After reading this article, you will start to believe it is possible. For just about ,000, you can download a home, print it and have it up and ready for occupation in less than a day. Is not that amazing?<br \/>\nWhile the company\u2019s printable dwellings are still in the concept phase, they offer a gargantuan opportunity to people who live on the streets or in shelters. Being able to have an affordable place of their own could be a game-changer.<br \/>\nThe homes will first debut in El Salvador. And if they work well there, their use could expand to other parts of the world. And the hope is that billions of people could have a safer and better place to sleep at night.<br \/>\nThe homes currently cost about ,000 and require about 24 hours of building time. But when things get up and running, they could cost as little as ,000.<br \/>\nThe startup company is based in the innovative Austin, Texas. And the home was unveiled at the popular SXSW festival. The house had 650 square feet and a workable inside.<br \/>\nAbout 1.2 billion people on the planet do not have adequate housing.<br \/>\nA spokesman from the World Resources Institute\u2019s Ross Center for Sustainable Cities said, \u201cHistory has been punctuated with advances in technology and materials that provide an order-of-magnitude decrease in cost and time required to build a new home. And while recent decades have brought major advances in personal technology, construction practices remain relatively unchanged since the 1950s. Icon aims to change this, ushering in a new era in construction to meet the needs of the future.\u201d<br \/>\nThe project is still being figured out. And Icon, the startup, has teamed up with New Story, a nonprofit organization that invests in international housing. Together they plan to introduce this new home to people in need in El Salvador. Over the next 18 months, they hope to build 100 of these affordable homes.<br \/>\nNew Story has helped people in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake left millions without adequate housing.<br \/>\nIcon uses a Vulcan printer to create these homes. They create a schematic and upload that into the program. Then the printer takes that blueprint and \u201cprints\u201d the house. Basically, it does the work of contractors by laying the cement.<br \/>\nThe model home that was on display in SWSW had a living room, a bathroom, a bedroom, and even an outdoor space (porch). Everything about the home is 3D printed except for the abode\u2019s roof. It was built on the Icon lot. And they plan to use this 3D printed house as more office space so they can further tweak the design and make it better. Hopefully, they will be able to help homeless people sleep better at night very soon.<br \/>\nWhen prototyping is finished, Icon will relocate their Vulcan printer to El Salvador and start doing good work for people in need.<br \/>\nDo you think this new housing idea could change the world for the better?<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe Our YouTube Channel Newzmagazine.com For More<\/p>\n<p>#House#tinyhome#smallhouses<\/p>\n<h3>More info on When She Told Me Her House Only Cost ,000 I Knew I Had To See The Inside<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ss-local-rss\"><div class=\"rss_header\"><h2><a href=\"https:\/\/cn.bing.com\/news\/search\/?q=When+She+Told+Me+Her+House+Only+Cost+%2C000+I+Knew+I+Had+To+See+The+Inside&amp;qft=sortbydate%3D%221%22&amp;format=rss\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"rss_title\">When She Told Me Her House Only Cost ,000 I Knew I Had To See The Inside - BingNews<\/a><br \/><span class=\"rss_description\"> Search results<\/span><\/h2><\/div><ul>\n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=6630cc35ed2841d387ed318e8e8d56ff&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.msn.com%2Fen-us%2Fmoney%2Fpersonalfinance%2Fi-was-very-disciplined-this-young-american-was-making-16-per-hour-when-she-bought-her-first-house-at-23-heres-how-she-did-it-and-why-she-s-worried-for-young-people-with-no-goals%2Far-AA1nVaer&amp;c=18080324958401802392&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u2018I was very disciplined\u2019: This young American was making $16 per hour when she bought her first house at 23.
