What if you could download and print a home in 24 hours for half the cost?
That’s what a 3-D printing startup in Austin is showing off at SXSW.
ICON is a construction technologies company “dedicated to revolutionizing homebuilding.” They say they’ve already built the first permitted 3-D printed home in America.
The Verge reports the current cost to print each home is $10,000 but they plan to bring the cost down to $4,000.
But the company’s goals aren’t just to provide cheap housing for minimalists in America. Instead, they hope to solve the global housing crisis with their technology.
