>> [_] Anonymous06/30/12(Sat)23:53No.1710446 When they get around to explaining how to lay electrical wires and water and gas pipes, determine how the grooves for windows are set, and other such home details work; and, when they can extrude something other than glorified concrete; then I'll like this idea. At the very least, this should be good for quick construction in places typically affected by natural disasters.

>> [_] Anon 1668313 I've lived in a college dorm and a former college dorm long enough to be able to say that concrete walls are one of the most depressing things in the world.
>> [_] Raguspan 1668409 >># There's always the option of decorating the walls of these houses. Given you'd have to adhere many decorations, but it would work out. I like the idea, but I wonder how much it would cost to make one of these machines.
>> [_] Anon 1668415 >># one machine could build many many houses at only the initial cost + some maintainance
>> [_] Anon 1668423 So it's basically a giant 3d printer? Fuck that's cool.

>> [_] Anon 1664619 psshh... give me a herd of Amish dudes and I build a house faster than that
>> [_] Anon 1664623 >># lol Also, this technology has made me hard.
>> [_] Anon 1664692 Bull shit. This will not reduce the price of a house. Houses are priced according to demand and financing. Developers will just hire fewer workers and pocket the savings.
>> [_] Anon 1664804 THAT NOSE
>> [_] Anon 1664813 Sounds nice... but if you start making houses out of solid concrete, you're going to have to rebuild everything every time an earthquake hits.
>> [_] Anon 1664834 >># Ah, but that's why the countour crafting group has figured out how to integrate rebar, take a look this paper: http://craft.usc.edu/CC/Welcome_files/re sources/AIC2004-Paper.pdf This is really bad reporting though....
