Fort Bliss' New Barracks Will Be the Largest 3D-Printed Building in the Western Hemisphere
While there may not be a cool name for the project, the goal is pretty cool: three 5,700 square-foot buildings to be used as barracks on Fort Bliss, Texas, completed in just 10 months. It will be the largest 3D-printed building in the Americas.
The Department of Defense is partnering with ICON, an Austin, Texas-based construction firm that uses a proprietary, high-strength concrete called Lavacrete on the project. The company says Lavacrete can withstand extreme weather conditions, is much more energy efficient than concrete and can be printed at high speeds.
Most importantly, the 3D-printed materials are expected to last longer than traditional construction materials.
