That would be pretty cool and this whole 3D printing technology is probably going to be revolutionary, but I wouldn't get your news stories and current affairs/events from Alex Jones' Infowars  ;D.

That is cool, hopefully they can also use material like metals to strengthen the building..

Not any time soon: "Partially funded by the Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation Countour Crafting is trying to develop 3D printed buildings using concrete."

Key words 'is trying to'. Just like there are loads of people trying to find the cure for cancers most probably.

YES,
and why would they spend taxpayer money while the current market technologies are more than efficient i mean why change the game towards 3D printing with all progress in hand, the operation is fairly enough automated and with the 3D printing is the aim to a full automation?
new ideas and innovation.

Here is a much more accurate look at he contour crafting concrete 3D Printing discussed here:

No doubt this is the future of building.  3D Printing is the future period!

Actually, I'm under the impression it's far more along than that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdbJP8Gxqog (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdbJP8Gxqog). I could be wrong, but it seems to me there are no major technological hurdles to overcome.

Also, from wikipedia:

Quote
Khoshnevis stated in 2010 that NASA was evaluating Contour Crafting for its application in the construction of bases on Mars and the Moon.[5] After three years, in 2013, NASA funded a small study at the University of Southern California to further develop the Contour Crafting 3D printing technique. Potential applications of this technology include constructing lunar structures of a material that could be built of 90-percent lunar material with only ten percent of the material transported from Earth.

Current building technologies are very inefficient, produce a lot of waste and require a large workforce, by comparison to this method.

Header delivers :D

I imagine soldiers dropping from the plain with a smartphones all over them and screaming: "TAKE THIS YOU DOGE BASTARD" :D
