I came across this article on a landlord website that I use.

I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

Re: Automated housebuilding
I had heard of quite a few developments from 3D printing but nothing this big before now, though the principle is still the same - only the scale is different.

In 2014 3D printed organs such as livers for transplants... http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/ ... ed_in_2014
The list seems endless...

Re: Automated housebuilding
I've seen several types of house building 3D printers, this one currently seems closest to actual being production ready. We will be seeing an explosion of 3D printing over the next couple of years, A lot of the patents are no longer applicable, you can get a plastic 3D printer ready to go from about $500, and sometime in the next couple of months one of the key metal 3D printing patents lapses. THAT, is going to result in some major changes.

The Dymaxion House-a prefabricated house-looked remarkably similar to the Contour Crafting structure. It dated back to 1929.

Two other fields to keep track of: Information Technology (IT), of course; and Programmable Matter.
