Could this be used for sections of the border wall?

Saw a video of a robot building a cinder block wall and mortaring the joints a few months ago. Pretty cool.

Construction is about to undergo a revolution. So is agriculture with robots doing a lot of work farmers used to do like seeding and harvesting.

Ooh, a 500 sq. foot. ‘barracks.’ Must be for enlisted personnel.

Does the 40 hours include setting up and taking the 3D printer? And how quickly could some slip forms for the same sized structure be set up?

Gee whiz for the sake of gee whiz.

The world's largest concrete 3D printer constructs a 500-square-foot barracks hut at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center in mid-August in Champaign, Illinois. (U.S. Marine Corps courtesy photo)

20 X 25 in 40 hrs? Nice start, but a crew can erect precast slabs and trusses in an 8 hr day.

They’ll need to slick up the printing process to compete.

500 square feet is marginal at best for a barracks. Maybe senior NCO quarters, six or so occupants.

It might be concrete but it's not reinforced concrete. Where are the steel reinforcing rods?

This is a very modest structure, about 22 feet square, about the size of a two car garage. A human crew could build a stronger structure of the same dimensions in the same amount of time easily. A trained crew that reused the forms could do it in half the time or better.

3d printing! One of the most overused phrases in modern history!
