How is airtightness and thermal bridging dealt with in this system?
@peterzerfass46093 жыл бұрын
The idea has one flaw: you want to print the entire house in one go - but windows tend to be at the same level of each storey. So at some point you need a LOT of bots holding windows at the same time and most other times they're just sitting idle...which is not an efficient use of bots (i.e. something that drives up cost).

probably solvable by focusing the printer around each window individually, instead of doing entire layers at once

Or make the windows self supporting so the bot only has to put it into place. Most systems leaves a hole and puts a board on top and the window is fitted later.

How strong are the houses made of 3D printers compared to ordinary houses and for how many years do they last?
@Kiennguyen-gn4rz11 ай бұрын
the durability of the house is not dependent on the construction technology. If they were made of the same type of concrete with the same mechanical properties, and the structure design is the same then the durability is identical.

We understand. Perhaps threads of carbon can be woven into the concrete? or stranss of steel be placed into concrete? Carbon fiber is stronger then steel. Does well!

kinda cool but this would suck in practice. Requires human intervention, and is the window stuck in there forever???

yeee... but the walig cost is about 1/5 of the total cost of the house.

Right and you would need to move it to each location or have multiple windows holders machines. The only way I see this working is for prefabs.

These multipurpose robot arms went massively down in price in the last few years. 5 years ago we were maybe looking at million dollar. Now it is more like 50$-100$k. In 5 years we will get in the $10-20 k range. They are getting in the "mass produce" stage which massively lowers cost. (+a lot of competition)

Currently people use their hands for light stuff and a crane for heavy stuff. This robot arm isn't economical in construction, it only makes sense in repetitive automotive manufacturing

@@Utoko it wouldn't matter if the arm was zero dollars. Hiring a person to put in those windows would still be cheaper. Don't forget they have to transport it, align it etc... Until the robot can install every other thing needed in the house with little human intervention, it's just a costly magic trick.

Wouldn't it be a much better idea to let the robots build the house out of bricks? I just don't see the benefit of 3D printing here. Why? It's hard to repair or do any manual intervention by humans. Also bricks can be factory produced and come in a variety of specifications. In my opinion it would be best to first have a brick-laying robot, then a robot that does the electrical installation, a plumbing robot, a roofing robot, a tiling robot and a flooring robot. All these robots could be replaced by a human, which is the key to success.

because instead of shipping in manufacturing products, you can ship in raw materials. When calculating the amount of materials used, you will find the printed materials is much less and much more structurally sound. Soon, it will be far more cost and environmentally effective to print.

That is not a good idéa, There need to be flex for thermal expansion next to the window. THis window will sque or breake
@WayneJohnsonZastil3 жыл бұрын
maybe the window itself has thermal expansion in? it did not look like normal window frame to me
