Congratulations William Hoff and Geopolymer International. Thanks Jarett Gross for showing the work.

The white residue on the surface is just sodium bicarbonate. Excess sodium is migrating to the surface and being neutralized with carbon dioxide in the air. It can be hosed off when the polymer is done curing.

[@StephenCoorlas]

Now we're talking! Great reporting. I remember watching you meet William at a conference - it's great to see his progress with this material and 3D printing. Would love to see the printer in action using this material.

[@automateconstruction]

Me too! All in good time.

[@tucksiver8763]

Yes, I want to see that too.

[@dertythegrower]

So under viewed. Genius and intelligent stuff.... makin moves, super impressive.

[@callummcmac4079]

One thing I really like about 3D printing homes is that most of it gets built over night, I read about a family who were having a wood home built, their quote to build was $100,000, they worked very slowly, the house looked half done and they said that they were over budget and it would cost $150,000 to finish the home. Eventually it got built 2 years later and I don't know how much it cost to build.

[@automateconstruction]

3dcp projects can take a long time too if you don’t have a good team.

[@veritylove212]

Thanks for posting Geopolymer. I was interested when I first saw their interview at one of the Expos last year and while this house doesn't look attractive to me, I realize it's their first one, so KUDOS for that! I'll be looking forward to William's podcast. 💜

[@raymondpeters9186]

What's the cost???

[@jimbon6681]

If you have to ask, you can't afford it 😉

[@nobreighner]

That came out very nice! Both material and printing.

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

🤗THE PROGRESS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER,JARETT 👍THANKS TO WILLIAM FOR SHARING THIS WITH US ALL 💚💚💚

[@Jandodev]

I want a concrete 3d pinter so badly

[@ARMENAMERIKANE]

Cool new tech and a different perspective on concrete great work Jarret! The print looks smoother

[@allenbocian6907]

I had to explain 3D printed building to my grandparents tonight. It did not go well as I explained my interests in the topic and my dreams of printing my own house in the future. I explained to them how there must be an individual on this planet who has witnessed all of these successful past printing projects, and they must be the most knowledgeable person about it. I'm glad to see you are that individual documenting this process.

[@automateconstruction]

Haha thanks, it’s still not really very cost effective yet but I think construction automation will save the world!

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Cool Look forward to the GeoP vs Portland

[@MoneerMoukaddem-gf6md]

Congratulations William Hoff. The future of construction is here, and the potential social & environmental impact immeasurable!

[@emmanuelroy1608]

Thank you Jarett for the video and congratulations to geopolymer international! That was a very interesting job ! Geopolymer is very different than concrete but I am convinced and will keep printing with it !

[@WilloPax]

I'm very surprised that the production time was only 21 hours. I imagine it takes just 3 or 4 people to build the masonry for this house. It's just incredible. It reduces the cost of labour and equipment enormously. And all this without compromising on the quality of the material. It's revolutionary! Well done to the whole team and I hope that this technology will be developed all over the world.

[@automateconstruction]

Not 21 hrs straight of course, over many days

[@allenbocian6907]

You seriously have the coolest job in the world talking to these great people. I'm signing up for Automate Construction!

[@chisaomusician7752]

Glad to see them at work

[@slartibartfast7921]

Very exciting. William is a legend

[@anitatearohapomana-savage7870]

Geopolymer all the way! A plastering / stucco system that breathes would complement the wall cavity system. And would be awesome if you could create a clay mortar for the floor. So much nicer being able to walk directly on the earth, not cold hard concrete slabs like building nowadays. Nga mihi

[@ssgoko88]

Mortar is basically concrete 🖕

[@sud3187]

Fine!

[@fangsupply]

Very very cool! I would love to have heard more about how the material is mixed and what exactly he means by being able to print continuously. Nice video.

[@AgentOffice]

It works overnight

[@raymondpeters9186]

Yes it may have only taken 20 hrs to print but how long did it take to transport ,setup and take down the printer ? Time lines are always misleading

[@automateconstruction]

Certainly doesn’t include set up time but they hired out the print to another company so it’s not entirely relevant to the focus of this video, the geopolymer is the interesting part. I’ll focus the strong print team in a different video I already had them on the podcast.

[@baseballerr11]

This was incredibly informative Jarret! Do you have the link that William referenced at the end of the video by chance?

[@svenberlin4603]

Ich liebe eure Häuser, die Idee,den Style, die Inovation in Euch! Viele Grüße aus Germany Berlin Sven

[@rictoectol9814]

Where in South Carolina? What’s the website?

[@julieisthatart]

I am wondering if there is any way that the people suffering the huge loss of buildings with the catastrophic fire on Maui could be helped with onsite materials there?

[@felixbaburify]

Very informative video! Is it possible to replace the electricity and/or plumbing, embedded in the concrete, for future maintenance?

[@aymenhannachi6923]

The rough surface cannot be treated directly after casting the wall? So it can be smooth surface. Is it possible?

[@Revolutionizehousing]

Wow so cool, thanks for another great video. Do you think printing with Geopolymers will enable faster setting print times?

[@automateconstruction]

I don’t think setting speed is an issue some teams material starts setting in under a couple minutes.

[@lachopakapura]

Very interesting, Can you explain the longevity of this material opposite to traditional construction with concrete and Metal reinforcements in Condominiums?

[@shocka007]

Great video CO2 is a spurious argument Everlasting else is Awesome

[@jeannieking879]

Is there any 3D printed houses going up in Oklahoma and if so where? Or is there a way I could get ahold of a company to come out and do a 3D house for myself that I would design? And if so what would be the cheapest company to use?

[@jamesdavis5096]

5:30 does heat sensitive mean flammable?

[@maxa5310]

Hi Jarrett, how do I go into this field? I'm in the medical field at the moment and have interest in 3D printing

[@henrikonnou7466]

Watch the Keynote of GP Camp 2023 about 3D printing and other stuffs (geopolymer concrete on the moon): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jabIdHirqZakg7cfeature=shared

[@bk8230]

I have heard 3d printed houses being fast and cost effective. But when looking up the buyers cost they don't seem that affordable.

[@jonathanmitchell1776]

8:34

[@newhopeforhealing]

Thermal bridging? Insulation? Thermal performance is an issue I think.

[@CrackerFL]

Is that like Roman concrete?

[@automateconstruction]

Not quite

[@13Madskilz13]

Couple swings with a 20lb sledge hammer and that wall is crumbling.

[@robertv6628]

I'm usually and upfront in person to believe something told orally, but your claim is pretty convincing, hell I think a 10lb mallet can do some damage.

[@MrNTR1]

If Geopolymer is indestructable does that mean it's also not biodegradable?

[@raymondpeters9186]

What's the R value?

[@automateconstruction]

Have you ever heard of pumicecrete

[@raymondpeters9186]

I've been building pumicecrete homes for 25 years Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet

[@raymondpeters9186]

Hey Jarrett the next time you're in Cabo san lucas you're welcome to come see my pumicecrete home I currently live in Take care Ray

[@kathrynralli4557]

Where would I get pumicecrete? Does it come ready packaged? I'm in Nevada.

[@raymondpeters9186]

@@kathrynralli4557 where you live you would get it from Global pumice in Olancha CA It would come in a dump truck That's where I got my pumice from and shipped it to the bottom of Baja Mexico Take care Ray

[@SpaceGhost-]

They print buildings, but basically store their equipment under a tarp...

[@dougphillips5686]

mortar is only good for 20-30 years? My parent's house was build in 1926. No problem with mortar nor concrete basement. I know CO2 helps our plants

[@rb2712]

There is concrete in old Rome next to the Mediterranean that is over two thousand years old. Also carbon dioxide does not pollute, it sustains the plant life. In geologic time CO2 is extremely low now. Don't get me started on global warming, it's all a lie for control.

[@CorvidianSystems]

don't worry, buddy... there is more than enough CO2 for all the plants on the planet. We need less of it, not more.

[@ch-mu2de]

面白いけど住みたくはないな

[@Slayer--]

18% of world pollution you say? Hmmm...

[@gerrusherxxx9111]

Bad positioning, Bad surface,

[@chrisatex1002]

Try putting some rainbow colors in that cow shit! … people who love houses with bumpy walls and round corners everywhere might appreciate something even more stupid! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dialup5583]

Wait this horrible ugly thing wont go away any time soon?

[@i_am_tunisian_equals_harissa]

Our house was built by three men by hand lasting for 100+ years with zero carbon emissions

[@viralprimenetwork]

Wow, this is incredible! 🏢🌟 The world's first geopolymer 3D printed building is a game-changer! 👏🎉 We sent you a DM on your Instagram. We would love to connect and collaborate with you.
