"3D-printing company plans lunar construction after successful Earth test"

3D printing architecture company ICON has launched Initiative 99, a design competition seeking submissions for homes that can be 3D-printed for $99,000 or less. The competition will run for a year, with multiple winners, and their designs will be built by ICON. The company's ultimate goal is to create affordable housing at scale, with an emphasis on disadvantaged people. ICON has also won a $57 million contract from NASA to test its 3D-printing technology on the moon, using lunar regolith as a building material.
