A giant 3-D printer can literally build houses. We’re seeing this in China, and in the United Kingdom. You can get a 3-D house for just 5 thousand dollars!

We see a lot of new technology these days. So much, in fact, that we sometimes tend to tune it out. But this new 3-D printer craze is pretty cool. If you haven’t seen it yet, the 3-D printer can literally build your designs with a special computer program. It takes the blueprints, processes the information and spits out the necessary parts. In fact, it can even put all the pieces together. If you were with us during our recent interview, we talked to a guy in Texas whose using a 3-D printer to produce and assemble automatic weapons! We’ve seen a 3-D printer make a guitar, a camera lens, even medical instruments.

All of that is interesting. But THIS is amazing. A giant 3-D printer can literally build houses. We’re seeing this in China, and in the United Kingdom. And before long, we could start to see 3D printers take a big role in the construction industry.

And thanks to a designer in Great Britain, the blueprints could be available on the internet.

That’s Alastair Parvin, founder of the WikiHouse Foundation. His design punches out all of the lumber to the exact specs. Trusses, frames, walls and windows. The whole thing, ready for crews to put together.

Meanwhile, over in China, video footage shows a 3-D printer building 10 small houses in just ONE DAY’s time! The rise of the machines is real. Using a huge 3-D printer with a robotic arm, engineers sit back and watch their machine do all the work. Mixing ingredients like cement and glass fiber, the robotic arms follow the blueprints, and put everything together.

This is just one more arena where low paying jobs could be on the chopping block before much longer. But the upside: you can get a 3-D house for just 5 thousand dollars.
