what year that will be real ??! not soon plus there are/will be other alternatives to concrete in future.

Not any time soon: "Partially funded by the Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation Countour Crafting is trying to develop 3D printed buildings using concrete."

Key words 'is trying to'. Just like there are loads of people trying to find the cure for cancers most probably.

Actually, I'm under the impression it's far more along than that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdbJP8Gxqog. I could be wrong, but it seems to me there are no major technological hurdles to overcome.

Also, from wikipedia:

Not any time soon: "Partially funded by the Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation Countour Crafting is trying to develop 3D printed buildings using concrete."

Key words 'is trying to'. Just like there are loads of people trying to find the cure for cancers most probably.

YES,
and why would they spend taxpayer money while the current market technologies are more than efficient i mean why change the game towards 3D printing with all progress in hand, the operation is fairly enough automated and with the 3D printing is the aim to a full automation?
new ideas and innovation.

Current building technologies are very inefficient, produce a lot of waste and require a large workforce, by comparison to this method.

Here is a much more accurate look at he contour crafting concrete 3D Printing discussed here:

No doubt this is the future of building.  3D Printing is the future period!

3D printing will revolutionize the future and end alllll poverty Smiley

That is cool, hopefully they can also use material like metals to strengthen the building..

That would be pretty cool and this whole 3D printing technology is probably going to be revolutionary, but I wouldn't get your news stories and current affairs/events from Alex Jones' Infowars  Grin.
