Winsun 3D R&D Center in Shanghai - Largest 3D Printing Building Construction 

This points out the necessity of putting expansion joints in their work so it can naturally expand/contract with heat/cold. (I see some of those they have already, I guess they just need more / better planning for that.)

That's the form for pouring foundation, not a "wall"

Corners have been cut, quality materials have been substituted out, planned obsolescence at maximum profit for the builders has been achieved. Life expectancy for the building - 4-7 years.

@@protorhinocerator142 So you didn't watch the video huh? Also you are wrong on every level. In fact you could not be anymore wrong. WOW. Even by internet standards that was an insane amount of ignorance you spewed there while babbling on about topics which you clearly know nothing about. Be happy the world has innovators in it to make the world a better place. All while the willfully ignorant people like yourself talk crap about all of the hard work and intelligent new processes and inventions that they come up with. Truly pitiful kiddo. SMH

Try emailing their company

According to WorldPost and Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis words: “WinSun basically copied my patents, infringed on my patents”

Are you really sure???? Does Great wall of china uses Steel beams when ancient Chinese built it???

Does building in Jerusalem have steels inside??? Used your brain. Does ancient building have steel structure inside their walls??

try emailing their business office... You got money?

Enrico Dini the D shape printing methods, they use sand. You can see how its work in youtube :)

If its money then yes :)

I think it's bad investment Mr. Before investing just try to gather information about this company. I recommend you tho have a look of Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis (President and CEO of Contour Crafting) toughs about this company and their printing methods. (My recommendation DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN MEDIA )

On-site printing takes too much time and results in a lot of waste. The site must be prepped, foundations prepared for the printing equipment, the entire site sealed from the elements to ensure the concrete pours and dries properly, and concrete trucks lining up to ensure a steady supply of material for the printer. This added time, materials, and labor increases the cost by as much as 50%. Factory built is the future of construction. Most everything in construction today is manufactured off-site.

@@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams. I can't help but think there's a sweet spot where some of the major parts are built off-site (and thoroughly tested by an independent agency), and then a local on-site team uses some pre-fab parts and some local construction. Even if you buy a mobile home, you still have to do some on-site prep work. I might even be inclined to buy a mobile home if they had a progressive quality standard system. The minimum is 1. This is the usual mobile home people expect. 2 would be a step up. Better construction, better parts. 3 would be another step up from there, to the point where you could reasonably expect the home to appreciate in value, rather than depreciate. Mobile homes typically depreciate, unlike normal houses. 4 would be entering luxury territory. And then the real estate company would need to be certified at that level to make sure the resulting home still meets the level you paid for. They need some on-site construction skills.

@@protorhinocerator142 Everything you stated is in place. The structure and components must meet minimum requirements. While developing their process from existing technologies Winsun tested and fine tuned everything from facility temp and humidity to the cement mix to the extruder head, and extruded cement thickness, width, and shape to ensure the most strength. Thats not to say corruptions isn't possible. Particularly if a business is owned by a high level party or government member. The foundation, plumbing, electrical, windows, exterior cladding, subflooring, finished flooring, and all the interior finishing is completed on-site. Many of the components installed on-site, like all other construction projects, are manufactured off-site. Off-site component manufacturing has been a staple in the industry for the last several thousand years. All the blocks to build the Egyptian pyramids were shaped off-site for maximum efficiency. Kits, SIPs, log homes, and the like are manufactured and assembled in roughly the same manner. Pieces arrive and are assembled. There are multiple levels of manufactured homes and other structures. There are basic single to triple section home models to 30 piece modulars homes. Manufactured homes are placed on block piers to permanent foundations with full basements. One can buy a manufactured entry level home for as little as $40k placed on blocks (mobile home) to a three story with a full walkout basement and an attached ten car garage for $2 million (modular). Mid level two or three section manufactured homes (former called mobile) placed on a permanent foundation appreciate in value at the same rate as comparable site built homes. The same is not true for entry level manufactured homes with paneling instead of drywall, plastic fixtures, wood look plastic trim, and other cheap materials on a permanent foundation. Such entry level manufactured homes may be titled as real property (because of a permanent foundation and/or local code). However due to the materials used in its construction, the economic life of the entry level version is much shorter than a comparable site built home. Additionally the market says this entry level manufactured home is not as valuable as a comparable site built home due to its appeal to buyers. As such you are correct this example entry level manufactured home would not appreciate, and in some instances of deferred maintenance and location may depreciate, at the same rate as site built or other manufactured homes. Modular homes appreciate equally to comparable site built homes. Like site built homes and other structures a range from basic to high-end manufactured homes and structures does exist. Rules, regulations, and codes do exist to protect life, reduce energy, and reduce environmental impact. However, there is always a risk of fraud, deception, and corruption at every turn. Everything going into a structure has value. As such nothing is safe from fraud. Using a reputable company minimizes the risk. Manufacturing is the most efficient way to build structures. Efficiencies are key to success. Manufacturing efficiency equals valuable saving. Saving time and materials are key factors. Consistent product, reducing errors and waste follow. I saw an entire five story 23 unit apartment building go up in a matter eight days. Each module was 100% completed, including exterior cladding and weather proofing between modules. When the final modular section was placed on top and plugged into the electrical, water, gas, and sewer lines the entire building was 100% complete. The only item preventing moving in was the final sign off by the building inspector. The building passed inspection the next morning. Time will tell if these modules, designed and built by the same company that produces modules for cruise ships, will stand the test of time without maintenance and interventions exceeding normal maintenance and other economic life extending measures on comparable site built structures. Lastly homeowners being on-site during any part of the process is a nightmare 99.99% of the time. 99.99% of homeowners have zero build experience or knowledge. All they do is slow the process down with needless interruptions, constant questions, commentary, and get in the way. Safety measures help to keep most homeowners out of the way. There is always that one homeowner who is a self proclaimed "expert". Often times it takes a call to a health and safety inspector to get the homeowner booted from the site. Even then they often can't stay away. Cheers!

@@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams. Holy cow and I thought I was the one writing all the walls of text.

@@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams. This was the most detailed and thorough response to any question I have ever seen. Perfectly done Cameron, and 100% correct, I am very impressed!!!

Those who didn't click the videos and who didn't comment, you clearly care
