Can 3D-Printed Homes Solve the Global Housing Crisis?
Can 3D-Printed Homes Solve the Global Housing Crisis?
“In slums around the world, families live in makeshift houses created with whatever scrap materials they can gather. These homes often lack clean water and proper toilets and have leaky roofs that let in the rain and cold. Two young companies in the U.S. are addressing the problem in a surprising way: with 3D-printed homes…”

I think so it will.
No.
Global housing crisis is an issue of regulation and prices. Not so much an issue of method for construction. For instance, build a house in a first world country without permission and you will need to tear it down.
That’s not a house.
Gary Kindt I see. So what is it?
Kevin Smith So apparently you’re missing the entire point of this and it’s more than obvious you didn’t even bother to read even the first two paragraphs of the article.
Please, for the love of Nutella, if you’re going to comment on something, educate yourself, or at the very least, read the friggin’ article instead of trolling the web for the next spot to set up your soapbox.
Prices of 3D printed houses have dropped to a $4,000 price point.
FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS.
A point you would have known had you bothered to READ THE ARTICLE.
When, for fuckssakes, have you ever seen or heard of a house for FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS before this? And this is before the economies of scale…the more people use these, the cheaper it gets.
Furthermore, these 3D printed houses ARE ALL UP TO CODE, including in the United States. If you have the land, you can build/print the house.
Another fact you would have known had you bothered to READ THE ARTICLE.
Third of all, in the FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS ARTICLE, they address your unfounded first world country concern – they’re not talking about first world countries, which, even if they were, again, they are ALL UP TO CODE. But regardless, that makes no difference, because they’re talking about nations and areas in which they’re still in corrugated metal and cardboard housings, or have no housing at all. DEVELOPING NATIONS.
Yet another fact you would have known had you bothered to READ THE ARTICLE.
You see, as the curator of this collection, I refuse to allow any of what passes on other platforms, pass here – and that is non-contributing horse-shit comments and remarks that make it so painfully clear that the person commenting has no interest in learning anything, educating themselves about anything, or even looking at the material they’re commenting about – their only interest is another platform for them to stand on and spit their predetermined biases and conclusions.
There are plenty of platforms for that.
This is not one of them.
Yes, this is harsh.
Unapologetically.
And yes, this might be uncalled for, but so is being woefully, and most importantly, comfortably, ignorant.
That’s much worse.
So fucking read something.
Wasim Muklashy Barely rates “cottage” or “shack”
Gary Kindt To someone in a developing or under-developed nation that lives in a corrugated cardboard and/or metal makeshift structure, or doesn’t have a house at all – being as what these are designed for – this is much more than a ‘cottage’ or ‘shack.’
Check the privilege at the door please.
Thanks.
Wasim Muklashy It depends on what the structural “print media” is comprised of then. If it is not foamed concrete or the like, I remain skeptical .
Gary Kindt Perhaps reading the article will help clarify your concerns.
yes ,,,but we prefer problems
great stuff
Wasim Muklashy You go Was!
