  • 3D Printed Houses

    No seriously, they cost about 5 grand each but in china they are using 3D printing to create houses at a rate of 10 a day.

    Time to see those housing charities put their money where they say it's going and see these purchased by the boat load.

      Why not cast the house? I particularly like this Japanese option. Expanded foam insides are great for insulation, domes are energy efficient, the concrete blown coating an be tinted at the time or painted later. Comes in a set of modular molds so you can make everything from a tiny one person dome to an expanded sort of rectangular group area, segments for doors, windows, joints to other domes. Domes also resist hurricanes and tornados, and are apparently certified in Japan at least for earthquake resistance.
      EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.
