One project can prove a concept. Scale proves the model.

What started as a pilot with Walmart has grown into multiple completed projects, with more than 30 additional 3D-printed builds in the pipeline through 2027.

Working alongside FMGI, we’ve been able to take what we’ve learned from each project and apply it to the next, helping make robotic construction more repeatable, efficient and ready to scale.

For Walmart, that means a new way to expand and improve stores. For Alquist and FMGI, it’s proof that 3D printing can move beyond one-off demonstrations and become part of how commercial construction gets done at scale.

This National Tradesmen Day, we’re recognizing the skilled tradespeople who keep projects moving every day, and the next generation preparing to join them.

Through our partnership with Aims Community College, students are learning 3D concrete printing, including how to work with robotic systems, materials and design as part of the construction process.

It’s a hands-on way to introduce new technology while building on the skills and problem-solving that have always defined the trades.

We’re proud to work with Aims to help prepare students for where construction is headed next.

We're thrilled to share that since 2025, more than 200 students have participated in our 3D construction printing courses developed in partnership with Aims Community College, gaining hands-on exposure to the technology, materials and skills shaping the future of construction.

As our work expands nationally, we’re proud to keep building that talent pipeline right here in Greeley and to deepen the partnership as we expand our presence at Aims’ new Workforce Innovation Center in 2027.

Thanks to NOCO Style for highlighting our growing partnership with Aims and the City of Greeley.

Speed matters in construction, and when a project can open sooner, that time has real value.

In Fast Company’s recent look at our work with FMGI and Walmart, 3D printing was shown to cut production time by one-third and construction costs by 15%.

As Darin Ross, FMGI President and CEO, put it after seeing the technology in action: “I saw the robot print the walls, and the speed and accuracy in which they were doing it. The light bulb went on.”

That light bulb has turned into real momentum, with more Walmart projects on the horizon.

Advanced technology is becoming a major recruitment tool for the construction workforce.

Our friends at FMGI said it best in a recent Fast Company article: “Convincing young people to take a position at FMGI becomes much easier when they see a future with robotics as opposed to just manual labor.”

We see the same opportunity. By bringing robotics, automation and 3D printing onto the jobsite, we’re changing how we build, creating new career paths and showing the next generation that the future of construction is high-tech, innovative and full of opportunity.

Five projects down. More than 30 in the pipeline.

Walmart, FMGI and Alquist are bringing 3D construction printing into the commercial sector at a scale the industry hasn’t seen before.

Fast Company recently took a closer look at how the partnership is helping move 3DCP beyond individual projects and toward broader adoption across commercial construction.

“For 30 years, I’ve watched the construction industry just do it the same way over and over. We as an industry are way behind in adopting new technology and new ways of doing things.” — Darin Ross, President and CEO of FMGI

What began with an 8,000-square-foot expansion in Athens, Tennessee, has now grown to five completed projects, with full-scale buildings and more than 30 additional projects in the pipeline through 2027.

For Alquist, this is what scaling 3D construction printing looks like: putting the technology in the hands of contractors, proving it on real commercial projects and creating a path for broader adoption across the industry.

Mounted on an extended rail system, the Alquist A1X can travel along the build as it prints, expanding its reach and making larger commercial projects possible without compromising accuracy.

Smarter tools. Smarter construction.

Robotics aren't replacing the jobsite. They're making it smarter.

The Alquist A1 and A1X combine robotic precision with the speed and scale today's construction industry demands. Designed through years of real-world experience, our systems help contractors deliver projects more efficiently while reducing waste and maintaining the quality every job requires.

Because the future of construction isn't about replacing proven building practices, it's about giving builders better tools.
