Description

3D-printed houses were supposed to change construction forever: faster builds, less labour, and most importantly, cheaper homes. So what happened? In this video, we investigate the rise of 3D-printed housing, from its early promises to projects in the US, Mexico and beyond. We look at what happened when the technology moved from impressive demonstrations to real homes, real construction sites, and real-world costs. Was the technology simply too early, or did the promise get ahead of reality? Watch to see what went wrong, and why the future of 3D-printed housing may look very different from what was originally promised.
