Sure, but 3D printings greatest advancements have been opening up new engineering possibilities, not replacing old refined and efficient ones.

3D printed complex structures for cooling systems, or molecular structures are things we couldn’t do before. Or printing small batches of rare parts or prototypes that would otherwise require injection mold design and fabrication are great advancements.

We don’t have any problems building houses fast. It’s all financial (capitalistic) and social problems that are making home ownership hard right now.
