One of the nation's largest homebuilders, Lennar, is partnering with ICON, a 3D printing company to develop the project.
"We exceed code requirements for all the different kinds of strength, wind, compressive strength by about 4x. We're about two and a half times more energy efficient," said Jason Ballard, co-founder and CEO of ICON.
"The promise of robotic construction is a promise of automation, reducing labor – therefore reducing labor costs," Ballard said. Other companies, like California-based Mighty Buildings, are also using 3D printing technology, but they print the homes in a factory and then move them on-site. ICON brings the factory to the site.
Lennar's Miller said his primary focus is on bringing more affordable homes to the market, and he sees this as one way to do that. But he knows it's also still the early stages.
