Before using 3D-printing technology, it took New Story eight months to build 100 homes, each costing about $6,000.<\/p>\n<p>While the prototype was being developed, Icon&#8217;s printer, known as the Vulcan, was running at only 25% speed. That gave the companies confidence that they could build a 600- to 800-square-foot home in just 24 hours for $4,000 or less.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to producing an average-sized home \u2014 around 2,000 square feet \u2014 the savings aren&#8217;t quite as stark. A year after releasing its $10,000 prototype in Austin, Texas, Icon told the Wall Street Journal that printing a 2,000-square-foot home would cost around $20,000.<\/p>\n<p>More remarkable is the fact that the company&#8217;s upgraded printer, the Vulcan II, is now available for purchase, and could soon be used to produce affordable homes in places like Austin and Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>Icon&#8217;s first 3D model offers a glimpse of what the machine could produce in the future. Take a look.<\/p>\n<p>The Vulcan II can produce a home seamlessly onsite, without having to piece together individual units. The Vulcan II can produce a home seamlessly onsite, without having to piece together individual units. The printer churns out layers of cement, which amass to form the walls of the home. Non-printed fixtures like doors and windows are installed later.<\/p>\n<p>The Vulcan II is capable of producing walls that are up to eight-and-a-half feet tall and up to 28 feet wide.<\/p>\n<p>The printer is designed to be mobile and weighs about 3,800 pounds. The Vulcan II is operated by a tablet, which means only a few workers are required to produce a 3D home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A French family just became the first to permanently live in a 3D-printed home At 350 square feet, the house was far cheaper than the average tiny home, which has a price tag hovering at around $25,000, but can often reach six figures.
