?
Imagine how we can use it:
let say a building site - offices and staff's rooms could be done 3D printing instead of wasting a fuel and money
Second great idea : a 3d printed camp site near a sea site
Or - how to build a garage?
3d print it.True although I have seen a couple shenanigans from China not just in construction but even food and that's a bit harder to detect.

Oh god... that was really disgusting. Why the government and the cops are allowing this to happen. Almost threw up after watching that video. I will never eat anything from the outside if I ever visit China.

He-he Well at least its not made out of garbage this time
Cough the garbage bridge of China

Well.. it is in China. So those responsible for this theft, and corrupt practice will be severely punished and they public funds which were stolen will be recovered from them. Still.. it is such an embarrassment.

Unless it is an exploding watermelon (HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET IT TO EXPLODE) was the question that got into my mind lol

In my perspective a 3D printed house is a giant step forward though
Even if it is a bit more like a Shanty Town or Shed than a real house at least its better quality than the stuff above lol.

That said it has potential since 3D printing is awesome

It is not that great. It is just simple shack. 2 walls, 2 wall windows and roof. It is improvement of course over cardboard box but who would like a house like that? Probably only the poorest of the poor.
And maybe it'll be most beneficial to the poorest of the poor then.

Saw this report on Global National. These houses are approx 10x stronger than standard building materials. So they will be great for earthquake zones.
These things would be great in disaster zones or could even be used to build better shanty towns etc.
Next they will be printing cars, robots, airplanes, tanks and ships. 3D Printers will decide who win the war in the future.
If this is possible:

then printing cars, robots, airplanes, tanks and ships is also possible.

That is perfect. The manual errors are eliminated and the cost is reduced by many times. What more do we need? I really hope that within the next 2-3 years, majority of the construction activity will be done by 3D printing.

You can always add on more rooms anyway with the modular design.

If they could construct 10 shacks in just 24 hours, then they might be able to construct at least one normal house in the same 24 hour time period. It is a promising feat, a proof of Chinese innovation.
Nice find, thanks for posting this. I think there will be many more interesting stories as 3D printing technology advances over time.

The article doesn't offer that much information, but this seems to be comparable to Contour Crafting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_crafting). That being the case, it is actually pretty cool: typical construction is extremely inefficient, time consuming, usually requiring a lot of man power and producing a lot of waste; but these processes can change all that.
And to your point of it being a simple shack, in Contour Crafting at least, the idea is to have a "printer" that can handle the construction of a building following a blueprint that can be arbitrarily complex. In fact NASA has apparently funded them to develop the technology further, with a possible usage being the construction of lunar structures.
Great, just great. Everytime a new version of Windows is released, you'll have to buy a new printer and build a new house.

Wow!
I knew that 3D printing will revolutionize manufacture
3D printed houses, toys, tools, guns ...
soon everything will be printed ...
