They want to be part of the “solution”. Look at me virtue signaling.

Don’t forget printing an in-law suite for a border crossing family.

Doesn’t 3D printing use oil based products?

This home is in violation of 247 local zoning ordinances and 317 state environmental regulations.
The legal costs to fight this will exceed a million dollars.

I remember using pre-stressed concrete to build apartments in 1978. I believe pre-stressed is the correct word.

On the fence, waiting to see how these structures hold up over time. Seems to be solid, but solid concrete has its disadvantages too - forget making improvements, room additions and remodels for you weekenders and your wives who seem to live for it.
Wondering also what will the drywallers, carpenters, roofers, etc do when their jobs evaporate. I’d imagine the plumbers and electricians will still be needed but to a lesser degree. But I can’t imagine too many Juans or Joses fresh from the border will be needed to run the 3-D machines.

Haven’t printed concrete homes already failed and been torn down?
We’ve known how to build fire-resistant homes for decades without going to printed concrete:

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is an ultra-light concrete masonry product. It can weigh as little as 1/5 as much as ordinary concrete due to its distinct cellular structure featuring millions of tiny pockets of trapped air. This cellular structure gives AAC a number of exceptional physical characteristics.

Oddly if you live in a dry climate like in the Southwest, the best building material is 1000s of years old and used originally in the Middle East and North Africa.
