    The $20,000 mentioned in the video refers to the cost of materials used to 3D print the footings, foundation wall, slab, interior, and exterior walls, including rebar reinforcement. This number does not include the parts of the structure that were not 3D printed such as the roof, electrical, plumbing, and interior finishing

    Given my experience in manufacturing, 3d printing has potential for low volume, custom forms and a huge opportunity in prototyping. The expense per part is not gonna get dramatically better to do high volume manufacturing. One of my best professors always emphasized something I try to always share with others which is to begin from the objective, the problem, and stakeholders and then think about how technology can help you, never backwards.

      This isn't true. Lots of things will require high volume 3d printing. High performance aircraft and automotive parts REQUIRE 3D printing because certain shapes simply cannot be put in a lathe. For example, internal liquid thermal channels. You could never cast or lathe that. 3D printers are getting a lot faster.

    I believe that additive manufacturing will grow rapidly in the coming years. I use my 3D printer at work every chance I get to proof out my designs, as well as making fixtures and gages. It's a lot cheaper and faster. Printers will become faster, better materials will be created, and new processes will be developed. The same thing happened when CNC machining was first introduced in manufacturing.

The results and machines have become much better over the years but the well-known disadvantages still remain. The funny part of building a house is that the actual building part often isn't the biggest hurdle, the financial bit and permits are the most difficult and time consuming.

      Thats dissapointing in and of itself. One, why you would follow something that dissapoints you so bad and second, do so for such a long time without witnessing, touching, feeling, using a quality part made by this process. I’ve been involved for two years and managed through much trial and error to “manufacture” some quite incredible parts that unless you had a trained eye, would know the source of it’s creation. I worry for you, that you are dissapointed by much in life. Keeping in mind, my focus isn’t creating characters, masks, or much of what actually has been popular for the home enthusiast. I’ve been using it to create functional items with an interest in prototyping and creating these parts for things that I design myself. I’d hope you find an interest in something that you find incredible and compels you to move forward and use it while enjoying the process itself. Good luck to you.

People remark that they never would have known that my figurines were 3d printed if I hadn't told them. I had some IKEA cabinets with broken handles. Odd size that wasn't available at the store.

    I am confused by the very idea of the 3-D printed house, whether in Austin or on Long Island. If we want to make fairly customized houses out of concrete, wouldn't everything be cheaper and of higher quality with elements pre-cast in the controlled environment of an enclosed facility, carried to the site on flatbed trucks and then assembled like a jig-saw puzzle? Plus that method would allow multistory structures.

      @davefenton102 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think both methods have their advantages for different build types. Sometimes one can be more economical than the other depending on the design being built.
      I remember a builder doing on-site pre-fad concrete panel/slab houses about twenty years ago in Australia. It was offered as a cheaper option to a traditional house build.
      They would pour the foundation for the house and also a shed. Then, using the shed foundation slab as a base, they would build up the forms and pour them, one on top of the other, until they had all the pre-cast panels done. Then they would hire a small crane for one day, and use it to stand up, move, and place the concrete panels in their final positions.
      I'm not sure how many they built, or how good they actually were, but the idea was an interesting one I thought. Particularly if building a row of modest houses for disaster relief or affordable housing.
      Firstly they start by a crew moving along pouring the foundations one by one. The next crew then moves though building up the forms and pouring them. The first house's panels are poured on the next house's foundation slab beside it, and so on down the row. Then a crew with a crane moves down the row standing them up one at a time. After that, a roofing crew moves through, then an internal fit out and finishing crew.
      Anyway, just a thought....

As in ceramic where needed , Stainless Steel where needed or just building up a wear spot . The wire spray was mostly for Corrosion control .For example a steam valve painted with normal paint needs recoating in a year or 2 , the Stuff we Aluminized was rated for 10-20+ .

    3D modeling is the root of all manufacturing processes. CNC is doable but takes forever without it. FDM and Resin printing is invaluable for rapid prototyping anything. I have 3 printers and it still blows my mind what is capable for just a few hundred dollars investment. I've been machining for over 50 years. I can now sculpt on a tablet and 3D print the same design in a few hours. Multiple small models can be printed at the same time for the cost of a few bucks. I never have to go anywhere to have it done on my schedule. The resin printer can go overnight without supervision.

If 3d printing can print houses faster than builders can build them conventionally, even for the same price, that would be a real winner here. But I was doubtful about the price quoted for that bungalow in Long Island. I’m pretty sure 3d printing can’t wire a kitchen or fit wardrobes or carpets or plumb a bathroom.

    The on-site concrete house building for affordable housing thing reminded me about a builder doing on-site pre-fad concrete panel/slab houses about twenty years ago in Australia. It was offered as a cheaper option to a traditional house build.
    They would pour the foundation for the house and also a shed. Then, using the shed foundation slab as a base, they would build up the forms and pour them, one on top of the other, until they had all the pre-cast panels done. Then they would hire a small crane for one day, and use it to stand up, move, and place the concrete panels in their final positions.
    I'm not sure how many they built, or how good they actually were, but the idea was an interesting one I thought. Particularly if building a row of modest houses for disaster relief or affordable housing.
    Firstly they start by a crew moving along pouring the foundations one by one. The next crew then moves though building up the forms and pouring them. The first house's panels are poured on the next house's foundation slab beside it, and so on down the row. Then a crew with a crane moves down the row standing them up one at a time. After that, a roofing crew moves through, then an internal fit out and finishing crew.
    Anyway, just a thought....

    In Australia we are having home building companies going bankrupt every few days recently- all of whom refused to innovate when the times were good and just kept doing the same processes they have been doing largely unchanged for 30 years. If they had adapted 3D printing, their profit margins would be much safer now and people would be in homes sooner.

      3D printing creates weaker parts, not stronger.
      Time does not like plastic. 3D printing has a negative effect on plastic parts, problems with layer adhesion, as does pressure in the finished parts.
      High cost and low yield printers solve only a few production issues, this video is filled with outdated old information, by people with no deep interaction with the actual process and complexities involved.

    In order for 3d printing to play a significant role in mass production either the price of the machines must fall or major financial resources must be devoted to buying hundreds of machines, most 3d processes are just too slow to take over from turning, forging, injection moulding, diecasting, presswork etc.

      @jeremiahsymonette4781 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hobby grade 3d printing is only useful for cheap prototyping, learning, or super custom things like in ear hearing aid, prosthetics, scaled models etc.
    For anything else it's almost useless. The material is structurally weak, you can't expect to load it for more than 20-30kilos without making your design too bulky, and it is also only +/-0.2mm in dimensional accuracy, you can't build your manufacturing base on top of that.
    I would love to see cheap CNC machines, cheap lathes and cheaper cost of material like aluminium, then maybe local manufacturing can go somewhere.
