Wow! I knew that 3D printing will revolutionize manufacture 3D printed houses, toys, tools, guns ... soon everything will be printed ...

It is not that great. It is just simple shack. 2 walls, 2 wall windows and roof. It is improvement of course over cardboard box but who would like a house like that? Probably only the poorest of the poor.

Great, just great. Everytime a new version of Windows is released, you'll have to buy a new printer and build a new house.

The article doesn't offer that much information, but this seems to be comparable to Contour Crafting ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_crafting). That being the case, it is actually pretty cool: typical construction is extremely inefficient, time consuming, usually requiring a lot of man power and producing a lot of waste; but these processes can change all that. And to your point of it being a simple shack, in Contour Crafting at least, the idea is to have a "printer" that can handle the construction of a building following a blueprint that can be arbitrarily complex. In fact NASA has apparently funded them to develop the technology further, with a possible usage being the construction of lunar structures.

Nice find, thanks for posting this. I think there will be many more interesting stories as 3D printing technology advances over time.

If they could construct 10 shacks in just 24 hours, then they might be able to construct at least one normal house in the same 24 hour time period. It is a promising feat, a proof of Chinese innovation.

Saw this report on Global National. These houses are approx 10x stronger than standard building materials. So they will be great for earthquake zones. You can always add on more rooms anyway with the modular design. My $0.02

What more do we need? I really hope that within the next 2-3 years, majority of the construction activity will be done by 3D printing.

Next they will be printing cars, robots, airplanes, tanks and ships. 3D Printers will decide who win the war in the future.

And maybe it'll be most beneficial to the poorest of the poor then. It is not that great. It is just simple shack. 2 walls, 2 wall windows and roof. It is improvement of course over cardboard box but who would like a house like that? Probably only the poorest of the poor.

That's Impossible ! He-he Well at least its not made out of garbage this time Cough the garbage bridge of China http://www.weirdasianews.com/2010/02/05/shanghai-wonderbridge-trash-collapses/That said it has potential since 3D printing is awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0rYO5YI7kA

Well.. it is in China. So those responsible for this theft, and corrupt practice will be severely punished and they public funds which were stolen will be recovered from them. Still.. it is such an embarrassment.

Still.. it is such an embarrassment. True although I have seen a couple shenanigans from China not just in construction but even food and that's a bit harder to detect. http://www.ibtimes.com/chinas-gutter-oil-scandal-110-chinas-cooking-oil-may-be-recycled-garbage-1448384http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJOLCvPm5DgUnless it is an exploding watermelon (HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET IT TO EXPLODE) was the question that got into my mind lol http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-pacific-13421374http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_4yY-i56-IIn my perspective a 3D printed house is a giant step forward though Even if it is a bit more like a Shanty Town or Shed than a real house at least its better quality than the stuff above lol.

Oh god... that was really disgusting. Why the government and the cops are allowing this to happen. Almost threw up after watching that video. I will never eat anything from the outside if I ever visit China. Check this also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrv78nG9R04

Poorest of the poor? Imagine how we can use it: let say a building site - offices and staff's rooms could be done 3D printing instead of wasting a fuel and money Second great idea : a 3d printed camp site near a sea site Or - how to build a garage? 3d print it.

Printing costs are ~75% lower than traditional building approach costs. So it will be very helpful for corporate sector (offices, industrial buildings et cetera).

This will be extremely useful for aid after natural disasters! Ship a 3D printer to the hit zone and families get shelters in hours.
