Comment on 3D-Printed Houses Are Already Failing
blackbeans@lemmy.zip 5 weeks agoWhich country are you talking about? Prefab parts are very common here in West and North European homes. Complete prefab houses too, factory made, very well insulated, using heat pumps and underfloor heating, built in plumbing and electrical systems. They do not use bricks but a combination of wood, steel, insulation materials and cladding and are built for a lifespan of around 75-100 years.

Prefab houses are a thing here, too. I was still kicking around the idea of generating a house on site.

Americans have been buying single wide or double wide prefabs since WW2.

The tech has changed significant over the years as well, and that includes both modular, prefab, and mobile homes.
