El Cosmico will gain 43 new rooms and 18 houses, which will be printed using Icon’s gantry-style Vulcan printer. Vulcan is 46.5 feet (14.2 meters) wide by 15.5 feet (4.7 meters) tall, and it weighs 4.75 tons. It builds homes by pouring a proprietary concrete mixture called Lavacrete into a pattern dictated by software, squeezing out one layer at a time as it moves around on an axis set on a track. Its software, BuildOS, can be operated from a tablet or smartphone.
