      The electric could absolutely be laid, HVAC channels I suppose could even be built in using concrete rather than metal ducts.

      Plumbing though... eh...

      All of that is doable today. It's enough harder than just making wall that apparently nobody wants to bother with it 😞

      I want it to lay the cables and pick out the furniture and paint the walls 😉

        @stacksofplates this same printer can make a square or any shape needed.

        True, but as the arm operates radially, the largest footprint for any length arm will be the full swing of the arm, and not its inscribed square. They already look pretty small.

          I've seen proof of concepts with others that look more like dry dock cranes that do larger rectangles really well. But mobility is low, obviously. This one looks like you can put it on a truck and drive it from pad to pad.

            @art_of_shred I looked up this unit a bit more last night, to make a bigger house, you just move the arm using the crane.

            It can create the doorways etc and leave them open between wall sections.

            Same thing if you wanted a taller house.

              I wonder if bubble chain homes will have a surge in popularity as three or four circular bits get attached to one another.

                Yeah, it's certainly possible. This one looks like the budget "Habitat for Humanity" model.

                  Sure. You want an upstairs? Throw that bad boy on a stack of pallets and keep squirting cement!

                      You remember those concrete domes that were basically like paper mache over inflated pillows? There's one out in the Midwest somewhere painted to look like a psychedelic caterpillar, that's like 4 overlapping domes in a chain.

                        It's perfect, from what I see, for the third world. In Nica they do man made houses not unlike this but in little squares. This looks like it would do a larger footprint with a cooler design and more solid construction (although they do all cinder block so they are already really solid) with less transportation costs (cinder blocks have to be brought from somewhere.) I could totally see Central American housing developments being made with these.

                              A lot of the excitement around this stuff is less the size and more the ability to explore designs that were impractical before.

                                  If I recall correctly NASA and the private space companies are looking into this technology to build habitats on the moon and mars. The problem they keep running into is how do you get the raw materials there in a consistent manner.

                                    You have to figure out how to produce the raw resources on site... at least as much as possible.

                                      Yep, from the reading I did last year Mars has some decent aggregate that could be harvested by a robot. They still need some kind of binding agent and the most common one, and the one that often works the best, just isn't available on Mars where and when we'd need it.

                                        That'll be a great way to go. They just need to create a cement factory there too, which is totally doable.

                                          @scottalanmiller With what water?

                                          I suppose if they can pull the Hydrogen and Oxygen out of the surrounding material and condense it into water then they'd be able too..

                                          But it's not as easy as going to the local stream and collecting a few billion gallons of the stuff..

                                            If we are talking Mars or the Moon, there is expected to be water there.
