Prime case costruite utilizzando la tecnologia di costruzione 3D completata a Louth

Amazing. Now build 100,000 more, per year, for, many many years.

This seems amazing. Like genuinely amazing. Is there any downsides not covered in the article? I’m actually curious, because it could be the solution to the massive labour shortage in the market. We obviously still have to solve planning and infrastructure, but something to solve the labour part would be class.

So… The most important question. Is it cheaper?

These are definitely not the first 3d printed homes. There’s a Chinese company that printed 10 structures (4 walls and a roof) back in 2014 in 24 hours. This same company built a turn key siheyuan style house, out of masonry construction waste. It came with one of the nicest features, an outer wall that channeled rain water to built in planter’s.

Edit: turn key wasn’t wholly accurate. Plumbing and electrical obviously still required after printing. Which they had done.

I live in the area and to see them being built was great. I’m not sure if it’s a feasible technology at the moment. I know a few builders around the area that say it costs more than a home built using traditional construction methods. In saying that if every council had one and hired people to run it I can’t see how it would be more than a private company building “social/affordable” housing for a minimum of €400k.

Great news but couldn’t they 3d print a pattern on the wall or something? Looks like a house from the Sims.
