AUSTIN (KXAN) — ICON, a 3D printing construction company, said three homes in the Mueller community were now up for sale. The homes were constructed using 3D printing technology.
According to ICON, the one-bedroom homes were built as part of the Mueller Affordable Homes Program for income-qualified individuals. Households earning up to 80% of the Austin area’s median family income may qualify to purchase a home.
“These resilient, energy-efficient 650 sq.-ft.-homes will be built alongside nearly a dozen two and three-bedroom 3D-printed homes,” ICON said. “The project has broken ground with printing beginning this week.”
