<p>In 2018, we told people we were going to 3D print a house and unveil it during SXSW in Austin, TX before we knew how to do it.&nbsp;Innovation is synonymous with risk and somebody had to take a risk. In partnership with housing non-profit New Story, we successfully delivered the world's first permitted, 3D-printed home in the world.<br /><br />Fast forward to today,&nbsp;ICON has 3D-printed more than 140 homes and&nbsp;structures across the U.S. and Mexico. We recently unveiled a new suite of technologies and products&nbsp;to further automate construction including&nbsp;a radical new robotic printer that enables multi-story construction, a new low-carbon building material, a digital catalog for residential architecture, and an AI Architect for home design and construction. Together, these technologies make our construction technology platform a faster, more sustainable way to build high-quality housing affordably around the world.</p>
