The Future3D Printing
Stagnancy in home building has not kept up with demand and population growth. This has contributed to a growing housing crisis. Traditional home building methods are inefficient and wasteful. These critical problems have driven costs up past the point of affordability for the average person. High costs also mean providing adequate shelter in developing countries can be nearly impossible.
Three critical problems:
We are passionate about advancing the state of home construction because the issues we are working on are significant. Our technology enables more shelter for more people in a time when we need it most.
1. Affordability.
The average person can not afford a home.
2. Sustainability
Homebuilding is inefficient and wasteful.
3. Availability
Over 1 billion people do not have adequate shelter.
We built the first permitted 3D printed home in America.
WE’RE JUST GETTING WARMED UP.
In 2018, ICON was the first company in America to secure a building permit for and build a 3D printed home. The house in Austin, TX was a proof of concept that brought our team, investors, and customers together to drive towards the future.
We’ve used that support to develop robotics, software, and materials as our core technology for our partners and home buyers. The strength of these products has been proven further through a number of projects since that first house, with more to come soon.
Our team is changing the world.
The audacious mission of ICON is to revolutionize homebuilding, and our team’s expertise and determination have already made this dream a reality. Our team has a passion for design, engineering, and elegant software. We have decades of experience in sustainable technology and construction innovation.
