[Bf-committers] Inventing Pseudo House Printer Technology

[Brian Korsedal]

Hi guys,

I've got a neat technology and I'd like to see if you guys would be
interested in doing a joint project or a design competition.  Basically, I
wrote software which can make a steel space frame in any shape.  It's not
quite a 3D printer, but it works today and we can make stuff the size of
warehouses.  We hope to turn it into a computer generated house maker over
the next year.

We have a design competition going on right now, but no one seems to be
interested.  We're not getting a lot of flak from people because we call it
a 3D printer, which it isn't exactly, but very similar in results and it
works today, rather than 10 years from now.

I was wondering who in your community we could talk to about doing a joint
design competition?  We'll manufacture the winner, which will probably be
around 30ft by 30ft by 15ft tall.

Here is an example of a cool structure we'd like to build some day:

Here is a description of how our software works and links to files for our
design challenge:

We've built six structures to date and we'd like to keep doing this, but
we're making zero progress with connecting to the public.  We kinda think
this technology would be a 3D designers dream, but we might have to quit,
which would be tragic.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TLDR:
