Modular construction.
3D printing of houses, well that could really make some changes to our industry, in design and in construction.
This video shows one method of 3D printing and no doubt there are many more. Essentially it appears as though this manufacturer is creating a SIP (structural Insulated panel) and then trucking the SIP to site for construction. It is fantastic to see the innovation of such products and I am excited to see where this goes in the future.
The following video shows how the architect uses 3D software to create a CNC cut out to create a very customised structure. Yes there is work to do as far as thermal insulation and thermal mass yet the house only took 4 weeks to build. I would be interested to know how long the design took. I must say I love the innovation. Just imagine what could be done with another couple of weeks of tweaking.
Thanks John Clements for letting me know about this revolution.
If you have an example of the same or similar please feel free to share.
