Presumably, long term these kinds of printers would be ubiquitous, so you just pop into your nearest hardware store, give them the CAD file or a picture of what you want and they just print you a replacement. But obviously like with any new technology it's the initial bit which might be painful.
- tempoponet 2y agoHow do you figure? We're talking about the structure of a home, not a modular component of one. A 3d printed car frame would be impractical to replace, let alone the side of a house.
- gambiting 2y agoSure, but if I make a hole in the side of my house I don't need to replace the entire wall - I can patch it up. I'm sure the same is true here?
- klyrs 2y agoNo, that's exactly my point. The walls are all printed together as a single monolithic building. I can do a repair in my house to the point that you can't tell it was ever broken. I'm not confident you can do the same here.
