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 design 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 continues 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 different types of printers, materials, and methods in order 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 has the knowledge to work directly with local city officials, passcode and permitting, and successfully print a home using multiple printers and/or materials.

Alquist has amassed a pipeline of 250+ homes to print, and an average of 50 requests per week continue to come in. Other 3D groups have great equipment, but they are struggling to get contracted projects and then work through the permitting process on a local level. These are Alquist’s superpowers. In order to meet the demand we see in this emerging market, and to continue our position as an industry leader, Alquist is creating a new program to bring this work to new partners in strategic locations.
