"Kirill Ilin's construction company Amcrete constructed the concrete walls of their ground-breaking new four-bedroom prototype 'layer by layer by layer' right on its Waiuku site.

He says houses made with concrete poured by a computer-controlled 3D printer are energy-efficient, quick to construct, and, because of their durability and recyclability, also sustainable."

@strypey It's interesting stuff, though, and I don't want to completely dismiss it just because I'm not blown away by the current technology. It might be more interesting if they could use a less carbon-intensive material than concrete. And if they could automate other parts of the build process.
