Jason Ballard is the co-founder and CEO of ICON. Jason’s problem is this: Can you use 3-D printing to build houses that are cheaper, better and more interesting than the houses we build now?

In this episode, Jason explains: 

• Why construction methods are so slow to change 
• How 3D printing opens up new designs for houses
• How building on the Moon shaped the way Icon builds on Earth
• The challenge of scaling to printing thousands of houses
