ᐅ What do you think about 3D-printed houses?

Today, I saw a house made with a 3D printer for the first time in an illustration, and I can say I like it. Rounded, organic shapes, arches, curves. What do you think about 3D-printed houses, what do you know about them, and do you think they have a future?

Thank you. 🙂

Although I like 3D printing, I don’t think the technology is advanced enough for construction yet. Maybe it’s suitable for social housing projects, where you can build the same apartment building 50 times 😉

I see this more as a gimmick:

Ultimately, it’s a poured concrete house, but the necessary grooves for piping and wiring still have to be milled out afterwards.

There’s no sign of insulation on the exterior walls according to today’s standards, not even with lightweight concrete.
Who would want a raw poured interior wall?
Usually, these have to be smoothed and plastered afterwards.

Pouring intermediate floors, lintels, etc.?
Probably not.

There’s nothing here that convinces me.
Not even if they want to do it on the moon…

The idea is great, the prototypes look neat, and printed houses will surely offer a whole new architectural freedom and ultimately provide cost advantages. If the currently developing CO2-neutral concrete can also be used, it will be a significant step forward for the construction industry.

I find the system good.
The show home is appealing, a multi-family house is under construction.

I think the concept is really great. It’s similar to other industries. In the past, you needed to know how an engine is assembled; today, you need to be able to operate the corresponding robot. I believe the concept has a lot of potential. More freedom for homeowners and simplification for contractors.
