ICON develops intelligent machines to build humanity's future. ICON develops advanced construction technologies that advance humanity by using 3D printing robotics, software and advanced materials.

The Vulcan is our third generation, large-scale 3D-printer system for additive construction. The current Vulcan system is 1.5x larger, 2x faster than our previous generation and capable of printing homes and structures up to 3,000 square feet without relocation.

The Magma system feeds Vulcan printers with ICON’s advanced cement-based material, CarbonX. Using any of ICON’s proprietary CarbonX blends, the Magma system mixes the material, additives, and water automatically, depending on current site weather conditions, then supplies the ready-to-print CarbonX to the Vulcan.

ICON is known for being the first company in America to get a permit for constructing a 3D printed home. The company wanted to construct a proof-of-concept home for investors, and their first home was built in Austin, Texas. Now, ICON Homes is an industry leader in 3D concrete homes and has developed: Robotics; Software; Materials

May 25, 2021 · ICON claims that it is 1.5 times larger and two-times faster than its predecessor, able to fabricate structures over 3,000 square feet in size. Operated via mobile app, the system weighs a...

But these towering concrete walls in South Austin were created entirely by a 3D printing robot—the first of its kind, and the latest mechanical marvel from Ballard’s construction technology company, ICON. Dubbed the House of Phoenix, this stunning building portends a futuristic vision of housing, architecture, and automation.

Mar 12, 2024 · Texas-based ICON has unveiled Phoenix, a robotic-arm-mounted 3D printer that can create fully-enclosed, multi-storey structures from a low-carbon mixture, at SXSW. ICON revealed the...

The Vulcan II is ICON's first commercially available construction printer. Designed specifically to produce resilient single-story buildings faster, more affordably, and with more design freedom. It has expanded the footprint of our printing capability to approximately 2,000 square feet.

Mar 14, 2019 · 3D concrete printer manufacturer ICON has just unveiled an improved version of its previous machine, the Vulcan II. The Vulcan II will be ICON’s first commercially available construction printer, designed to build houses even faster, at a very attractive price.

Building on the success of this proof-of-concept, ICON set out to develop its next generation printer, the Vulcan II, which would be ICON’s first commercially available large-scale printer designed specifically to 3D print resilient single-story buildings faster, more affordably, and with more design freedom.
