    Stupid me, I was actually expecting a tour of a 3d printed home

      agrred, but they did show the 600 sq ft prototype, and its small, so how much of a “tour” can they really do lol

      @Zombl337 only 600 sq ft yet they couldn’t show all of it

    House looks so cool and definitely the future. The presenter of the video though my god he has no charisma and was so boring when he was talking. Wish he was more excited about the video.

    wouldn’t be more susceptible to fire?

    I really wonder about it structural integrity versus a stick built or a steel built home.

    You’re essentially using particleboard, or glued wood dust with a polymer. I’m very curious what other components are in it, unless it’s really that simple. Then I worry about fire, earthquakes, hurricanes, you name it.

    In terms of cost, that doesn’t sound terrible, but the structural integrity and durability are Questionable At Best🤨

    The problem with 3-D printing, with any material, is you have to cure it or put it in an oven. How are they doing that?

    How is this any better than using recycled wood and gluing it and making a board?

    Is it April 1st already?! What a joke. What’s the matrix the sawdust is suspended in? I’ll consider it when Al Gore, Bill Gates, and Obama get rid of their oceanfront mansions and move into their printed tiny homes.

    The fire fighter in me wants to know how flammable is the house? Printable houses is a great idea.

      I was thinking the same thing. Any fire retardant material probably wouldn’t be very recyclable or sustainable. I know mass timber/laminated timber buildings actually have a level of fire safety by design where the outside wood chars and actually slows the burning process.

      I don’t like the idea of it being wood. Termites, wood soaks up water. Water line busts. Sustainability isn’t nice if you have to grind the forests to bits to do this.

    Solving the housing crisis isn’t a matter of construction, but it is a matter of car-centric infrastructure and single-family zoning.

    No one cares about how it is made. Land prices matter.

  10. That’s right

    If you want affordable housing, let’s start by getting rid of property taxes!

    Trees make great lumber and can be constantly replanted. This is nonsense.

    Recyclable? This is stupid using forest trees

    I would this for my mother in her golden years but there’s no way it would withstand strong winds or heavy snow in Ohio

    Do you think there’s a way to combine this with aspects of earthships?

    What about stress testing? Get a drunk to get mad and punch a few holes in the wall.

    Come inside, and see the bones of the people who lived here when a minor storm hit and killed them all.
