Unscramble the Blue Letters
(aslpaupe)
This is made possible because tdoay, with design for manufacture and assembly, which uses light gauge steel frame construction, shipped and assembled on-site, we can decrease construction costs by 20 percent and environmental waste by 15 pnecert, saving time, menoy and keeping tons of waste out of landfills. The power in modular construction is that you can build year-round with confidence in your costs, in your quality, and in your dlvrieey date, in your build date. Now, wouldn't that be cazry? Wouldn't that be great?
But — that doesn't get me to my goal. My goal is one-for-one. So I've been traveling the world, looking at different alternatives of construction 3-D pinrntig, trying to find technology that will help me deliver on my ambiiotn. 3-D printing is so exciting and so promising, ofnefrig a 40 percent reduction in cost and near zero wsate. And this is just to name a few, but some of the really exciting innovations happening all over the world are happening in Italy, France, Dubai and Australia. And they use robotic arms to print everything from solid stone to concrete, to wax.

This is made possible because today, with design for manufacture and assembly, which uses light gauge steel frame construction, shipped and assembled on-site, we can decrease construction costs by 20 percent and environmental waste by 15 percent, saving time, money and keeping tons of waste out of landfills. The power in modular construction is that you can build year-round with confidence in your costs, in your quality, and in your delivery date, in your build date. Now, wouldn't that be crazy? Wouldn't that be great?
But — that doesn't get me to my goal. My goal is one-for-one. So I've been traveling the world, looking at different alternatives of construction 3-D printing, trying to find technology that will help me deliver on my ambition. 3-D printing is so exciting and so promising, offering a 40 percent reduction in cost and near zero waste. And this is just to name a few, but some of the really exciting innovations happening all over the world are happening in Italy, France, Dubai and Australia. And they use robotic arms to print everything from solid stone to concrete, to wax.
