    The author seem to have taken the press-statement from the 3d-printing-company and subtracted some pictures and the metric units.
    Without transparency about costs per m² compared to other construction methods it is just an advert.

    Unfortunately, I couldn’t really find more information. All results of a web search about this project in this state seem to be the same press statement almost copied verbatim.

      I don’t think the manufacturer will publish those numbers.

      On the peri-website, there are some numbers relating to printing-speed, layer-thickness and -width and setup-times (english / german). With those one could calculate approximately how long it could take to print a certain building in optimal conditions.

      More than that you will probably not get out of them.

      My comment was no dig at you for choosing that article. 3d-printing is kind of interesting and with the scale of printers needed here, there will not be a lot of independent information very soon.

      But I’m glad there is some public focus on construction methods, even if the “recent” developments in construction that I personally think are good for future-proofing the industry and reducing CO2-emissions (like increased use of prefabrication even on smaller scales and more use of wood on larger scales (e.g. cross-laminated-timber) are not that “interesting” to the public.

        I didn’t take it as that. I just find the topic interesting and a probably pioneering new technology that could benefit us all (yeah, I know, it’s not gonna benefit us all for fucking capitalism, but it has the potential) is very intriguing to me. The monetary side of things is just something that usually does not pop into my mind at firsr, so.your comment was a reminder that it could be a relevant question and I’m kinda disappointed I couldn’t find more info about it. I’m even more disappointed though that all the news outlets has word by word almost identical articles posted and there was no sign of actual research in their behalf.

          That might (sadly) be a product of our times:

          1. Some interesting topic (3d-printing) pops up
          2. People reuse that information on their ad-monetized platform.
          3. profit…
