Construction of all-concrete houses-Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison: The inventor's patent for the construction of all-concrete houses.   When Edison Tried to Make Single-Pour Concrete Houses Happen By Rebecca Onion   This   patent,   filed by Thomas Edison on August 13, 1908, proves that even a man famous for world-changing inventions was capable of producing a less-than-impressive brainchild. Edison’s idea: a house that could be built with one pour of cement. The process could eliminate not only the traditional work of erecting walls and roof but also much of the labor involved in finishing the interiors. Given the right mold, “stairs, mantels, ornamental ceilings, and other interior decorations and fixtures” would all be formed by the same giant piece of concrete. The inventor’s rationale was apparently civic-minded, as he pointed out that the house was “practically indestructible and perfectly sanitary,” as well as being cheap enough to be available to buyers who would otherwise be unable to afford a house

What is the cost to 3D print a house? What is the cost to 3D print a house or rather the "walls" of a house? What is the cost to 3D print the walls of a house? Whenever there is a post regarding 3D printing of homes, we are tagged by friends and colleagues to respond to the advantages of moladi vs 3D Printing. We therefore want to make it quite clear that this post is published purely to summarise our take on the topic and to have the ability to reference these questions and statements without having to repeat what we see as inherent issues associated with the 3D printing process of houses. All of the numbers used for 3D printing cost purposes are assumed, as these cost are not readily available for the purpose of this cost example. We would invite any 3D printing entity to help with the actual numbers to take any guesswork out of the cost estimation. First 3D printing post in 2017:  3D Printing a house or is it in reality - 3D Printing Walls?    - Link The development of m
