The industry as a whole still has some kinks to work out.

    This is a ridiculous comment from someone who prints too many Magic the Gathering characters.

    Do you mean your own ridiculous comment? And what do you mean printing Magic the gathering characters, do you mean color printing the little card pictures in large? Or do you confuse this with 3D printing characters for tabletop strategy games like Warhammer 40k? I’m just going to assume you’re some kind of confused space ork.

    This technology has been typical tech bullshit from day one. Wood framed houses are cheaper, stronger, and can be repaired or changed in the future.

    Sure, robots are totally bullshit. They never have had any drastic effect how we live and work and if they did, it would surely stop at this specific point and go no further!

    Have a robot dig foundations? You mean like this?

    Yes, exactly like that! The advances I spoke of make it possible to control even hydraulic robot arms using software and computer vision. It’s all very technical though.

    And they already can switch end effectors and are mobile and can drive around!!! You could in fact build a 3D house printing robot exactly like that and it would take very little setup time. Or have a small group of them work together, day and night digging, printing and building homes.

      Yes, exactly like that!

      that’s exactly how all house foundations have been built for 100 years. Visit a construction site, learn something.

      Here’s a prefab housing complex from THE FUTURE…

      That’s from 1967. They now cost $1.7M each.
