Wolf Ranch, an ambitious project of 100 3D-printed homes in Austin, Texas, will be a major step forward for 3D printing technology in the US. The first model home of the project has just been revealed, preparing for the first group of residents to arrive in September, New Atlas reported on July 21.

Described as the world’s largest 3D-printed housing project, Wolf Ranch is being built by Lennar and Icon in partnership with renowned architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). The project is part of a larger development by Hillwood Communities Development that also includes traditionally built homes.

The 100 3D-printed homes range in size from 1,500 to 2,000 square feet, and are all one-story. There are eight different floor plans, offering options for homes with three or four bedrooms and two or three bathrooms. Their overall design is inspired by traditional Texas ranches.

The completed home, which the project team has just unveiled, gives potential buyers a glimpse of what life in a 3D-printed home might be like. At first glance, the structure looks like any other modern home, but upon closer inspection, the walls have distinctive ridges that suggest it was built with a 3D printer. The home appears to be filled with light and is spacious inside, with large windows and a large living area with an attached kitchen.

Wolf Ranch homes will reduce their energy consumption from the grid thanks to solar power systems. They will also feature a number of smart home technologies such as camera-integrated doorbells, Wi-Fi-enabled locks and smart thermostats.

Workers are using Icon’s Vulcan 3D printer to build Wolf Ranch. The 3D printer uses a nozzle to spray Lavacret, a proprietary cement-like mixture, layer by layer, creating the home’s basic structure. Workers then complete the home with a roof, doors, windows, and other components.

Currently, 6 houses in the Wolf Ranch area are completed and ready for customers to buy. Prices range from 475,990 - 559,990 USD.
