 ICON specializes in constructing high-performance homes using 3D-printed technology. Its homes feature designs that prioritize sustainability and resilience, taking advantage of the possibilities offered by additive construction. Using its Vulcan robotic construction systems, advanced materials, and software, ICON claims to be able to deliver homes quickly and efficiently while reducing waste and resulting in energy-efficient homes.&nbsp;
 
 
 &nbsp;The Vulcan construction system combines hardware, materials, and software to construct homes and large-scale structures. It comprises the Vulcan printer and Magma portable mixing unit, responsible for preparing ICON's proprietary building material, Lavacrete, for printing. The entire process is managed by the BuildOS software suite, which generates and prepares architectural designs and controls the on-site robotic hardware. Notably, the system is designed to be weather and environmentally conscious. The Magma unit adjusts and mixes ICON's Lavacrete material in real-time, ensuring optimal material performance during 3D printing for resilient and sustainable structures. 
 &nbsp;
 
 
 ICON's Lavacrete, a type of high-strength concrete, demonstrates a compressive strength, ranging from 2,000 to 3,500 lbs per square inch (psi). Notably, in rigorous structural tests, ICON's wall system surpassed the minimum requirements set by building codes by over 350%.&nbsp;
