This is extremely cool tech, but realistically all that I see being done here is framing and interior walls. Is it also installing electrical, plumbing, heating/cooling, insulation, roofing, doors, windows, cabinets and finishing walls and floors? Anyone that has ever built a house knows that this is where 90%+ of the final cost comes from. That is also the part that takes months and months to do. I also don't see any rebar put in that concrete. Concrete without rebar is extremely brittle and can be easily broken. Like I said, very cool tech. I would personally let this one sit in the oven for a decade or so before I would look into it for my home.

[@TomorrowisYesterday]

Yeah I have a lot of questions too. All they’re doing is pouring concrete walls (without rebar). I feel like this creates more problems than it solves. How on earth do you turn a maze of cement into a functioning house? Jeez. I’m not sure if the person who came up with this has ever built a house before. I mean how in the bloody hell do you do ANYTHING if you don’t have hollow walls? Everything would have to run above the ceiling - not just the electrical. Plumbing too. How would it look to have your toilet supply line visible going up to the ceiling? I have a ton of questions about this.

[@KaleidoscopeEffect]

@Tomorrow is Yesterday Plenty of countries don't have hollow walls 😅 You pass the wiring through tubes incased inside the walls. The same goes for plumbing. My house has no hollow walls and there's no visible pipes. You just dent the wall, insert a pipe and close it off with more concrete.

These look like they will be difficult to insulate. The simple floor plan will make plumbing and electrical fairly easy provided there is a basement, crawl space. Heating will be electric baseboard or hot water if built on slab. Reminds me of Thomas Edison’s idea of selling concrete houses. He lost a lot of money trying to make his system work.

Other than that the idea is awesome

Most will install the electrical at the proper stages during the printing. While the concrete is still wet. Saves from extra work drilling.

[@godofrock]

Fantastic idea! Rodent proof,insect proof all the insulation protected from external elements. No rebar is awesome. rebar has been shown to actually weaken because they rust and cause water channels. Many finishing possibilities great for tornado prone areas. Wiring and plumbing in the insulated cavity. Those who don’t see the advantages will soon be weened out of the building industry. Weenies as we call them. I have 30 years building with all types of construction materials in harsh winter climates and humid hot summers, concrete with fiber reinforcement (chopped up windmill blades and fiberglass boat hulls) is an extremely good material for residential and light commercial buildings.

That rebar comment is wrong.

[@markadler8968]

Nowhere in this process did I see any rebar being installed, especially in the foundation where it is needed the most (That footing looked completely inadequate). You can't build a concrete structure without reinforcing it with rebar and expect it to last. Also you might be able to print the walls in 48 hours that's it, not the entire house. The rest of the house has to be built the traditional way, framing the roof, installing the electrical, etc. The concrete will also have to cure before installing a lot of these elements. A wood framing crew could easily stand the walls up on this house in one work day, that's in approximately 15% of the time it takes this machine to do it out of concrete. Concrete is also very unfriendly to the environment and is being phased out as a construction material. These machines will also be very unreliable and require a team of technicians to fix and maintain it constantly. They are also not including the time it takes to transport and set up machine which I would imagine would take quite a while. What do you do when you have to build multiple floors? Is the machine capable of this? What do you do with the machine while you are forming or framing the floors which take considerable time? Do you leave it there idle or bring it somewhere else and then bring it back? That seems like a huge waste of time. Can this machine work on a sloped/irregular surface? What happens if the house you want to build as larger than the machine is capable of? What happens when the elements affect the working conditions? If it is raining, too hot or too cold can this machine continue to work? If someone like me can find this many flaws (Give me a bit of time and I could find many more) in the system while having my morning coffee this system has a LONG way to go before it comes anywhere nearly as effective as traditional construction methods. This is nothing but a novelty and will end up costing far more and taking far longer than traditional construction methods. You might be able to make this system work on a subdivision where all of the houses are on flat ground and are all similar in design, that's it. Just my two cents:)

Imagine if we didn't have backhoes and bulldozers and that work still had to be done with hand tools ... we would probably still have widespread slavery and slave trading without machines and automation. And we basically still have serfdom in modern society which is based upon low-level labor jobs. Getting rid of the lowest level and hardest labor gives human beings new opportunities and openings and ultimately makes a more prosperous society, like it has done for thousands of years. Every generation gets scared of some new technology replacing old ways, but the grim predictions are always wrong and the new tech always makes human life better.

[@ralsharp6013]

Wow this is really amazing

[@chrisk7118]

How do they put in rebar for horizontal wind loads?

[@bernabevargas3718]

What's holding the cement together?? Where I am from we built a foundation with concrete rod the concrete and cement blocks. It seems that 3d print is not going to be reliable.

[@skleenis]

when the robot was laying the lower levels of foundation it did an S pattern which i’m assuming would leave air pockets. i have no experience with house building but wouldn’t air pockets cause some future problem?

[@pbs27526]

I didn't see any electrical, or plumbing vents? In the interior shots of the video, no switches or receptacles? How is the rough work accomplished?

[@ericerto8250]

I'm just curious how they get the utilities I know the plumbing can be run underground but now what about the electric in the walls how is that accounted for how do you get the conduit run for the power and the stubs for the plumbing

[@Priya27138]

If we make wooden molds and make a house from it and fill the molds with concrete, then what will that house look like?

[@truetech4158]

One could have a mixture of recycled materials and mixed with self insulating aircrete. Aircrete uses only half the cement even.

[@jonadabster8401]

They just finished one right here in Williamsburg Virginia . I'm frantically searching for it's location , that how I ended up here ! Lol .

[@PavelUrubcik]

half the price of regular house? I'd like to see the cost breakdown. This price tag would imply that building the walls accounts for more than half cost of the construction which is very doubtful. There's foundations (maybe these are not needed here?), roof, floors, plumbing, electrical wirings, windows, interior... I'm sure I didn't mention it all.

[@ericgigliotti2632]

The biggest expense is obviously human capital. It takes months to build a house, paying the wages of 10-20 people over that time is not cheap.

[@fraided88]

That concrete frame cost under 5000$ to build. Even cheaper because thats hollow and no rebar. No insulation etc.

[@MECH-MASTER]

Very cool 👍

[@EnduringArts]

This is going to crack and crumble in on itself without some sort of inner reinforcement like rebar. Very dangerous. Concrete is very strong but it is it's own worst enemy and needs a little help.

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

So the one rule of concrete is concrete cracks. How do you combat this in a 3D printed home?

[@e.akhmet]

Hopefully this will change the real estate market in the US soon. And people will stop living in cardboard boxes without soundproofing.

[@nowaynoway915]

This is amazing! And expensive AF 😂

[@HeroicLarvy]

So how do you run HVAC or electrical through a concrete slab? Also isn't this going to be extremely cold all the time since its literal concrete.. where's the insulation?

[@mustafataee7523]

When you're 23, trying to find a career path. Decide on becoming a builder and then see this video lol

[@smith464]

rounded corners are awesome!

[@WonderWorldYTC]

child proof, so they don't bump their heads :)

[@kilimangan]

Its cool and all but concrete is not flexible i will se cracks in the walls in less than a month

[@jortiz1451]

Having a simple house is a dream these days for the middle and poor class. It used to be an achievable goal a while back. Not anymore. Enjoy your rented, room, apartments and cheap homes in bad neighborhoods.

[@salocin911]

How does electricity and plumbing get added during this process?

[@Mr_Wh1]

What is the energy efficiency rating on such a house? There is so many steps and details left out of this show case.

[@alexwood7753]

Do they corefill any of the walls? It just seems a little flimsy

[@tumble07able]

Just think this could actually put a end to HOMELESSNESS !!!

[@seangilchrist3102]

your voice is lovely mate, i first saw your video about the Legos dude and enjoyed the asmr sound to your voice. good video too

[@WonderWorldYTC]

Thanks Sean, not really ASMR as I am talking at normal volume, but maybe you mean my slower talking rate. I do say fewer words per minute than most people in videos, I hate fast talking videos, does not give me time to absorb what he is saying, and I lose focus and give up.

[@seangilchrist3102]

​@@WonderWorldYTC accent helps. yeah I know what you mean. and quick cuts between words is the worst

[@jamvan2k]

Well the big bad wolf ain’t blowing that house down.

[@TheAppalachianYeti]

Well I'll be damned. I pass that first "shipping container home" daily.

[@theanc316ientone]

we are now in the future. This is awesome. Eventually nobody will need to work anymore because of technology.

[@jaxeman1]

And how is that a positive? Maybe I'm missing something here.....

[@happy2b4]

Just wondering what method you use to verify the claims made.

[@celticmelody7574]

Literally I've been waiting for this since the day 3d printing came out, this is so cool that we're becoming so much stronger and smarter of a species by thinking like this (mattpatt's theory on tv food from Willie Wonka will be given form soon!!😂😂)

[@twd949]

Was quite surprised to see the rough layer left behind on either side of the walls. Sure, the printers current functionality leaves those results, but just as any technology, that's just another functionality to be implemented, and this one, wouldn't strike me as very advanced, in retrospect of actual automatic house building machine. It really doesn't look good.

[@Siskiyous6]

I would be more impressed if you could get the building permits in 48 hours.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

hahhahha yeah, approval might be a thing.
