ICON has made headlines in recent years for its novel robotic construction technology and its contract with NASA. At the same time, the cost and complexity of building have surged, driven by labor constraints, material volatility, and schedule risk. That’s why ICON is focused on advancing 3D-printing construction methods that can make building more efficient and more cost-effective. Here’s a look at why the company is betting on robotic printing technology as one solution to reducing construction costs and improving quality and speed, how it works, some of the successes, and the challenges we still face.
