No they didn't print homes in a week. A shell of a home is not a home. A stick built frame goes up in a similar amount of time.

IIRC about 20% of the cost of a new home is framing. So even if they make it free, it's a nice little cut, but not world-changing.

The technology itself is still interesting. Maybe you could use it for water works or a chemical plant - things where a large, weird-shaped container is the goal.

Brick and mortar is an addative process🤦
