1st 3D Printed Homes for the Homeless

What’s happening? ICON partnered with nonprofit Mobile Loaves and Fishes to create the anti-homelessness “village” in Austin, TX. Internationally, ICON partners with New Story, a U.S.-based nonprofit.

Why is this important? This isn’t a one trick pony on one side of the political isle, ICON is also printing military barracks. Keep your eyes on them. Big things ahead.

How will this be important? “Having this capability where you’re not just building temporary facilities but can leave behind infrastructure that can get a foothold and begin the recovery – that has the possibility to become transformative,” –Lieutenant Colonel Alex Goldberg, a lead with the Defense Innovation Unit.
