according to a reuters report on the 25th, the world's first desert 3d printing hotel in texas, usa, is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 2026. a huge 3d printer is working non-stop to build the hotel's walls layer by layer according to a preset path.

it is reported that it uses a special cement-based composite material that can withstand a variety of adverse weather conditions.expected to be completed in 2026, hotel room prices range from us$200 to us$450 per night (currently approximately rmb 1,406 to rmb 3,163).

the walls were produced using icon's vulcan printer, a 14.2 meter long, 4.7 meter wide 3d printer weighing 4.75 tonnes.

the “ink” of this 3d printer is a type of lavacrete’s special cement-based materials, a proprietary blend designed to be printable. icon ceo and founder jason ballard said workers adjust and mix ingredients based on weather conditions.

in addition, 3d printing is faster and cheaper than traditional construction methods, minimizing the waste of construction materials. it is worth mentioning that this hotel building is also designed with many arches, curves and domes, giving people the feeling of being in a cave.
