Hello! im interested in discusing about 3d printers that can print cement or adobe.

I build some stuff with 3d printers and integrate it to my garden. I have laser cut and a small cnc. I can also draw stuff with modeling software and print it.

I was wondering if anyone wants to chat with me about this because when i talk about this with my Chilean friends most look at me like im crazy ajajaj but i know it can be done, i´ve seen it in USA and Germany and Asia and i know there is many more.

as information; I live in a climate that makes a lot of grass, tall grass. We make adobe here and some adobe houses in Valparaiso are still here since like 200 years, something impressive for Chile, a very sismic place. So, this material is perfect for printing small things, like fences, pots, barbacues, chairs and tables, fireplaces, statues, art, infrastructure for birds nest in wetlands, it has dozens of uses at least.

The way i imagine is 2 robotic arms, one designed to pour the cement and the other one to carfully lay tall grass in like weird patterns to see if that makes the house stronger or not and so on.

is it doable? i know it is.


thanks!
