The American company “Aikon” has achieved a historic milestone by constructing 100 residential homes entirely using 3D printing at the Wolf Ranch residential community in Georgetown, Texas. This technology represents a quantum leap in the field of construction, as it allows for the construction of durable, modern homes in record time and at a lower cost.

This technology relies on a massive robotic printer called “Volcan” that prints walls in successive layers of a special concrete material. These homes are characterized by high energy efficiency and reduced material waste.

Aikon launched this ambitious project in November 2022, and it has garnered widespread interest from experts and investors in the real estate sector. The company aims to expand the use of this technology worldwide and is collaborating with NASA to develop construction systems capable of building structures and shelters on the moon.

This technology holds promise for addressing many of the challenges facing the construction sector, such as labor shortages and rising construction costs, while also contributing to environmental sustainability goals.
