Traditional construction is often marked by inefficiencies like material waste, labor intensity, and long project timelines that push up the final cost per square foot. In contrast, 3D printing, or Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC), introduces a fundamentally different approach, shifting from subtractive to additive building processes. Its central ambition is to make housing more
IIRC about 20% of the cost of a new home is framing. So even if they make it free, it’s a nice little cut, but not world-changing.
The technology itself is still interesting. Maybe you could use it for water works or a chemical plant - things where a large, weird-shaped container is the goal.
