There are many technologies used nowadays for producing complicated 3D models directly from a computer, these are known as "fabbers" (google "fabbers" for more info). Why not have a big setup with the "Drop-on-powder deposition" technology using many small water jets and sand-cement mixture as the powder...
This setup could actually "print" walls or whole houses directly from the connected PC.
Imagine this: 2 people arrive with a truck, install the device on the ground, another truck brings the sand-cement mixture, cable from the device is connected to the notebook and you just pick a model of the house you want to have built and click PRINT and the device does the rest including the finest details of the stucco. You come back in 5 hours and find....
ooops, there were "2 copies" selected on the Print dialog :))
And you wonder why this is in Computer/Cam category? This is Computer Aided Manufacturing :)
Googling "fabbers"
http://www.ennex.com/~fabbers/
This is probably the first entry you will get when googling the word "fabbers", as the author suggests above. It may or may not be exactly what [slovakmartin] intended for you to see. Unfortunately, it is difficult to know precisely what [slovakmartin] wanted us to see because he was too busily occupied elsewhere to provide his own link. [jurist, Sep 09 2005]

"...and I want the kitchen in 12 point Garamond..." |

For this to work you'd need an existing foundation. |

Okay I definitely want one. For now they can just supersize one of the newfangled fabber/3D-Printers. |

This already exists, believe it or not. See link. |

You could always get the open-source house, but then anyone would be able work out how to break-in. |
