Pre-fab is quite limiting mainly due to its dimensions. You need it built under certain limitations so it can be shipped afterward. And either all houses look the same, or you aren't get much savings at all.
Container is a horrible choice for housing. First, if you take used containers, they need to be washed/processed to get rid of any and all stuff you don't want in your house. Then insulating that thing would get rid of much space inside. Not to mention that if you want a window... it's a pain to cut properly.
3D machine has potentials but it's not the endgame. There are a lot of limitations due to how the materials are being used. So a lot of limitation when it comes to shape and height (load-bearing).
