Well done. It’s needed so urgent. Craftman still work like in the 60-90ies. They are sooo old school. And call it „tradition“.

If they use a laser for measuring things, that‘s advanced. If they use a smartphone and digital apps for notes and customer contact (instead of pen and manual notebook) that’s advanced. Wtf.

I had quite many craftman in my house last years and it’s unbelievable how they work nowadays. Two of them even didn‘t send me a final invoice. Well, that’s stupid backoffice work. Many couldn‘t send me an offering after having a (time consuming) site visit at my house. One showed up twice because he lost his paper with the measurements. And didn‘t send an offering.

Nono, I lost all my respect about any modern capabilities of craftman. It’s insanely old schooled.

Coming back to the 3d printer: How is construction building up a house nowadays? One after the other is doing their work. Nobody thinks ahead. How do they lay out pipes, lighting or power lines? By cutting into the wall. Why? Because of tradition. Any documentation? With pen and notebook? No way. How laying tiles in a bathroom? Showing up with a stack of tiles and cut it one by one. Laser measure it first and cut ahead at their shop to save time? Well, the leaning walls and tradition, they will answer.

I do not wonder that building up houses became insanely costly.

Sorry for my rant. But my experience were just eyeblowing and frustrating. (And as my mother was a craftman I know that matter a bit)
