That dude is a man on a mission. I was enthralled watching this video.

[P.Galore]

The world needs more people like him....an optimistic visionary that's willing to get down in the dirt to make things happen.

Let's give these young entrepreneurs the ability to change our direction for the good.

This is the kind of videos that made 60 minutes watchable

I live near that 3D-printed community north of Austin and have toured the model home. It's really nice, and those houses should compete very well against the traditional builds that are going up all over town. I hope these guys succeed because affordable housing is going to be a bigger and bigger issue here in Central Texas, along with much of the rest of the country.

This episode is why 60 minutes is so wonderful..Bravo to these visionaries.

In northern Indiana, in the 50s and 60s, a good number of houses were built with concrete poured in to wood forms. My father was fascinated with them. Even in his old age, he was collecting old plans and had voice recordings of him and the man that came up with the idea and built them.

These guys are not just innovative and cut edge, but they are humble and have a lot of heart. I’d love to have a 3D printed home. Great article.

This guy legit rocks. Hopefully they could scale and the prices come down

[prajwas]

This makes me so proud. To be living in a country where engineering solutions are being applied to uplift the weakest of our society! Wish these guys infinite success 🙌

[conniewojahn]

Only a certain kind of sand can be used in the concrete mix, and there is a world-wide shortage, strange as it seems. There has been some experimentation using finely crushed recycled glass. That would be a win-win because there is a surplus of collected glass in this country. I do so hope this young man succeeds, the US needs him and his houses.

[davidcahan]

It's always hard for me to believe that business people can be altruistic but if these guys really are what they appear to be, they can change the world for a lot of marginalized people

[conorlinehan]

This is actually one of the few things I’ve seen that is truly incredible.

[elsabean]

Geez, why can’t people ever be positive in the comments on anything that isn’t a celebrity or movie clip?? This is revolutionary technology that will literally change things for the better for human beings and all I see is people complaining. Oh well, I’m excited by it! Good luck to these guys.

[sarahiveyward]

Oh how I pray these three men continue to succeed & go places!

[carmnsandiego]

Now that’s a model company of the bright future of USA. Refreshing to watch!

His good energy is infectious. Wish him and his team the best.
