  1. Nice
  2. William Gibson's novel that had a skyscraper being built 24/7 via giant 3D printer. At the time I couldn't even conceive of it. 20 years out if progress goes in a straight line whole buildings inside and out or how about whole islands and buildings like in Diamond Age by Stephenson. Nano 3D printers or assemblers.
  3. someone can tell me the name of the song?

    alguien me puede decir el nombre de la cancion?
  4. Please enough already,with this idea.
  5. I'm seeing a lot of ignorant and foolish replies to this video. Comments like "because we all want to live in mud huts" and "it's too slow" and "how would you even get the equipment on location?"

    Mud is just a building material.It's not like they would just throw up a mud wall with a thatched roof and walk away. Look at the video. The wall is made with voids, which alone will act as insulation by trapping air, and could be filled with expanding foam for an even greater degree of insulation. This could potentially create a super sturdy, super insulated structure. Cob is essentially mud with some straw thrown in, and there are cob structures which have been standing and in use in Wales for over 400 years. Don't think that just because it's mud that it's weak. Once the mud dries, it's essentially stone. Put a good roof over it, and give it a thin coat of some sort of water proofer, and it will last for centuries with little to no maintenance.

    Regarding "it's too slow", dude, that's a miniaturized prototype for building small model examples. A production model would have a much larger nozzle, and would probably be running half a dozen nozzles at a time. I've seen something like this already in production in Asia which uses cement in lieu of mud. It can print a full sized home in 1 day with almost no human labor.

    Regarding "how would they get the equipment on location" ... gosh, if only someone would invent some sort of large powerful vehicle. Maybe one that can tow a long flat platform on wheels capable of carrying large heavy equipment for long distances. Geez ... it's just too bad nothing like even exists. You're right, this is impossible because apparently no one has ever bothered to invent THE DELIVERY TRUCK.  (What in the name of my sweet balls is going on here? How is it possible so many world class morons have all been attracted to this one message thread? YES, I'm looking at YOU!)
  6. The quality is also worse then the Chinese, Cement would work better. 
  7. This is just copying the Chinese they built 10 houses in one day.They used cement instead. 
  8. yeah that's right, print those houses you lil bitch, little do you know that what you are doing is supporting the drug cartels
  9. Nice idea, except a few problems.
    1) You have to get the printer there.
    2) You need to generate power for it.
    3) What about replacement parts?
    4) How long do the structures last?

    The problem is, you end up making a culture that is able to somewhat take care of itself using local materials and skills
    and make them reliant on 1st world tech which they can't support. 

    The main "problem" that this solves is that it saves "time".
    Thing is, that's a resource they have to spend and if they plan well, its works well.
  10. Awesome I love it!
  11. Bill Gates sez: "I want to build houses from poop!"
  12. i reminds me of the fifth element,when they start using this to rebuild limbs or heal humans that will be sick(ok no pun intended )
  13. A future version of this machine could go to The Moon or Mars.  Swap the mud for a plastic resin supplied from Earth and fill the gaps with dust from the surface of your host rock.   
  14. The concept is nice, but in practice it is horrible. The printer is so slow that it would take 10x longer then 2 humans to do the same thing with mud. and you still need humans to feed the mud hopper. 

    While it is a good step in the direction of cheap fast  housing it is still a long way off from being something practical for that field. 
  15. This is simply awesome because every place that uses mud as the main construction material has an abundant supply of electricity to build something taller than a 2 foot mud wall.  Or the infrastructure in place to get the printer to the locale.

    Cart - Horse.
  16. Yeah because we all want mud huts.. fucking stupid. 
  17. it would be good to get some costings vs moulded mud bricks
  18. Secondo me conviene stampare i singoli mattoni con 4/5 stampanti e assemblare il tutto in maniera più veloce usando degli incastri per fissare i mattoni.
