- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ส.ค. 2021
- 3D Concrete Printing Autonomous Robotic Construction System made by SQ4D, can be set up at a build site and can print a 1900 square foot home in under 48 hours. The printer lays concrete layer by layer, creating the foundation and the interior and exterior walls of the house.
The 3D-printed house comes with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an open floor plan, and because it is printed from concrete it’s strength and durability exceeds that of conventional wood-frame house constructions, while utilizing a more sustainable and cheaper building process.
Plus the concrete that is used to print with, is 2-3x stronger than most brick and block homes, and the houses can be printed anywhere on any block of land, even with elevations.
3D House Printer = ARCS (Autonomous Robotic Construction System)
Thanks for watching.

The speed is incredible! It seems less like "building" and more like "growing" a house.
I think it's more like squeezing a house out of a giant tube of toothpaste. 〰
@@juneberry1982 June Berry , very well said and I have to agree with that
@@gardensofthegods thanks. 💙
grow a house and build a son
This is most definitely one of the futures in home building. Lumber prices and labor cost is astronomical so like anything else, automation is a huge benefit. Combined with computer perfection, its how I would choose to build and develop.
Maybe if the government had thrown a 20% tax on lumber it wouldn't have ended up so expensive.
@@lyndonbrown9659 had?
Concrete is not very sustainable either
You dont know anything about developing
You think? Lol nope! Dont bank on it! Thanks to Klaus Shwabb "you will own nothing and youll be happy"!
That's simply amazing. At the beginning I thought it was going to be a scale model, but it's the real thing - a full size house.
they have been making prototype 3d printed houses for awhile now in factories, to get the machines to work just right, but the house in this video, is the first one ever sold.
@@WonderWorldYTC I wonder if they have better floor plans where they house isn't totally square and blah looking .
Have you seen any more unique floor plans and styles for 3D houses ?
@gardensofthegods if you look it up there are a couple of pretty unique shaped
It's not amazing y'all really don't see the outcome over robots taking over human tasks and activities
Would it kill them to add a scraper wheel that smooths out the layerlines?
EXACTLY- I’ve been saying this for YEARS
The first company that does that is going to slay it.
I can’t wait to build my cheap house on my $2 million dollar block of land in Sydney🙄
The irony 😑
Just 3d print the land silly
Well you can always print a new island
Same in germany
Shawsie ,,,, I am sure your posh neighbourhood would love you if you did LOL 😂 .
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.
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.
@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.
@TheRossWise - Uh, did you not see refrigerator and other appliances when they looked inside the home, or did you not get that far into the video because you rushed in here to beat your chest about your house-building experience?
@@TopBillinSports You DO realize they were looking at a finished home, right? As in, all the work I mentioned was already done prior to the video shoot. Seriously dude, a little common sense goes a long way.
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.
I hope this catches on and makes housing more affordable in the future.
Depends on zoning laws as well. One of the major factors that hinders affordable housing within the United States.
@@LibertarianGamer-ff5tg I think RVs should be used more. I'm not talking about cousin Eddie's tenement on wheels. Something nicer.
City won't buy it, b/c god forbid they don't get property tax. But I'll guessing it's going that way.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 the small town I just moved from had rules that allowed a large shed in the backyard but not tiny houses. Maybe you can get an exception though. I get that the authorities don't want crap built as living spaces but there should be some research and help, not hindrance, in this area.
too expensive and doesn't save much time
In 1980s in Soviet Union countries when there were not enough apartments for people, they started casting walls, ceilings and floors in dedicated "house factories", then they transported them to the building site and they were building block of flats like house of cards. There are still a lot of these buildings, they are easily recognizable by the fact that they are identical to each other.
The approach was different, but the goal was the same: build faster and cheaper.
That sounds terrible. 😞
China does the same thing. Mainly for public housing.
This is amazingly beautiful. I'm now going to open a construction company. Building a house never been so easy.
Except now acres will be the new real estate ripoff exploitation. Lex Luthor's dream come true.
@@commandercaptain4664 what why? Populations are declining in most countries today and will be declining world wide within a few decade. And when that happens demand will never recover and home prices will decline untill they are free
Please bring this to South Africa
Our need it asap
Use corrugated iron
Use mud and clay.
@@fraided88 really, people are just openly...nvm
3d printing sure does have a future in this world.
Looks like a nice bungalow, and the speed is impressive. An issue is the massive land cost of bungalows, but I can see logistical problems with trying to engineer the system to produce three storey houses with a smaller footprint.
3D printing affordable homes is awesome!! Now we need to include hempcrete to use us less sand etc
What about plumbing and electrical? I’m curious on how that would take place without interior wood framing
Great question!
Just wondering the same questions.
If you want those upgrades, that'll be another 2.7 million dollars. Remember, that's cheap!
I was thinking the same thing, they say they build the house fast but when does the electrical and plumbing go in, guess I’ll contact someone and get answers.
Plumb and wire inside the shell in the insulated area then the inner walls are finished. No fishing wire you have total freedom of placement.
The foundations are good (even tho I think there should be something like pillars in the ground for more stability) but after that it'll be good to just use the concrete as bones and apply electrical wiring, outer isolation (since in winters this will be like living in a concrete (litteraly) box) and on the inner side it's better to make the walls or use drywall.
Other than that the idea is awesome
On local TV in NY they said something like it should withstand hit summers and cold winters. Plus the spaces in the pouring was fir the plumbing and electrical. For the third world small homes are great. For the west small homes and even bigger ones will help since the housing market is experiencing a shortage and prices that are insane right now.
I myself would opt in for the industrial look and run cable wires through painted metal pipes. I like the look when done right.
@@MrGlenspace It literally has no insulation, it looks terrible, concrete is a terrible insulator. it's under 200mm wide but 100mm hollow on the insid with structural joints. You could break it with a hammer. The inside and outside probably annoying to frame since no flat surface. It doesn't take a wise man to figure how terrible this all out.
@@fraided88 agreed
@@fraided88 the insulation is put in you clown
Just stacking layers of concrete on top of each other without steel reinforcement, I dont know how sturdy the walls are going to be !!!
🤯 mind blown!!!
Concrete built houses have been around for decades. Icf is the most common and is capable of amazing architecture designs along with outstanding insulation.
but don't you have to ADD insulation, as cement isn't very good at it??
Cement is very porous by itself. But Icf stands for insulated concrete form. And depending on the brand of product you use, should be more than 2inches thick per side. 4 inches or more in total.
Great insulation, great structure stability, and sound reduction. And that is with one contractor touching the wall once versus four contractors touching the wall. Thus saving the Biulder money
Finally, they are using technology. It's amazing what a little push from nature can do to species of all kinds.
Humanity has spent way too much time in a stagnant phase. Evolution doesn't happen unless our existence is at risk.
Push forward, overcome obstacles with the tools you are given and in time you too will give back as well.
This is not evolution it's just technology.
Evolution is bs .
A great company I have even contacted them regarding investments. The demo house featured here in NY looks fabulous. With a Texas company ICON you should start really seeing these homes proliferate very soon.
what about the expense of buying one? Seems way overpriced for the footage and all.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 aren’t they 20% cheaper
It is chiep and best idea in the world of poor family are like your work.. 👍🤔
Thats pretty cool tbh. Can be ran 24hrs a day too. And as for it looking layered on the outside you can always clad it to hide that or even render it. Inside will be plastered like you would now.
Cracking idea tbh
I like the utilitarian look, I want one.
This is a great idea and will get people and there families off the street and into a substantial and Good standardized living environment
Imagine if you had 10 of these and you were in the uk building smaller homes that would be so cool to see a 3D printed terrace block
This is amazing
I obviously need to read more about these, but can’t believe these would be approved by code without a steel skeleton for structural integrity! Especially in an area prone to earthquakes!
Please see what happens with spalling. Over time the concrete absorbs water and rusts any metal inside, which forces it to break.
There's no way they're going to spend for stainless.
Greedy builders are already screaming about tornado shelters.
I'm so impressed with this whole idea .
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. Plus i would get away from straight walls to improve air film and wind resistance. I see no problems.
But didn't they say that house cost 2.7 million? That's alot of money for a house of that size.
@@tallswede80
It's still a new technology.
Once it gets better and couple of dozen things get fixed, and everyone starts using it, prices MIGHT go down.
@@tallswede80 It was auctioned. And the first printed home to be sold. People are dumbasses and overpay to feel special. Until everyone has it. Then they just feel like an idiot. Good for them.
That rebar comment is wrong.
For those wondering about electricity installation, it's not a big problem. Walls are "empty". All you need to do is drill a small hole and install wires.
Most will install the electrical at the proper stages during the printing. While the concrete is still wet. Saves from extra work drilling.
This is super cool. I wonder how much the concrete would affect chill in places like Pacific Northwest? Would it be like tile? I see how they kind of address it. Does drywall also act as an insulator?Instead of cool carpet on the floor, you could have cool carpet on the walls!
3D Printing has a bright future ahead
Great video Wonder world! ☺️☺️
Thanks mate :)
Fast and cheap.
Will probably fall apart due to lack of flexibility, crack and wither during winter times even faster.
Wood, metal or even plastics are necessary in order for the house to flex, it needs to have some give, otherwise it'll just break.
The concrete doesn't even have steel reinforcements for crying out loud.
Plus, you still have to do all the wiring, plumbing, insulation, flooring, finishing, on and on. The skeleton of a home makes up a very small percentage of the total labor and materials.
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:)
Your criticisms of this new-fangled fad the horseless carriage are most correct. Who would want to travel at such high speeds, especially with such a quantity of flammable liquid? The public will surely never tolerate the foul emissions or risk their lives simply to cross the street. Based on your advice I shall mortgage my stagecoach factory to double its size and production. It is surely risk-free without a viable competitor!
@@WasFakestCenturyAesthetics I gave several valid arguments as to why this construction technique has a long way to go before competing with traditional methods. I have extensive experience in this field of work so I know what I am talking about. Just so you know.
Sorry I hurt your feelings there muffin. You people get upset by pretty much every thing these days don't you? Instead of attacking people who have different opinions why don't you talk with them instead? You might actually learn something. I am still waiting to hear any counter argument to the points I made if you are capable of it.
FYI not everything new is good;)
i agree it`s way too complicated building big structures with 3d printers, but for small houses 1 storey, 2 room, 1 bathroom, this will be a game changer
Companies in China and Germany are printing multi-story concrete houses. As for the longevity, there are concrete structures with no steel reinforcement thousands of years old. They are in better climates than many places for sure, but even a fraction of that lifetime would be worth it.
No rebar, no insulation, 200mm of concrete or less and 100mm hollowon the inside, surface uneven, full off flaws, costly machine, terrible quality, looks like melted ice cream. Feels like a "Made In China" house.
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!!😂😂)
I’m mind blown
That is very cool! I'm chuckling about the fascination with the flag though ;-)
Incredible they can do finish with Sanding and sculpting 🙂💔!
Wow this is really amazing
I’d just use more concrete to mud-plaster the outside and you won’t be able to tell it was 3D printed! 🔥🔥 I love this!
Very cool 👍
Thank you
Nice video. Thank you
Hi There! Thanks for the cool video! 👍
This is incredible
Interesting idea.
Well I'll be damned.
I pass that first "shipping container home" daily.
good
Incredible
Amazing
Smart idea. Love to build me a house.
so cool, i am also working in concrete 3D Print
Wonder what the environmental objection would be around the amount of concrete use (carbon footprint per job vs conventional methods)
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
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.
@@WonderWorldYTC accent helps. yeah I know what you mean. and quick cuts between words is the worst
I like it but just wonder about composite plastics instead of concrete ? It would be less apt to crack , flexible and would be warmer feeling in the winters. I have never been a big fan of concrete.
Can you imagine if they did one using all waste plastic?
I like ur vids
I'm all for supporting this if it helps reduce house prices!
rounded corners are awesome!
child proof, so they don't bump their heads :)
This is awesome. Almost all of the things you feature I have never heard of before
yes that is what I aim to showcase, everyone else does the mainstream popular topics, I find the obscure hidden gems on youtube.
Great
That is so cool
love it
This is amazing! And expensive AF 😂
That’s gonna be a strong house lol really strong
And much cheaper because it's only a concrete.
Sooo.. you're just not going to insulate it? Or.. install any electrics or water? When and how will that be installed?
Exactly.. It's 3D printed walls.. Not a house..
If you can leave a slot for windows and doors, why not HVAC and such? I think it should all be behind easily removable panels so you can get to it. Jmo.
cool
Looks like a game changer but I’m interested In the insulation. In terms of staying hot and cold how would that work with no extra wall layer? Also what’s the endurance like during hurricanes and tornadoes or big natural disasters
It’s a cement house. Very Very Strong. Not like wood being held together by nails and sheet metal. Like houses in Guam. You know, for the typhoons
Ohh nice!!!
They just finished one right here in Williamsburg Virginia . I'm frantically searching for it's location , that how I ended up here ! Lol .
Next up: A space-based 3D printer to print planets and moons! How cool is that?
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?
I saw on the news that Habit Tat For Humanity had just finished a 3-D Printed Concrete House up in Virginia. I am wondering if a Mansion can be built using 3-D Printing?
What is the energy efficiency rating on such a house? There is so many steps and details left out of this show case.
สุดยอดเลย
I like the idea and it looks interesting especially on the outside and does it also have somit insulation properties because of the design? the high spots are directed to the sunlight and low spot are in the shadow
In another thread there saying that concrete does not insulate well and that you would still have to add insulation .
They're also saying that it's very easy to break concrete with a hammer
Don't forget that after the 48 hours, it has to cure which takes 30-40 days and then you have to do all of the other stuff like plumbing, electrical, painting, windows etc.
Wow 👌
I love that it's concrete. Down with wooden houses.
Can the walls be foam filed? Can it print a wall with sloping top like say 10' on one side and 14' on the other?
Actual cost for finished house. How is it insolated and how are pluming and electrical incorporated?
how do you get the windows in, the plumbing, electric, HVaC, how do you fix anything when it breaks, who inspects it?
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
Doesn't matter how easy it is to make it. That only means more profit for the developers.
it won't get any worse than now. at least people will stop living in cardboard houses without soundproofing.
This could be a serious game changer for places that are prone to hurricanes and other disasters.
This has to be the future.
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.
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.
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?
Well the big bad wolf ain’t blowing that house down.
The print might take 48 hours but to set up and install everything it needs to live in is the true time it takes to build the house
What would something like this cost? I mean if it's going to be an option to make homes more affordable will it actually be affordable?
Hopefully this will change the real estate market in the US soon. And people will stop living in cardboard boxes without soundproofing.
This head is ok but i have advice . Under the nozzle i would set material boundaries on both sides with small metal plates. These two plates must be raised by a relay when the robot deviates from a straight path. I have idea to upgrade this nozzle and results be a flat structures from both sides. Now the Layers have a uneven surface , not flat
I'm new to all of this and i'm confused about something. Why wouldn't these houses be 1/4th of the cost of a normal home? There is hardly any man hours, it just seems like he overhead would be WAY less. Are they charging for the convenience of speed? Why is it so expensive? Thanks
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?
holy crap, it's true, a fricking ROBOT BUILT MY CAR!!! (yours too, probably!)
robots have been building all cars for ages, spot welding, assembling, painting, and probably even testing fit & finish.
if companies can find a use for a robot to replace a worker, they will.
Kinda wish I had one of these printers at the moment :)
Can you imagine a garage sized 3D printer in the backyard that can use plastic, metal or concrete as it's material it prints with, imagine all the things you could make.
What is it's thermal efficiency? "Ribbed look" looks nice when it's new and freshly painted but will be a nightmare to clean outside and will be a dust storage inside. What else...? Do you have any solution for reinforcing this construction? Is there any way of repairing or modifying the structure without compromising the integrity of the remaining walls? What's the cost analysis compared to traditional brick/airblock construction? What about the electrical installation and plumbing? Is it laid out when printing, is it easy to modify or does it lay outside of the construction? Is it only possible to have a single story or can it support multiple? Probably way more other questions left to address.
The only viable question should be: will it withstand all the earthquake/torchnado/flood/hurricane ravages of the inevitable post-climate world? All those others are just flipper dreams.
@@commandercaptain4664 actually those are all things European houses are build in mind with (at least privately owned ones - meaning not build to be sold but for personal usage). I live in Poland i don't have to fire up any of my active means of heating (multi-fuel furnace, gas heater or electric) until temps drop below 10*C. Not only is it well insulated and ventilated but during the day solars provide electricity for a heat accumulator that distributes heat as necessary. Yes, it is a bit of an overkill but adding a gas heater was cheap at the time and the rest was prepared in self-sufficiency in case of any problems - house is a ways off.
