DEVELOPER of the largest 3D CONCRETE PRINTED
Commercial structure in the United States
REVOLUTIONIZING
COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION
In partnership with Walmart, Alquist completed the largest 3D concrete-printed (3DCP) commercial building in the United States.
The 8,000 square-foot addition to Walmart Supercenter in Athens, Tenn. boasts 19’4” high walls – among the tallest, seismic-ready, 3DCP structures in the world.
The use of 3DCP revolutionizes the construction of commercial spaces to offer more efficient and sustainable solutions when compared to traditional construction methods.
AT ALQUIST WE ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF A CONSTRUCTION REVOLUTION.
Alquist utilizes high-precision 3DCP robotic technology and carbon-neutral materials to pioneer faster, stronger, and economical building innovations that are environmentally responsible.
Part of our mission is partnering with communities to utilize our 3DCP technology and adopt our Economic Ecosystem. Our Economic Ecosystem model introduces our 3DCP training & curriculum for the next workforce generation to create new jobs, affordable housing, and stronger infrastructure – all for a more sustainable future.

Who we work with
About ALquist
In December of 2021, Alquist became synonymous with 3D concrete printing (3DCP) by completing the first owner-occupied 3D printed home in the world. Alquist uses 3D printing technology to create exceptional designs while lowering the cost of housing and infrastructure. After 6+ years of research, and working with multiple machines and materials, Alquist continues to be a leader in the industry.
Alquist’s approach to 3DCP has been unique in our emerging industry. As 3DCP continued to emerge, Alquist took the route of becoming a construction company – as opposed to a manufacturer. Our goal is to become experts on a wide variety of printers, materials, and methods to expand our understanding and gain insightful knowledge of the best practices for the future of this industry. Alquist is the only 3DCP company that knows to work directly with local city officials, passcode and permitting, and successfully print a home using multiple printers and/or materials.
In September 2023 Alquist moved our offices to Greeley, CO after working with the City and the State of Colorado. Together with our municipal partners, and Aims Community College, to create our unique Economic Ecosystem, bringing jobs and housing back to our communities.
What/Who is Alquist?
The name Alquist goes back to founder Zachary Mannheimer's theater background. Alquist is a character in the 1920 satirical play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) by the Czech playwright Karel Čapek. R.U.R. was the first piece of literature to coin the term "Robot".
In the play, "robots" are invented to speed up Rossum's manufacturing facility. Over time the robots take on human emotion and revolt over their conditions, leading to an epic battle of robot vs. human. Alquist, the main engineer, is the only character in the story who believes that humans and robots can co-exist peacefully. He is spared by the robots and charged with forging ahead a new robot/human peace.
