Section 1: Might generate some high-prices novelty items. But concrete isn't what i want my living room peices made from Section 2: I'l believe it when i see it. Concrete has properties that would make a project like that very dificult to engineer. Section 3: I'm very pesimistic. The weight of the machine could not be supported by the wall, unless each layer was allowed to fully dry, making the contstruction time VERY long.

Whilst not looking prommising for Earth, perhaps for a Moon base construction? With a third the gravity, concrete made from moon dust might not slump. Not sure about the effect of vacuum on the water content. Might evaporate away too quickly.

its based on the fab@home search it on google

the person is obviously not an engineer... cos a house is not only concrete.. wheres the water pipe line? electricity lines? and there isnt enought support in the concrete,

i see what you mean but i guess thats why the robot only makes small pots at the moment. personally i think after alot of development with the robotics itself and also some research into apropriate materials for building the houses this robot could really catch on, especially in third world countries etc. when you think about it building a house is simple enough for a robot its just a question of which materials to use and how to apply them

Actually, it is difficult to construct it in reality. Why? In Material Engineering, especially in Concrete Material. We know concrete will gain its strengthening min 7 days, I means we should make bekisting (box for pouring concrete) before concrete will be poured. If we don't make bekisting, Concrete will leach to land/sand easily. I'm sorry for saying this, this idea is just a spoofing, cause who ever proposed this idea was not an engineer!!!

While not meant for high-end products, this might be a good way to manufacture a large amount of medium to low end goods.

WOW , A CONCRETE COCK AND BALLS!!
