Series D

Its multi-story Titan printer cuts build time by six weeks and costs 40% below traditional methods, undercutting a stressed homebuilding industry.

  • ICON closed a $200 million Series D co-led by Baillie Gifford and funds managed by BlackRock, bringing total funding to $700 million at a $1.4 billion valuation.
  • ICON designs and manufactures large robots that 3D-print homes and other structures using its proprietary FormCrete material and BuildOS software.
  • The capital funds production of Titan, ICON's new multi-story robotic printer priced at $899,000 with a 27-foot build height, plus a large-scale R&D facility in Austin.
  • ICON says Titan cuts average home build time by six weeks, needs more than 10 fewer workers, and lowers overall costs 40% below the national average.
  • ICON has built more than 270 homes and structures across five states and two countries, including a $62.8 million, 10-barracks project for the U.S. Army at Fort Bliss.
  • ICON plans to rapidly expand Titan deployments across Texas, Florida, and Washington, D.C., while continuing development of next-generation systems including Olympus.
  • Institutional backers like BlackRock and Baillie Gifford committing to construction robotics signals renewed investor confidence in automating an industry that has resisted change for decades.
