3D Printed Homes: A Concrete Solution to the Shortage?

from Brick by Brick · host CET

If the U.S. builds as many homes as it did last year, experts predict it will take an average of seven and a half years to close the housing gap. How do we speed up construction? One way might be to increase the production of 3D printed houses. This technology is starting to take off in Texas and a few other states. Could it make sense in other parts of the country?  Interview guests: Interview guests: Sandy Curth, PhD researcher who designs and builds sustainable 3D printed structures; Dr. Ali Memari, director Pennsylvania Housing Research Center and Penn State Bernard and Henrietta Hankin Chair in Residential Building Construction; John Smoll, owner Open Vision Builders Brick by Brick WebsiteFeedback Survey
