World's Largest 3D-Printed Neighborhood Nears Completion in Texas

A groundbreaking project in Georgetown, Texas, is nearing completion: the world's largest 3D-printed neighborhood, Wolf Ranch. Construction-tech startup ICON is using its massive Vulcan printer to build 100 homes, a process significantly faster and more efficient than traditional methods. Each single-story home takes roughly three weeks to print, resulting in cost savings and reduced labor needs. While the homes offer strong insulation and weather resistance, some homeowners have reported challenges with wireless internet signal penetration due to the thick walls. The homes, priced between $450,000 and $600,000, are part of ICON's ambitious vision, which even includes plans to utilize this technology for lunar construction projects.
