## Footage

- **video** (deployment): [ICON Vulcan 3D-printing construction system](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MZcuMjZ2vU). _Courtesy of ICON_. ICON footage of its Vulcan 3D-printing construction system extruding its 'Lavacrete' mix to print wall structures layer by layer along a track. Crew-supervised: operators run the printer and manage the material, and the printer produces only the wall shell; roof, windows, utilities, and finishing are conventional trades.
