I have no concern about them being strong, I just don't think they offer any significant advantages over other methods, save one. This method is only being pushed to save on labor for the builder. That savings, what there is of it, will not be passed on to the buyer.
To add to the bullshit list. Placing the main wall is only a small saving (at best) in labor time, not to mention that printed cement houses do require extra time having the foundation leveled to a higher degree.
Prefabricated and prepared panels in a factory on the other hand could save a lot of time in routing plumbing and electricity, not to mention the on-site construction time. (Although it won't happen when everyone wants their house individualized)
I mean, only because the savings don't get passed on. So the problem is socionomic or economic, not technological.
I hate that the modern economic system makes it actually rational to be against automation. It fucking suuuuucks. Let's blow up the ruling class and then automate everything
I’d be concerned about how it holds up to foundation settling over time.
Those buildings must be particularly heavy, and it doesn’t look like the concrete has any sort of reinforcement, so it could be vulnerable to shearing forces.

It's all bullshit from the buyer's POV.

I would hate to run new cables through that joint.

Yeah, are we really not talking about that part? Do you really show off your fancy new construction tech by using footage of Shrek shitting it out?
