Rancho Mirage, Calif., the desert playground city dotted with resorts and golf courses, is about to get a jolt into the 21st century. Development group Palari just named it the site of the country's first 3D-printed community, which is set for completion by next spring.
The Coachella Valley community will cover five acres and include 15 eco-friendly homes — all of which will be made from 3D-printed panels by Mighty Buildings, a construction technology company based in Oakland.
Each property will include a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home of 1,450 square feet on a 10,000-square-foot lot with a swimming pool and deck for $595,000. A few will feature an additional 700-square-foot ADU with two bedrooms and a bathroom for $850,000.

For the Rancho Mirage project, the homes come as a kit and fit together like Lego bricks. Mighty Buildings is producing the interior and exterior walls, which come with connectors so they can be easily assembled onsite.
Starr said a typical project of this scale would take around three years, but they're planning for no more than a year and a half since his team can work on the foundations and roads in parallel with Mighty Buildings printing the material for the homes. He claims the houses will take one month to install as opposed to three to six months using traditional methods.

是材料不一样吗？
建这种房子时间和一般房子一样吗?

那这个和preconstuction 的那种房子有啥区别？就是fab pre 建好的， 拿到site安装的房子有啥区别？
主要区别应该是，
过去用电脑做设计，用图纸做施工，3D-printing是在电脑上设计好了之后，直接交付机器制作出来，中间没有人工，至于是现场做还是在工场里做，不得而知。
运输polymer和混凝土比运输造好的房子容易太多了
其实大普通住宅应该比传统方法节省不了多少，这个的长处应该是建比较特殊的形状和结构。
当然，或许现在成本已经降到低于普通建筑了
