FEATURED NEWS

A suite of new technologies from Austin-based startup Icon also includes low-carbon concrete and a robot that can 3D print two-story homes.

 

Large-scale, 3D-printing company Icon Technology Inc. never misses an opportunity to make a big splash during South by Southwest.

After revealing the first-ever, 3D-printed home at the festival six years ago, the Austin-based startup was back with a big reveal on March 12 at the Long Center downtown. There, Icon showed off its new multistory robotic construction system that can build structures faster and cheaper than prior iterations, along with a new, lower-carbon extrudable concrete formula and an AI-powered platform that lets people design their own homes.
