3D-printed Barracks for Women & Men Serving the U.S. | ICON & TMD

The Texas Military Department (TMD) has partnered with Austin-based construction technologies company, ICON, to design and 3D-print an innovative training barracks at the Camp Swift Training Center in Bastrop, TX. As the largest 3D printed structure in North America, the 3,800 . building is set to house up to 72 soldiers or airmen at their primary facility while they train for missions in Texas or overseas marking these the first soldiers in the world to live in 3D-printed barracks. “Guardsmen from all over Texas come to Camp Swift to train and to mobilize for deployments,” said Col. Zebadiah Miller, Director of Facilities, Texas Military Department “The printed barracks will not only provide our Soldiers a safe and comfortable place to stay while they train, but because they are printed in concrete, we anticipate them to last for decades.” This marks the first project underway for ICON with the Texas Military Department and is a result from a SBIR Strategic Fund Increase (STRATFI) contract through
