Comments by "Kevin Street" (@Kevin_Street) on "The Truth About 3D Printed Homes" video.
Thanks for the video. It's really interesting to go back and take a second look at something you've featured before. I'm not sure that 3-D printing will be a good solution to the problem of building homes for people who are homeless or who currently live in poor housing conditions. It's an expensive new technology that needs to be imported, and will require specially trained workers to operate. This is an example of using technology to solve what's really a logistics and organization problem. These areas have plenty of available labor. What's needed is a way to source and deliver materials cheaply (From within the local area, ideally. The TECLA people got that part right.), then organize the available labor and get things built. Money spent on acquiring local materials and paying local workers will produce a better result than importing new technology from abroad.
