Top 1: ICON built four 3D printed homes in East Austin, Texas

3D printing company ICON has built four 3D printed homes using additive manufacturing in East Austin. According to the company, this incredible endeavor is underway thanks to their Vulcan construction system, a 3D printing system for creating sustainable, resilient and beautiful housing. The construction process is much more efficient than conventional construction methods and has saved the builders several months. Already available on the market, the houses are sold at a price of $400,000. 3D printing proves once again that it has an important role to play in the construction sector.
