ICON revolutionises construction through 3D printing, robotics, and advanced materials. This approach creates a paradigm shift in the construction industry, improving construction speed, cost-efficiency, and overall project delivery.
Problem
- Global housing crisis: Over 1 billion people worldwide lack access to adequate housing, highlighting a severe shortage.
- Construction productivity issues: The construction industry has seen minimal productivity growth–just 1% over the last 20 years
- Outdated methods: Home construction processes remain largely unchanged for centuries, relying on traditional “sticks and bricks” approaches.
Solution
- Faster construction: ICON’s 3D printing technology reduces the time taken to build a house from 8 months to 4 months.
- Advanced technology: Using Vulcan 3D printers, ICON combines building information modelling and materials science to transform how homes are built, reducing costs and time.
- Precision under any conditions: ICON has built the Magma concrete feeding system which adjusts for environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, ensuring high-quality and precise construction regardless of conditions.
