Solar-Powered 3D Printer could House the World

Saw this write up over at Inhabitat the other day, and can’t believe that we have this kind of tech and aren’t pushing serious money behind it.

So here’s a device that can use solar power to melt sand into whatever shape it wants. What’s to say we can’t expand upon this and set-up multiple on a larger scale to churn out housing solutions after a disaster?

I think the applications for this particular technology are astounding, and I look forward to what we can create with it.
