In 2018, ICON told people they were going to 3D print a house and unveil it during SXSW in Austin, TX before they knew how to do it. Innovation is synonymous with risk and somebody had to take a risk. In partnership with housing non-profit New Story, ICON succ...essfully delivered the world's first permitted, 3D-printed home in the world. Fast forward to today, ICON has 3D-printed more than 140 homes and structures across the U.S. and Mexico. They recently unveiled a new suite of technologies and products to further automate construction including a radical new robotic printer that enables multi-story construction, a new low-carbon building material, a digital catalog for residential architecture, and an AI Architect for home design and construction. Together, these technologies make construction technology platform a faster, more sustainable way to build high-quality housing affordably around the world.
