#1: ICON and 3D Printing on the Moon
Founded in 2017, ICON specializes in 3D printing of buildings. Since its first printed house in March 2018 in Texas, the American company has come a long way. Today there are no fewer than 20 buildings designed by ICON using their gantry-type 3D printer called Vulcan, which is capable of printing up a house of up to 185 square meters with a material called Lavacrete. And many projects are still in the works. Voted 3D startup of the month in January, 2021, this year the company has also turned to even more ambitious projects. For example, they have been collaborating with NASA, among others, to develop a construction system that could be capable of printing off world.
