    Yeah I wonder how much it cost to build that "printer".


    It does look pretty interesting though.

    People don't realize that 3D printing is not yet a very efficient way to build things. It takes hours to create very small parts and one ****up could ruin days of work. Now if you have a warehouse with the manpower to setup the machines, it can be practical, but I guarantee those parts are not being made as quickly as most people think.

    So you need construction waste materials in order to have building material for this 3D printer.............:confused:

    Moes, but if you saw the video the guy stated it took 1 day for 1 floor on the 3story apartment building. I say that is damn quick. They are basically using a cement like material on a industrial style 3d printer.

    Concrete extruder. Impressive, but still probably more costly when machine depreciation is factored in.

    But once you build the printer, you could print more printers using the printer you built........

    Is it a multifunction printer that can scan and copy houses as well?

    How can you have a 3D printer that's big enough to print a house? What is this? Is it supposed to be a house for ants? How can we be expected to live in a 3D printed house if there isn't a 3D printer big enough to print that house?
