The Chinese love concrete because they don’t have trees: burned centuries ago for heat.

Still, for a prototype, this is amazing.

Does it “print” glass windows too? Or is “building homes” just a lot of hype?

Made in China. Chances of getting a serious environmental ailment while living in the house: 100%. Plus concrete has very little thermal insulation.
It’s a good start, but there are some things to be addressed.

'the printer eliminates the need for paid construction workers, these houses are extremely cheap to produce. When it’s all said and done, each 650 sq. foot home only costs about $4,800 to produce"Which is why they won't come ro the USA.
