If you've never built a home... Additive printing technology is a cool concept for home construction. However, there are a few things to know if you've never built a house. First, the exterior of a home always goes up in a matter of days or a few weeks depending on structure size and crew size... regardless of the technology use. For example, if I use SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels), I could standup all exterior walls in a day or two and frame and frame and sheath the roof the next day. Second, the exterior covering (stucco, clapboards, etc.) gets added to the concrete/sheathing/cinder blocks, etc., followed by windows, skylights, roof covering, etc. Before that you typically Tyvek/seal the outside of the house. But again, all of this is done within the first few days or weeks. It's the inside of the house that take months... electric, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, taping, painting, finish carpentry (kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, inside doors, floor moldings, window moldings, door moldings, crown moldings, etc.). If your walls are concrete, all of this work is much more difficult, or, you need to take additional steps before drywalling. The point here is that, while cool, 3D printing your walls will not save you time, and, at this time, actually costs more than the alternatives.

Thats pretty cool, can't wait to see what other designs this can print, I could see this easily doing an adobe style design with a shingle roof. Then you can pain't the it tan for the look, and I bet with the walls being so thick it would retain temperature easy.

When I first heard of this idea years ago I thought it was very intriguing. Seeing it in action makes me see the benefits but I was surprised to see that its use appears to be limited to outside walls. I would be really interesting to see the whole house structure built this way: inner and outer walls together. Just start with a level base, start the print and have the on-site crews installing things such as rebar and electrical or plumbing access ports as it goes, followed by a different crew coming it to top it off with a pre-built metal roof. Then seal with PVC windows and fibreglass doors and finish the walls with plaster and PVC trim. Zero wood used. But i really like this concept.

Rebar as I understand is meant to provide tensile strength to concrete, and since the wall structures are likely only experiencing compression, rebar isn’t as necessary in them as in, say, an overpass or the concrete frame of a high-rise. Also, I think earlier in the vid they show some small pieces of steel crossing the interstice of a wall. Those might be what they use to maintain tensile strength where needed.

Not likely to happen. A 3d printer thowing lines of plastic can achieve an overhang because the layers bond quickly and stick, and the lines are thin and light. A dome must be self supporting on the way up if it's built without centering, meaning at a minimum you need to each circular level supported. Tough to do that with a thick glop of concrete.

Again, I don't think this is the best way of building... But there are some niches where it fits perfectly.

I wish they would have shown a model of the finished product.

They showed like three.

You could add some colored powder for some color. Another idea is to build up interior and/or exterior walls to cover the concrete.

Where is armature? Steel rods, reinforcement!?

I’ve been watching a home being built by me and didn’t know why the concrete looked like that. Now I guess I know why … seems to be taking a long time to construct to be honest

I know a team of 5 Portuguese fellows who could build that house in a week! Plus you get to hear their funny jokes instead of staring at a machine.

Very nice 👌

What is the lifespan of such buildings?

That's unsupported concrete. It won't stand in an Earthquake, but it is essentially the same technology the Romans used ... And much of their stuff is still standing.

@@L0stEngineer I do not know you have a lifespan of buildings, but in our regulatory documentation, the lifespanof concrete buildings is from 50 to 100 years, depending on the brand of concrete. Therefore, I am interested in comparing the lifespan of buildings for different construction technologies🤔

@@dimarium that's for reinforced concrete with steel rebar. Eventually, the steel will rust and crack the concrete. If it's unenforced, it has no resistance to tension, but may last a whole lot longer.

Right on observations here. Best of both is to reinforce the "wall" in protected space, and put no steel in the outer, with lots of insulation and drainage in between.

I design ultra high hard concrete formulas for oil and gas. First problem, need rebar. Second problem, it's bug ugly. Third problem, utilities? Fourth thru tenth problems, not enough space here to relate.
