The windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical systems are then added by a human worker.

Which will take an additional 6 months ...

However the construction company will still charge $750,000 for it and the bank will generate that much consumer debt on it just because they bribed the right lawmakers. Brilliant system.

$80 a square foot for this simple box is not exactly going to leave conventional construction in the dust.

Yeah, but the INK CARTRIDGES cost a million bucks apiece.

I really wish people would get out of this “tiny house” kick. . .

3D printing is going to be revolutionary for us. I read about cars being made from 3D, so you might make your own house, car and furniture from 3D printing.

That’s a whole house? Our enclosed back porch is bigger than that.

It’s hard to detect exactly what parts are made by the printer. Based on the materials listed in the article and the frame diagram, I’m guessing it’s the frame of the house. All the windows, doors, floors, trim, electrical, plumbing, bath fixtures, appliances, etc are conventional.

If that’s the case, then, honestly, this doesn’t seem like much of an innovation or cost-saving breakthrough. A couple of carpenters could frame a simple box 800 sq ft house in a day or two and framing lumber is cheap.

Watch conventional houses getting built and you see the frame goes up real quickly. It’s what comes after the frame that takes the next nine months.

I am really laughing. Why?

The “greenie weenies” will love this form of house-making.

And where do the raw materials for carbon-fiber materials and 3-D printing come from?

The petrochemical processes in the fossil fuels industry!!! They come out of by-products in the refineries.

I’ve been watching the Tiny House Nation show recently, and it seems they build the houses from scratch for not much more than this company.

I wouldn’t want to live in a tiny house, but for those who want to, it looks really cool, like a very upscale RV when you build it in a trailer you can haul around.
