ScienceAlert Staff From pizzas to prosthetic limbs, 3D printers never cease to amaze – and now the technology can help us build 10 houses in a day. 3d-printed-houses Image: WinSun Decoration Design Engineering A gargantuan 3D printer is making up to 10 houses in less than 24 hours out of recycled materials. The masterminds behind the clever technology work at WinSun Decoration Design Engineering in Shanghai, and they hope their invention will make the housing market more affordable, giving everyone the opportunity to buy their own home. Each 3D-printed house is about 60 square metres and costs US$4,800 dollars. Although this is not the first attempt to 3D-print houses, so far it’s the fastest and cheapest. According to Gizmodo, purists argue WinSun’s project isn’t truly 3D-printed because they don’t use plastic and the houses are printed in blocks that are then assembled on site, but does it really matter? We think we should just be celebrating the fact there is a new technology in town that can provide affordable housing for those who need it most. Source: Gizmodo

Where's a link? I want a pizza! “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Most pizza chains have been making product from post consumer recycled waste for years.

There's nothing more at the Science Alert site but just search "pizza-3d-printing" or whatever else you want printed and you should get lots of ideas.
Doesn't leave much room for an American contractor to charge suckers....err, HOMEOWNERS, $140,000+ to have a shoddy, drafty, piece of shit structure built by illegal mexicons.......
