My favorite thing about the concrete walls is that it emphasizes the horizontal. Vertical emphasis is more dramatic, but can also be more intimidating and stressful. Horizontal emphasis is naturally more welcoming and relaxing. Frank Lloyd Wright often emphasized that home architects should always bias towards horizontal emphasis over vertical.

Well, the thermal mass of the concrete helps a lot, and putting insulation inside behind those panels doesn’t seem like too tough a thing to implement. Might also be possible to print walls in the same way corrugated cardboard is made, to make gaps inside the walls that can be filled with insulation. A honeycomb design might even make it particularly resistant to tornados and hurricanes. It’s already probably better than wood frame houses against high winds as is. I worry about earthquakes, though, and freeze-thaw cycles. Perhaps they could lay cable down on each pass of the printer head, and print double layer walls, one layer on each side of a line of vertical rebar poles.
@BananenBoerBob2 жыл бұрын
From the construction montage there looks to be gaps that could insulate and there don't appear to be obvious cold bridges connecting the outer and inner walls so it would work pretty much exactly like traditional masonry. The way each layer slightly varies is going to make it very anoying to fit or hang things to the wall. I also wonder how building height factors in to strength with this technique

The popular housing at the beginning of the video looked very interesting. Having said that I would be kind of concerned with two aspects for this type of construction method: 1- Concrete is known to have high water retention. If the mixture is not very well controlled, it could start to "sweat" in high precipitation environments, which is the cause of mold forming outside or inside a house. In that sense, I would think wall plaster with insulation may be necessary to seal off the moisture. 2- Plumbing and electric wires should be very well thought (perhaps using internal dry walls) because you don't want to go breaking and cementing later large sections of concrete walls to fix a leak.
@xenonnati Жыл бұрын
with a dual extrusion nozzles ( that exist in regular desktop 3d printers) you could simultaneously print the concrete walls and an extra insulation layer.. be that a filling on the inside, or an exterior insulation material. would be just as fast as before and doesn't require extra manual labor. also you can have a different finish to the lines ( although aesthetic in my opinion ) by adding other thickness nozzles, extra movements, having the 3d printer on a 4 axis arm, there are a vast array of options you can explore.

Dirt , spiders, and bugs "sticking to it" , then trying to deal with plumbing, elextrical etc, and even try hanging a shelf or picture. :-)) that texture is aweful. even beyond cleaning it has problems. the novelty would wear off quickly. and trying to cover that up with wood, plaster, etc...

EVEN The ones that are supposed to be "larger rooms" Oh and I live in a mostly solid cement walls and roof/ceiling ... I will call Bull Sheets on it being 75 F inside on days when it is in the 90's . I live in the desert and once it starts warming up in the spring in the "90's" after a few days the cement warms up, the walls warm up and there is no way you are going to have 75F inside without turning on the AC. if it goes "hot" then cold" then "hot" the cold for a couple of days, then Maybe... But after after a few solid days or warm/hot temps, the cement warms up. and as the temps keep on climing for "the SUMMER/ spring" the walls of the building keep getting warmer. In the low desert in AZ, if I turn off the AC it will "quickly" start climbing toward the 90's F. I guess higher if you forget to turn on the AC. Oh, and of course the Reverse happens in the winter. Sure the novelty of this is "cute" but the reality is.................. Not So Great. especially if you DON'T want just a little/cramped "single persons" condo/vacation condo" and You don't want the MESS of unfinished cement walls.

One great feature of 3D printing is you can be as organic as you like incorporating subtle curves into the design as per the entrance to this house. Also the inbuilt planter is a nice feature and its probably possible to make living walls with embedded planter (simply add them as the printer goes along). Insulation poured between two layers shouldn't be that difficult either..

As some1 who recently built a house. Walls were the cheapest and quickest part of the house. Blocks(silicate) and lintels(2 of which were over 3m long) for single storey were like 7k EUR and all the walls were built in just 2 days. Insulation+fixutres+plasterr for the entire house was more and it took way longer to install it.

This is unique and "wonderful" for people who haven't visited Asian countries. Houses in these regions use Concrete and Bricks extensively in their homes. Americans. on the other hand, still, heavily rely on traditional housing materials such as wood. There's a HUGE amount of customization involved, which is trained labor intensive, which drives up the cost. This technology can be really useful for very large clusters of Community Housing. Multiple automated concrete-laying robots could work 24x7, without tiring or stopping. This would hugely reduce labor costs.

This won’t work in Los Angeles. I live in LA and the city has some of the strictest building codes in the United States. Not only that but, the earthquake codes alone would disqualify these types of houses from being built without any type of rebar or caisson footings. A lot of times, houses on hills in Los Angeles (think Hollywood hills or studio city) have super strict building codes that require caisson rigs to come in and dig until they hit bedrock (which could be anywhere from 1 foot to 20 feet deep). You wouldn’t get past a city soils inspections before you laid your first inch of cement, let alone a building permit from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety.

The company should investigate the use of foamcrete/aircrete that has a higher insulation value over the solid concrete walls for colder climates. They should also think of a way of smoothing the walls as it is extruded if the patterned texture is not required instead of having to plaster it over, or even manually trowel them smooth while the concrete is still plastic. Curved walls have more structural strength than flat walls so this idea can be incorporated into the design, as well as printing columns. I have thought about the idea of printing houses for a while so have a few ideas.

I've always wondered if walls like that will end up cracking, as larger pieces of concrete tend to crack over time. Interesting concept to say the least.

Your walls aren't going to face that much pressure or wear. I do understand your point about the Z axis though

Walls that are built with curvature are actually immensely more structurally sound than a straight wall and require very little to no extra reinforcement which is why they designed the home this way.

If you look, you can see the walls aren't solid, but two layers with a wavy middle bracing section. This forms a chance of the insulation properties. Wiring conduits are just designed into the print. Ive seen some that just stop a wall at the conduit and the operator lays in the PVC channeling for the wires. Same for plumbing. Humidity and strength would come down to the overall design. Its still using what looks like SIP panels for the roof, so airflow could be built into where the roof sites on the printed walls. I, for one, and really glad to see other options for building being experimented with, otherwise I can't see how my kids would ever be able to afford their own homes without being multimillionaires.
