3D-Printed Homes: A Texas Community Shows the Future of Housing

The world's largest 3D-printed housing community is nearing completion outside Austin, Texas. This innovative project, a partnership between Lennar and Icon, has seen remarkable success; 75% of the 100 homes built using large-scale 3D-printing robots are already sold. Homeowner Holly Feekings attests to the safety and convenience of these homes, stating, "We realized, you know, it was really a safe home for two old folks. Single level, no stairs." Jason Ballard, co-founder and CEO of Icon, explains the technology's efficiency and cost-effectiveness, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize the housing industry. The homes, priced comparably to traditional houses in the area, represent a significant step towards more sustainable and affordable housing solutions. This project demonstrates the potential of 3D-printing to address housing shortages and build climate-resilient homes faster and more affordably.
