This has probably been covered here before but this is the first I've heard of 3D printed houses and it really seems like a cool idea. The majority of the house is built with a mortar that's a combination of recycled building materials and concrete, then they add the windows, doors, electrical and such. I found a couple of videos showing how some companies are doing it.
There's a whole lot of videos on you-tube and Facebook of ways that nonprofits are using the technology to build houses for people in developing countries and such. They also point out that they can be in any shape, so some people are saying it's a chance to start having homes that are more organic and creative in their shapes since it doesn't cost any more than making a box shape.
The cost seems to be dropping fast, the way it does with any new technology. The first houses I saw were fancy ones that were specially printed in exotic locations for around $32k and then there were a lot of stories about 3D printed houses costing less than $10k. Now they're saying they hope the next batch for a large-scale project will be under $4k each and I imagine it could get lower from there, especially with smaller houses.
Just thought it was cool and thought others might be interested.
