Made of a printable kind of concrete, is my expectation:

No reason this technique can’t be scaled to any needed level, even if it takes many days or weeks to complete a larger structure.

Sorry, I just haven’t clicked on any of the links, but this seems like an odd concept to me. Why wouldn’t you just use forms to cast the concrete in? Why would you ‘print’ it, unless you have a complex 3D shape...

My parents first home was a concrete casted walls home on a slab, with a spancrete flat roof. 1,200 sq.ft. 3 bedrooms. They used the same forms on every house in the neighborhood. Slab on day #1. Let cure. Walls on day #2. Let cure. Crane set roof day #3. That was 1954 for $6,200

With our aging population, this might be the way to provide our needed assisted living properties.
