Could this be used for sections of the border wall?
To: BenLurkin
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 to help the homeless?
A heck of a lot less than the endless $$$ they throw at the problem.

No. They are not homeless because they don’t have a home.

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.

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.

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.

The world's largest concrete 3D printer constructs a 500-square-foot barracks hut at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center in mid-August in Champaign, Illinois. (U.S. Marine Corps courtesy photo)
