World's First 3D Printed Estate Coming To New York 108
New submitter Randy-tanner (3791853) writes A well known New York architect & contractor has begun construction on what is possibly the largest 3D printing related project ever undertaken. He is 3D printing an entire estate, which includes an in-ground swimming pool, a pool house, and a huge 2400 square foot home. The project is expected to take two years to complete, and if all goes as planned the printer will automatically insert rebar into the concrete.

Progress happens when you take something that has potential but isn't yet viable and make it viable.
If you could 3D print a foundation and increase the quality and durability of it then it makes sense since I know for a fact that concrete is a complicated process that has potential for major failure if not done properly.
