Giant 3D concrete printers are changing how houses, buildings and infrastructure can be built. See how automated construction machines print concrete walls layer by layer, create multi-story homes with small crews, embed wiring and plumbing during construction, and produce complex shapes traditional brickwork struggles to build. From 100-home developments in Texas and load-bearing apartment buildings in Europe to topology-optimized bridges, underwater concrete printing, tunnel linings, wind turbine bases and military shelters, this documentary explores the machines, materials and engineering behind 3D printed construction—and the limits that still stand between this technology and mainstream building.

Also, they really need to add a pair of trowels on the machine at the nozzle to smooth the concrete on both sides as it's being added to the material below. The current method wastes a lot of material, adding to costs and adding worthless weight. It also produces crevices for water get into which will split the wall when it freezes and expands.
This system might be worthwhile in a few years, but it needs a lot of improving.
Maybe walls- roof, fit out ,windows , plumbing, electrical etc
Im Druckverfahren ist die Realisierung organischer Formen viel einfacher. Die Statik, die Schönheit der natürlichen Form von Pflanzen, kann besser nachgebildet werden. Besser und schneller als es
irgendein Handwerker je gekonnt hat. Die Drucktechnik in Kombination mit gleichzeitig arbeitenden Handwerkern und Künstlern wäre hier das nächste Level!
