I wrote a science fiction short several years ago that had this technology. This was how they colonized Mars. In my story they used the soil and an imaginary type of glue for raw material.

You,could probably build such a house in an American city for about $50,000 or so.

I looked into something called grancrete, a similar spray on technology idea. Big fly in the ointment is the stuff would seize up the spray equipment and also had cracking problems.
Point is, healthy dose of skepticism should always be allocated to great new ideas.

“nearly 1 billion people in the world dont have access to adequate shelter, a situation that breeds poverty, disease, illiteracy, crime and overpopulation.”
Really? Criminals nowadays have free housing yet they still somehow kill people and could barely read (see rachel jenteal)

Just a step to when they can grow houses and things today that need assembling. I’m sure there is much in science fiction about it.

I like the way they make the walls hollow. That leaves room for spray foam insulation.

This 3D printing is really gathering speed. What if this leads to the replicators in the Star Trek universe?
What if we “replicate” conservatives and TEA Party activists?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
So how come my 2-D printer is still so lousy? It goes through my ink cartridges at lightening speed, jams my paper, drools ink blots on paper media, and works slower than the foursome ahead of me.

Anybody can throw up a lean-to in no time flat.
It’s the finish work that takes time.
