ICON’s 15.5-foot-tall 3D printers can build the exterior and interior wall system for a single-story house in a week. The method cuts 30% off traditional construction costs and has been proven to produce homes for as little as $10,000. Compare that to a recent effort in Los Angeles to build 117 pre-fab tiny homes for the unhoused for $5.1 million. Compared to the LA efforts’ approximate cost of $43,590 per home, ICON could print homes at a 4x cheaper rate. - we wrote this for a story back in October.
