It might be concrete but it's not reinforced concrete. Where are the steel reinforcing rods?

This is a very modest structure, about 22 feet square, about the size of a two car garage. A human crew could build a stronger structure of the same dimensions in the same amount of time easily. A trained crew that reused the forms could do it in half the time or better.

I see a very temporary building:

No reinforcing steel, no aggregate in the cement, every layer is a cold joint.

Any pressure testing of this type of work?

A wire lathe is integrated between printed passes.
