It seems cool but it's really just printing a frame right? It's not going to print the plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof, septic, etc. That's where a lot of the big costs for material and labor come in. I suspect this is why we haven't seen this take off. Modular homes seem to have become popular and seem like a much more realistic way to mass produce homes because they can be made assembly line style in one place and then assembled on site.

    No, they have a method of laying the plumbing and electrical work with it. They’ve been doing this for damn near 10 years already, which is why I’m surprised they haven’t expanded into more building.
