They say Rome wasn't build in a day, but this house was!

3D printing a home usually involves creating the parts off-site and constructing the building later...
2.
... But not this time!
3.
Apis Cotr, 3D printing specialists based in Russia and San Francisco, say the walls of the building were printed and painted in just 24 hours.
4.
Apis Cotr uses a mobile printer to print their apartments on-site.
5.
“Printing of self-bearing walls, partitions and building envelope were done in less than a day: pure machine time of printing amounted to 24 hours,” the company said.
6.
Once the house has been completed, the printer is removed with a crane-manipulator and presumably the roof is then added, followed by the interior fixtures and fittings.
7.
Nikita Chen-yun-tai, the inventor of the mobile printer and founder of Apis Cor, explained his desire is “to automate everything”.
8.
“But all printers created before shared one thing in common – they were portal type. I am sure that such a design doesn’t have a future due to its bulkiness. So I took care of this limitation and decided to upgrade a construction crane design.”
9.
He adds: “We want to help people around the world to improve their living conditions. That’s why the construction process needs to become fast, efficient and high-quality as well. For this to happen we need to delegate all the hard work to smart machines.”
10.
The house (built in Russia) can last up to 175 years and cost just $10,134 to build, the company added.
11.
What do you think, is this the future of building houses?
