AUSTIN (KXAN) – After partnering to build North America’s largest 3D-printed military barracks outside of Bastrop, Austin-based construction company ICON is part of the first line of homes in the country to be made using the same process.
Kansas City-based developer 3Strands has partnered with ICON to build four homes in East Austin using 3D printing technology, specifically ICON’s proprietary Vulcan building system. The houses were designed by Logan Architecture and two of them have already been sold and two more that have just been launched.

Austin real estate company Den Property Group has listings for both homes on East 17th Street. One of the houses is 1,928 square feet with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and costs $ 795,000. The other measures 1,521 square feet with four bedrooms and three bathrooms and costs $ 745,000.
Gary O’Dell, CEO of 3Strands, said the company brought “the best design names Austin has to offer” on board to get the job done. O’Dell said Claire Zinnecker, an Austin-based designer, did the interior design.
“We really wanted to bring 3D printing technology out of the lab and into the field,” said O’Dell.
