What it makes, is Plastic.

For making toys, statues, odds and ends, and now even guns. Sure, Plastic is fine...

But a building? Get back to me when it is putting down concrete and sculpting stone blocks on its own...
it's not nonsense. it's the future. whether 5 years or 50, we'll see, but some form of automated fabrication is going to revolutionize construction. it's also going to be the force that brings individuality, customization, and idiosyncrasy back to architecture.
