Nasa has awarded the company $57 million to develop 3d printers for the moon. the next giant leaps for humankind will probably be taken from some kind of moon base which will most likely be not built from materials which we send up from earth. after all, the moon is not made of cheese, you know. the technology that will be required to rebuild the moon base with 3d printing is actually going to be a completely different form factor. it has to be, because the challenges of building there. so, you are probably looking at something that is a robotic arm that gathers local materials and then effect...

This includes things like the kitchen island and the holes for plumbing and electrics. and here's another strange thing. although some of the walls will be covered with tiles and the like, most of them will retain this rather unusual beaded texture. we are really proud of our beads. we are going to let them stand out and speak loudly, but we want to accentuate them with some accents. just to be clear, you are not going to render this or cover this pattern? this will be part of what the residents see? correct. the show home we started in is called house zero, and that was designed by a differen...

It's around 2100 square feet and it's packed full of curves and contortions. this place has such an unusual, futuristic feel about it. i mean, there's not a straight wall in the place. you may find yourself wondering how do you make such curvy walls? well, if you look at them a bit closer, you might be able work out the answer. this is so printing at scale. it's a largely automated method of manufacturing houses and it's thanks to a fleet of giant 3d printers. they squirt out a layer of material and then they squirt out another, and another, and another. icon has partnered up with one of the b...

Now, the walls aren'tjust thin lines of concrete. there are multiple layers forming concrete columns to add rigidity. reinforced by steel, they are printed using a proprietary material, a cement—like substance that is air—tight while also providing increased insulation. i love the theme that they have going on with their naming system here. so it's not concrete it's the name of the system that mixes it magma, and the name of the machine that prints it is .doc ill or the machine is welcome. because we are liquefying ruck. but how easy is it to both be creative and cost efficient? the reason...

For plumbing and electrics. here is another strange thing. although some of the walls will be covered with tiles and the like, most of them will retain this rather unusual beaded texture. we are really proud of our beads. we are going to let them stand out and speak loudly. we want to accept doing them with some accent. just to be clear, you're not going to render this or cover this. this is going to be part of the what the residency? the show home we started in is called house zero, and that was designed by a different architecture firm. it's more of a show home for what could be possible in ...
