A hotel company in Texas is building hotel units with a 3D printer.But if the technology expands, experts say it could take jobs away from humans. And when it comes to 3D printers, they’re right about that.
Lambert says that printing buildings allows for a lot more creativity and unique design features than traditional building methods. According to Lambert, they can include architectural features that would normally be too expensive to do at large scales.The company plans to build 43 hotel units and 18 residential homes, with a completion date of 2026. Similar to the concerns around artificial intelligence , some say using 3D printers to make buildings could put many humans out of work in the future.Indeed, the typical staff for this 3D printing crew is just three people.
