GIANT 3D Printers Make Ten Houses in Only a Day!

Share on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1tNWcwW When it comes to 3D printers, size isn't an issue. A Chinese company called Winsun has used giant 3D printers to build ten houses in only a day! This technology is saving money, labor, and time, and has big implications for housing development. Are you ready to print your dream home of the future? What do you think about 3D printing? Will it democratize manufacturing, or is it spelling the doom of the consumer market?

1. I'd like a plastic house that can withstand anything
2. 3d printing will surly add to the market and future designers needs.
3. You aren't a scientist by the way. You're just a high functioning retard.
4. How long did the houses stay up? Yeah. That's what I thought.
5. I hope to see dozens of competing contour craft companies.
   Printing houses will open up a new and competitive industry.
   Other companies will enter the market and print their own styles of houses.
   Consumers will benefit because they will be able to choose between various competing companies.
   This will drive down the prices of contour crafted houses!
   Supply and demand for contour crafted houses is what free market is all about!
6. It will sooner or later cost way too much Just for the upkeep on the 3D printer! Everyone who ever had a printer of any kind knows they will break down after 2 to 3 months!
7. I disagree because bob the builder does it in 23hrs 59seconds!
8. Trump won't need to build the wall as they'll all go home.
9. but not all materials could be 3D printed, like metal, wood, and paper/wallboard. Non-printable materials have properties printable ones don't. Some assembly would be required for them.
10. What about the electrical? an plumbing?
11. $5 grand. Wow.
12. nice
13. This is the third wave of tech which is going to make employment of construction workers almost negligible. With automated driving in vehicles which will unemploy up to 40% of the current American work force, that will destroy our economy and reduce us to abject poverty. The only way out will be to begin establishing permanent basic income to all citizens as Nixon proposed in the early 1970's.
14. Awesome!! This reduces construction cost and time. What else can you ask for. I am sure they have multiple printer heads that can switch between concrete, wood mixtures, or even Steel.
15. can we 3d print any kind of very hard steel to replace broken parts of an engine? where? how?
16. People say it would be no more jobs here is how i think:1.
    Science develope new technology that means less jobs but they also make new jobs it just like farming before people haved jobs to collect crops now people have jobs to operate machines that can do that so that just makes people more safe
    2.Science also discovers new ways to produce metal how to make robots new building designs and other that makes new and better jobs and think is lots of people love to use computer so limiting labor is good because why someone with finance degre have to work in factories
    3.Demand and supply:When science make easier to make crops or something that will make better supply thus means more food and less food prices and when demand become bigger companies will make more machines and make more jobs to poerate this machine
    Hope this will make u feel better and sorry because of writing im not english:)
17. this is really awesome....
18. 3d printing will change the way we live. 3d printers are what computers were 40 years ago. My concern is that the filaments are toxic in doors and for that reason 3d printers are not truly desk top.
19. It's be interesting if there were environmental 3D printers for reconstruction of reefs & wetlands?
20. I don't see him being able to get a building permit for a full scale house without hiring a structural engineer. The building codes would be a significant challenge.
