About
Alex Le Roux is the technical co-founder of ICON and the original designer of the Vulcan construction 3D printer. He built his first concrete-printing gantry as an undergraduate mechanical engineering project at Baylor University, then iterated on the rig in a series of side ventures (notably Printed Farms / earlier hardware experiments) before teaming up with Jason Ballard, Evan Loomis, and Dmitri Julius to incorporate ICON in 2017. At ICON he led the hardware and printing-systems engineering org through Vulcan I, Vulcan II, and the larger Vulcan platform that powered the Wolf Ranch community with Lennar, and he served as the public face for the company's deep-tech printer and Lavacrete material development. Le Roux has been recognized on Forbes 30 Under 30 in Manufacturing & Industry and frequently represents ICON on the engineering side at industry events.
