The world’s largest community of 3D-printed homes is being built in Texas — and the neighborhood just unveiled its first completed house.
On Saturday prospective buyers toured around the finished model home at the project’s grand opening, and some of the units have already sold, ICON spokesperson Cara Caulkins told CNN via email.

Independent research suggests that printing homes can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and construction waste. 3D printers can construct buildings without formwork , which can significantly reduce overall use of the material. Cement is responsible for about 8% of global CO2 emissions annually. Wolf Ranch is ICON’s largest project to date, though the firm has already used 3D printing to build social, or subsidized, housing in Mexico and Texas.
