3D Printed Domes and Arches - Revolutionary Printed House Tour with ICON’s Robotic Arm
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2024
- Discover the groundbreaking technology behind ICON's latest 3D printed house in Austin, Texas. Witness how a massive robotic arm, Phoenix, transforms construction with unprecedented precision and efficiency.
Unlike traditional gantry printers, Phoenix stands in one spot, striking like a cobra to print a vast structure measuring 110 feet wide and 127 feet tall in about 400 hours. The printer's operator supervises the process remotely from a trailer, emphasizing the efficiency and automation of the system.

Would really like to see this against a tornado and hurricanes. These could be game changers in the midwest and along the coast.

@@hopjo6356 Link the story. Not one story came up in a google search.. Where did this happen?
@@hopjo6356He says they place rebar.
I think theyre rated to 200 to 250 mph. They survived a 7.4 earthquake in mexico. And yes, there is reinforcement.
@@hopjo6356 Ты прав. И я уж не знаю, чем они там усиливаются. Вообще, очень сомнительная технология. Фактически бессмысленная, если ты хочешь иметь нормальный дом с нормальной крышей. Кроме того, надо понимать, что строит он лишь стены, а у тебя ведь и другие элементы денег стоят. Фундамент, кровля, отделка всякая, утепление надо продумать нормально, шумоизоляцию и всё прочее.
А ещё смешно слышать про пониженное количество цемента в смеси, конечно.
Imagine how upset the aliens are going to be when they go to check on their property and there’s one of these houses on their property that’s only zoned for camping.
Haha
😂
If it happens at all, it's only cause they let us do it. 😓
There goes the neighborhood 👎🏼👽
It’s continuous trespass in north carolina
Blower door test?
How is it even a build show video without it?
@Matt Risinger You need to build a wall and then show it being sledged hammered. It would be helpful to see how durable to strikes like that. Unless it's been done.
It would be awesome if these 3d printed house companies would let matt do a durability test vs cinder blocks, icfs, etc.
Or gunfire
Do you ask that of a regular builder? Gimmick approach to showing durability.
@@robertvandeveer1846 agreed, however, most of Matt’s jobs are custom builds for reasonably affluent clients, and his channel also focuses on industry trends.
Personally, I don’t see these 3D printed homes having widespread appeal, but that doesn’t mean the tech won’t apply to certain situations.
Full house, walls, and roof for $80/sf is good and in custom shapes and sizes.
Yeah, there is no way.
@@royromano9792There is a way. The larger the house the better the square footage because of economies of scale. Their technology scales up a lot better on larger houses compared to traditional construction because the majority of their overhead is setting up the 3D printing machine. If you notice the latest version was designed to just drive in and start printing.
Those grooves are going to collect a lot of dirt and be hard to clean. Mending cracks are going to be hard, and "break" the continuity of the lines. Perhaps plaster over them for a smooth surface.
If you’d only watched the first 4 minutes you’d hear them talk about stuccoing the structure.
@@CarlosBenjaminwho has time for that?🤔
Benchy?
I imagine bridging could be implemented by adding fiberglass tow (ribbon) ahead of the extrusion with a bit of lead in and lead out to anchor the ends. Something like what electroimpact does with their fiber placement machines.
The final print head effector reminds me of some sheet metal punch and laser machines that have a fast fine adjustment tool head to make up for the slow and inaccurate movements of the main gantry.
Interesting. Reminds me of the architecture of Nader Khalili.
Great Demo
Would be great to see this continue to get better!
I love the notion of 3D printed buildings in general. That said. I expect it would be possible to attach an automated "trowel"(or maybe plural), to the nozzle assembly, and have it smooth as the print proceeds. The patterns work with some structures/parts of structures, but it'd be great to have the option of a "baked in" smooth finish, where desired. And there would be a small material saving too.
Marvelous, can you please encourage construction companies to start build houses using the new technology. Thank you.
Surprise not to hear the word regolith during the moon discussion
We're seeing the future I believe. Thanks, Matt, for bringing us such great videos about this!
Cool stuff Matt! 😃👍🏼👊🏼
I really need to look into the process of booking the machine, though id rather buy it, like any other equipment.
This is definitely the future.
Bleak future. Repairs, changes, renovations will be impossible. I give it 20 years and they will be knocked down.
So hype for this. We need this everywhere!
Bro I’m so impressed now, you are definitely using the technology’s capabilities when are home shape is no longer a basic square box. So cool and 1000 percent more sustainable. I would never prefer a wooden house over a stone one. I would love to see some beautiful large inlaid stones that says money inside and outside. There structure looks like money. I am a designer, can I work with those bad ass doods and Alex? Houses could become works of art more than ever by optimizing cost and refining the details through design and programming. Thank you Alex for making us look like we are actually evolving and providing a real modern solution to sustainability.
Fascinating
I live right by there! I saw it peak up above the fence one day, pretty cool
I think the real strength of 3D printing houses is in areas where wood structures are impractical, which makes their choice of Austin, Texas bizarre.
It's great in areas with perpetual flood risk due to broad floodplains and occasional tropical storms. Austin and much of the eastern half of Texas qualifies.
I wonder how they deal with rain when printing because a lot can happen in 400 hours.
On another note, there’s a company in FL called ONX that makes homes out of precast walls and precast bathrooms. It’s done in a factory and then transported and assembled on site pretty quickly.
Would be nice if Matt would do a video a lot that.
Dumb question.
Has anyone done destructive testing on this material yet?
YES, it's supposed to tell our BRAINS how durable it is.
But things like blowing up an ICF room, or trying to burn a block of RockWool?
Those also inform YOUR GUTS as well about how tough it is....
Not asking anyone to blow a whole freaking house up.
Byu trying to set a human on breaking through a "Lavacrete" wall with a fire axe??
yes, you have to do these tests in order to call it a house and sell it. No, its not a dumb question. The problem is that with the various cement sources, water mixes, and varieties of concrete, it varies, but in general these walls are concrete, and you know concrete stronger than wood
Very cool tech. Would love you to do a deeper dive as to mechanicals’ integration as well as roof structures and wind lift
We need this in Hawaii!!!
I really love this style, technique, all of it. I do think I'd have it colored though rather than basic concrete grey so it didn't even need to be painted on the inside (outside I'd want it waterproofed).
The future is now!
Love to see it and consider the possibilities. Would like to see how the utilities (water, air, electric, etc) are handled. Particularly with an eye to updates in the buildings lifetime (new wire, new outlet locations, changing room locations, ...).
Awesome
Supposedly incredible sound insulation too. Very hyped for 3D printing construction. Society would benefit so, so much from reducing the cost of housing. By far the biggest cost keeping people poor. If we figure out the tech, all we need is a revamp of the land distribution system
Opinions May differ
Pretty sure the government and their insane regulation and taxes are keeping people poor.
no more punching walls during an argument with the wife. lol😅
WOW!
There needs to be more homes built for the sun's position in the sky. Large south facing windows in the northern hemisphere help heat the home in the winter, not many modern home designs take that into consideration.
I had to spend a lot of elementary school sitting in the corner. This construction would have been helpful
@@billw5189 well how nice for you. It wouldn't have helped me they gave me the dunce cap
@@deadmanswife3625I suppose if they used this to make the cap, the deterrence factor would have been higher.
@@tracy419 🤣❤
Given all the advantages, $80 a square foot is *insane.* Expect these walls to becoming the standard in custom home builds. At least for the first floor.
*How does wiring and plumbing work?*
A concrete saw
Look at their last vid, they go over it in detail.
Who cleans that mess
And good luck fixing a plumbing issue in the future
So obviously it’s in the POC stage - putting it through the routine that those gantry units no doubt went through? The whole “star wars set” vibe thing isn’t much to my personal tastes/liking, but no doubt they’ll settle-down to more “normal” designs/styles… I still see this building method to be a “boutique” approach used wherein time/site access, costs and other limiting factors are in place, requiring an off-beat approach to quickly getting a structure in place… I’m assuming this won’t be a “real thing” during what’s left of my time here on earth (maybe 20yrs +/-)
What about earthquake resistance?
And moonquake!
they use a heavier foundation and they use rebar to make sure its stronger, but in a 10.0 earthquake everything is on the ground
You could be chilling like a villain with that thing.
$80 is what a friend of mine is paying for a shell with a roof on his addition (siding and windows extra). But he spent a lot on steel beams to support the weight, would be cheaper otherwise
If youre like me and tuned in right at that moment, at one point Matt says 50,000 psf but he means psi.
Nope he converted to psf from psi
I like the fingerprint variations. It helps create character and no two homes or walls will be precisely the same. I would like to see some film of weather damage research, tornado type winds, hurricane type winds, high speed airborne debris impacts and flooding (perhaps two feet of water inside the home for 10 days).
Will it help with making a home affordable, though 🤔
I've been waiting to see aerodynamic builds on the coast. Just wondering how they would fare in high winds or tornadoes
the walls strength still varies a lot by chemical composition of walls. But in general, concrete is heavier than timber walls. so you know how they do.
The shape and style follows the function of the pouring technique. Kind of like how the Cybertruck's faceted shape follows the material it is made of. The resulting shapes are likewise striking and controversial, however. I am still skeptical about living in such odd spaces with deeply textured interior walls.
It reduces labor, but increases complexity and material availability. This is a huge barrier to entry for most established firms and eliminates DIY.
What I see this tech most useful for are niches like quickly building very resilient structures. Both irrelevant for most traditional buyers.
Military and disaster relief, however, would make great applications. Imagine a much simpler system that only prints dome shaped "huts". Extremely storm resistant, energy efficient due to the shape and low collapsebility. An army base could be built bullet resistant within days.
Exciting, these guys are paving the way to the future!
No they aren't.
Companies like this have been around for decades and never deliver.
@@sparksmcgee6641 R&D takes time, that falls entirely within expectations
0:28 what uh, what was the inspiration for the design of that?
Insulation should be printed too
Cool. What happens if it rains when printing? What about earthquake resistance?
Show us the material interfaces and penetrations. Ie how is rising damp protected against, how is the roof affixed, how are windows fitted? Too much of the monolithic layers being paid attention to.
3:!9 are there no footers or foundation? Printed right on the compacted (?) dirt?
Interesting
Where are they going to get the water for printing on the moon?
Cheers
I’m more interested in how plumbing, electrical and aircons are installed in these houses.
I haven’t watched to the end so maybe it’s covered, but living in earthquake country, I am always concerned about how they are reinforcing the walls. Concrete construction around here has a ton of steel rebar in it. I see a few wires spread out in these, but not very much.
Can this concrete printer be used to print under ground structures such as storm shelters or bomb shelters?
Are these structures hurricane and tornado stable?
Thermal performance? Concrete tends to act like an oven heating up the inside of the building unlike traditional earthen buildings.
Great video Matt, and great product ICON.
What about rebar? Windows? Roof?
What about rebar? Is it even needed?
Id like to see a video on how recessed windows are constructed. Ive spent hours researching and cant seem to find any
see 3.29 to 3.30 - you can see the recesses there - I was also curious how the windows were integrated into 3d printed walls and achieving the thermal discontinuity required by regs / building codes.
Is there a reason you didn't use a concrete pumper truck as the base to start from? It's designed to pump concrete. Yes, it has a hose but you could remove the hose and put your head on it. You could also put an accelerometer on it to with a learning algorithm to keep the wabble down and put two cameras on towers watching the head that can have computer vision tracking balls on it.
If they can really do 80$ per square foot they might do well… but will they really?
They probably can't, unless..... Printed houses are presently selling from a minimum of $225 (Detroit, is the lowest per square foot I have seen) to well over $400 a square foot for others that were very simple builds.... Icons own houses sold with prices ranging from $475,000 to $570,000, or 270 to 300+ a square foot, and were very simple builds.... So do the math on what you would get for $80 bucks a square foot..... Nothing, unless they sell it to you at an extreme loss..... 80 bucks, is smoke and mirrors, and not going to happen........
So how exactly are electritians and plumbers supposed to run their stuff through the walls? Where is the insulation?
How would this be repaired if it became damaged
Are those hard hats 3D printed?
I've been hearing about this technology for over 5 years now, when will it be deployed for the average consumer?
I wouldn't hold your breath
The inside of a concrete shell will have a terrible echo. You can add materials to damp down the echo, but that will increase the cost of the house.
Hurricane resistance?
What's about insulation?
the walls are two different paths of concrete, so after it has dried, they spray insulation down in the middle
That's intense, 17 hours to build. Sign us up!
17 days
Printing on the moon?
How are you going to overcome the effect of a near vacuum on water and prevent it from expanding and boiling out of the concrete?
Would love to know the R-value of the walls. I guess it's near zero.
Waterproof versus water impervious.....
they could print a cool Yakhchāl
Imagine someone uploading 3D image of hogwarts university for wizards with this thing an base it off the movie or game a future amusement park or theme park would be just amazing to explore an interact...if not VR it
I wish the 3D printer pooped out standard cinder blocks.
The lots they are developing are tiny for half a million dollars.
Now do that with hempcrete.
Hempcrete can't flow through the nozzle too chunky
light printers are a step in the right direction but it's still way to slow and makes no sense because it's only the walls...
Alex looks like he can be your brother
That is where luke Skywalker was born
No longer is this just another wall system when you can print the roof along with it.
The UK built a lot of concrete houses post war. Now banks will often require significant renovations or just not provide mortgages for these homes. While there's obviously been a lot of progress in building since the 50s; with the well known decay of a lot of the US's concrete infrastructure from the same time, I would be concerned whether a house would last 100 years, like you can reasonably expect a wood-frame building to.
Why exactly are masonry built houses going to have that decay? THey all have some sort of exterior whether it be paint or shiplap etc. Perhaps the UK build a lot of houses with crappy concrete mixtures. I would expect a masonry built house to last longer than a timber built structure easily. We got 2000 year old roman structures made of concrete that still exist. Where are all the roman timber built houses that still exist?
loving it , home building especially in the states has been stagnating for decades , this is exactly the kind of thing the world needs ; i do luv the japanese style all wood homes , but such things are not sustainable globally
very neat new tech , but man the team really needs to hire some better architects cuz their floorplans are jacked the fuck up , the builds are not even competitive as far as prices goes , and the more expensive 1mil+ floorplans are all huge wasters of space , obvs this could be addressed with a custom design , but just looking at what's shown in their catalogue is whack af
This is for luxury builds, high end architectural novelty and aspirational delusions like building on the moon, not solving a crisis of affordable housing.
i want concrete house ! for $80. sq ft !
You get a shell on land you supply.
I will gladly build you a cinderblock shell for $80/sf lol
I’d like to see someone build a bunker using this be safe everyone
Here in Germany, this tec cant kill jobs, because we already have way to less people willing to work on the construction site.
As a roofer its hard to find "job ethusiastic" emplyoyees.
Not shure if this way to build will ever find a way through our german extreme complicated restrictions, but if, its an option for shure.
I see No electric plumbing doors or windows???
You can see the frames for the doors in the last bit. They also go over the pluming and electric in the previous vid.
New green innovation: Instead of polluting, water hungry toilets, you simply dig a hole outside and relieve yourself there. Then you hope there are no disastrous consequences. Environmentalism
@@OffOfTheCuff Its better to just poop where you are instead of going outside. It saves you the energy of walking outside to poop. Just poop on the floor beside you. Environmentalism
@@davidanalyst671 And that is what many of the wonderful third world cultures do so it must be superior
Other homes they’ve made they show in detail but I think this one was just structure concept on the new printer
400hrs to build a home, so that is 10 weeks?
Your math seems to be wrong. 400 / 24 gets you to approximately 16,68 days, which is 2,5 weeks.
Alternative housing is like electric cars. It's never going to take off until they stop trying to build them so damn goofy looking.
weird how we are calling it printing still
Been watching this Technology Develop for a long time!
They need to switch to a Mud Mix ASAP! 🧐
Using Concrete is just far too wastefull! 🥵
Sorry ICON but they look strange and it seems to me that there is a lot of work that still needs to be done by humans. I must assume you have figured out how to build/print in a cold climate. The material will freeze in the piping/ tubing , whatever. sorry..no. But Matt .. thank you for the video , good to see other construction methods.
Good for temporary shelter not good for long term living and too fragile for weather condition
What about remodelabiliyy?
jack hammer and cement bags
Where does the material come from? And how many ingredients are in the material
Pumicecrete is pumice cement and water
Good luck trying to make that building airtight on the Moon
I'm sure ICON has hired plenty of pessimists like yourself to try and poke holes, but I'm pretty sure the smart people at NASA are working with ICON to resolve any issues. The last thing they want would be a disaster on the moon.
