From Nation’s First 3D-Printed Homes for Sale Hit Austin Market by D. Okoro
AUSTIN, Texas — A Kansas City developer has announced America’s first 3D-printed homes for sale.
3Strands is partnering with Austin-based construction technology company ICON to leverage ICON’s proprietary 3D printing construction technology, software, and advanced materials to deliver the two- to four-bedroom homes in Austin.
“We want to change the way we build, own, and how we live in community together,” says Gary O’Dell, 3Strands’ co-founder and CEO. “This project represents a big step forward, pushing the boundaries of new technologies, such as 3D-printed homes.”
It takes 5-7 days to print each home.
Thomas Edison's earlier, unsuccessful, venture with production line home building is described in Wikipedia.
