There is no doubt that the 3-D printing technology will revolutionize manufacturing and the world we live in over the next 25 years. While most people today will view the idea of printing your own house as utterly ridiculous, this company in China is already doing the deed.
The cheap materials used during the printing process and the lack of manual labour means that each house can be printed for under $5,000, the 3dprinterplans website says.
Truly amazing. Yet, there is a bigger story here. Imagine designing, ordering and printing your own McMansion in a matter of days and at the fraction of today’s cost. Just another nail in today’s real estate market bubble? We will see, but it does look promising.

BBC Writes: China: Firm 3D prints 10 full-sized houses in a day
A company in China has used giant 3D printers to make 10 full-sized, detached single-storey houses in a day, it appears.
A private firm, WinSun, used four 10m x 6.6m printers to spray a mixture of cement and construction waste to build the walls, layer by layer, officialXinhua news agency reported.
The cheap materials used during the printing process and the lack of manual labour means that each house can be printed for under $5,000, the 3dprinterplans website says.
“We can print buildings to any digital design our customers bring us. It’s fast and cheap,” says WinSun chief executive Ma Yihe. He also hopes his printers can be used to build skyscrapers in the future. At the moment, however, Chinese construction regulations do not allow multi-storey 3D-printed houses, Xinhua says.
The method of 3D printing has become more widely used in recent years. Manufacturers and designers have been able to make everyday items such as jewellery and furniture, as well as more specialised objects like industrial components.
