3D printed houses are stylish, affordable, and we want one

3D printing has really grown in the last few years. From printer pens to bulking devices, it captivates us with the promise of a future resembling Star Trek. A Russian company named Apis Cor has brought us one step closer to replicators with their mobile construction 3D printer, capable of printing a 400-square-foot house in about 24 hours.

Using a cement mixer, the crane-shaped printer works ceaselessly to pour stacks of lines that slowly rise into a home. After printing, there is relatively little that must be done: Fill the walls with insulation, install windows and the roof cap, and a coat of paint. The result is a cozy looking home that is quite stylish, and all for about $10,000. Don’t you want one?
