The Crane WASP, also known as "the infinity 3D printer," uses locally sourced clay, mud or cement to 3D-print affordable homes. It can even use agricultural waste as aggregate. The system is now being used to build much-needed housing in Colombia.
You’re being pedantic about the word “home” and whether they’re fully 3D printed, and I’m not sure why. A home is a place where people live, and whether they have windows or doors is not relevant to that point. The point of the design is that they don’t have to have those things, and they’re considering ongoing problems like climate change; the western ideal of a “home” is actually an impractical design when you start to consider the environment as it is.
And yes, they have to infill the insulation. Nobody is claiming these homes are built without human intervention.
Are you just trying to find weird ways to shit on a thoughtful way to help people?
The things they have chosen as demonstrators have holes in the roof! They are not suitable as homes by any reasonable definition. I also think that light and security are necessary for a home. Certainly if you are trying to improve on an existing “subpar dwelling”.
If they wanted to demonstrate how they can 3D print homes in rural Colombia, why didn’t they print something that would be suitable to be a home in rural Colombia? They only had to load a different model into the printer, right?

Bruh, are you for real?
Do you think that these might be some of the subpar dwellings that they’re talking about: https://southamericabackpacker.com/exploring-slums-of-medellin-colombia/ ?
No, I’m not serious. Of course they don’t need roofs or windows or multiple storeys. I’m just joking about that stuff.
That’s what I thought. Bye.
