World's First 3D Printed Estate Coming To New York

Posted by Unknown on from the print-your-own-castle dept.

New submitter Randy-tanner (3791853) writes A well known New York architect & contractor has begun construction on what is possibly the largest 3D printing related project ever undertaken. He is 3D printing an entire estate, which includes an in-ground swimming pool, a pool house, and a huge 2400 square foot home. The project is expected to take two years to complete, and if all goes as planned the printer will automatically insert rebar into the concrete.

    Um...you can ride a horse drunk?

    Depends on how drunk is the horse.
    I can have no problem what so ever riding in a car drunk.

    That was my first thought. 2400 square feet is hardly a "huge" "estate". I grew up in a 2,250 square foot house. 3 bedrooms, bonus room, and large living room. It didn't have a parlor, music room, den, study, library, conservatory, servant's quarters, etc.

    How perfectly horrible. How did you manage?

    Did you camp the servants out back in the garden?
