Remember the huge CNC we showed you in June? That one was made for milling out enormous wooden molds; but Behrokh Khoshnevis is working on a gargantuan 3D printer that can print out entire houses.
Khoshnevis is a professor of Industrial & Systems Engineering at the University of Southern California, and his system, Contour Crafting, calls for a moveable gantry whose rails are riding on ground presumably leveled the old-fashioned way, by a construction crew. Concrete houses can then be built up layer by layer, just like on a MakerBot, with spaces left empty to have plumbing and electrical modules inserted within them.
