Could this be used for sections of the border wall?
Saw a video of a robot building a cinder block wall and mortaring the joints a few months ago. Pretty cool.
>>Could this be used for sections of the border wall?<<
Could this be used to help the homeless?
A heck of a lot less than the endless $$$ they throw at the problem.
Oh, militarized 3-D printing.
“Could this be used to help the homeless?”
No. They are not homeless because they don’t have a home.
Bttt.
5.56mm
then they blew it up real good.
give me 10 mexicans and some concrete forms and I’ll have it done in a day
My first thought as well.
I don’t know what final design will be picked for the wall, but what they are putting up now in replace and repair sections is only concrete on the bottom, mostly underground. What is above ground is metal sections attached to the concrete, the reason for this is Border Patrol requested a see through fence so they could see what is going on behind the wall. The metal sections go up fast though- if the bottom part could be 3D printed it might work great.
WOW!!!! That is cool. I’d like to watch this process. I’ll hazard a guess the you can’t get the Printer at Wally*World ?
Interesting.
Construction is about to undergo a revolution. So is agriculture with robots doing a lot of work farmers used to do like seeding and harvesting.
I have been waiting for this for a long time. The possibilities are enormous.
This might be an area for investment...:)
Ooh, a 500 sq. foot. ‘barracks.’ Must be for enlisted personnel.
Does the 40 hours include setting up and taking the 3D printer? And how quickly could some slip forms for the same sized structure be set up?
Gee whiz for the sake of gee whiz.

By the way, piss OFF the LEFTIST Censors. FREE 3-D printed gun blueprints here, so download all 10 or so!
