I really want to see a study on how much this costs to produce, what it can hold up to (climate/time) how hard is it to modify... etc.
The idea is interesting and seems like it would be necessary for non-earth living but I really want to see if they can stand the test of time.

This summer, the robotic printer from ICON is finishing the last few of 100 3D-printed houses in Wolf Ranch, a community in Georgetown, Texas, about 30 miles from Austin.
