3-d PRINTING A HOUSE: EXPERIMENTS UNDERWAY IN CALIFORNIA…AND SOME HIDDEN IMPLICATIONS
January 19, 2014 By

I’ve
been talking about the revolution in manufacturing that 3-d printing
promises, and couching this in terms of a scenario or model that I’ve
been discussing with former Assistant Secretary of
HUD
,
Catherine Austin Fitts, and some other people, that the “push” of 3-d
printing that seems to be taking place in the major and associated media
may be a component of a retrenching of dispersed manufacturing back
into North America by the oligarhical elite. This, coupled with the push
to develop energy resources in North America and elsewhere in the
Western World via fracking techniques indicates the seriousness of this
push. As I pointed out recently, courtesy of information that Ms. Fitts
shared with me, the USA recently passed “net zero” status in terms of
energy imports and exports, meaning the USA produces as much of its
petroleum needs at home as it imports from abroad. That move was
confirmed, you’ll recall, by the “sudden” and dramatic shift in Saudia
Arabia’s orientation as well, as it has begun seriously courting China
and other energy importing nations.
There’s something else happening, and that is the new focus on extending
3d printing
technologies and techniques to large construction projects, and this use is rather breathtaking:
The 3D printer that can build a house in 24 hours
Notably, in addition to building the frame of a dwelling in a short
period of time, as the article points out, it could dramatically reduce
housing costs and also provide dwellings quickly in disaster relief
efforts. Additionally, as the article notes, such dwellings would be
much more robust than a conventionally built house. Basically, human
construction crews would be used for the finishing, note the framing or
dwelling itself. One can even imagine plumbing itself would be
“injected” into the walls via metal or pvc injectors. (Repairs will be a
problem).
Nice… if you want to live in a concrete house….
…or bunker. The possibilities that this large scale
3d printing
offers to military and civil engineering are also enormous, from
everything to quick construction of permanent bases to bunkers, and,
coupled with the latest in plasma-boring technologies, underground
installations…
…and,
other types of structures: “Nasa’s Desert Research and Technology Studies (D-RATS)
facility is
investigating infrastructure elements in order to evaluate the
feasibility of adapting and using the Contour Crafting technology for
extraterrestrial
application
.”
Like everything else, one gets the distinct impression that the
roll-out of 3-d printing was from the black projects world, and that it
may have had something to do with space and defense all along, for that
“extraterrestrial application” confirms another element of the scenario
we’ve been developing: the roll-out of 3d printing, the rapid increase
of domestic energy production, has some connection to the
collateralization of space, a collateralization that will eventually
require a permanent human presence on other celestial bodies, and the
technologies to construct them in the most cost effective and speedy way
possible.
Enter 3-d printing.
