It is the Hype that gets under my skin.
I know the method has a great deal of potential, it is just every time I turn on the TV, it is made out as if it is already doing all these things.
Printing parts and bits of a building is something I expect, and will indeed be a boon to the industry.

The article posted just rubbed me the wrong way because it talked about 'Printing' a whole building all in one go. And lets be fair, that article WAS using just plastic and polymers in the construction process

Robots and 3D printers are the cast iron molds of the 21st century.
And that right there is something to consider, I was not aware of that Vid, and I appricate the knowledge.
