Do you think 3d printers will be able to do home wiring in the future?
3D printers changing between different materials is a thing already.
I feel like there are better options than having electricians do grunt work like this.
If we make commie tier apartment blocks maybe we could have giant PCBs inside walls or something.

well yeah, we're already talking about printing homes, so, the obvious next thing is to just print all components

printing copper sounds like most inefficient way to lay copper.

I'm sure they'll be able to eventually, but I don't know that it'll be cheaper to have them do it as opposed to a tradesman during my lifetime (I'm in my mid-30s). When a house is being built, before drywall goes up, it's basically easier than flipping burgers to run electrical and ethernet.
Electrician here: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No, 3D printing is a fairly specific mode of production and general refers to producing an object by building it up in separate layers. In this case you'd just have a robot with multiple functions, one of which would be laying wires, build the house.

bots that lay copper however, feasable. think of copper as having already been 3d printed once its in cable form
