4d and construction insights

   A group is actually trying to introduce 4d printing. Yes, some are trying to innovate beyond 3-d printing. They are trying to introduce this in the environment. as we steadily pump out new innovations that surprise even the creator of 3-d printer in his expansive vision. I guess in some circles printing something customizable needs to be surpassed by something that can morph in use overtime. It is definitely in early pre Beta leaving a a kernel of an idea for consumers who have adopted the throw away culture. This could translate to a huge cultural shift itself but relies on the adoption of 3d printing.

The House printer is being put to use and applied for more than a foundation A contractor with an architectural background built his concrete 3d printer in two years. As I spoke with a finisher on a project I was working on I gained a perspective on the ability to make and earn a fair wage versus safe work conditions. Looking back as long as their hour quota is met many will stretch their need for sleep and unwinding for a bonus on getting a project done early. What if a concrete 3-d printer could take on some of the more dangerous situations that a finisher doesn't get paid extra for and handle them. I think that would be very insightful for the "outside office space" as a whole. Greater safety margins and greater productivity can only be a positive thing in one of the most dangerous industries in the world.
