Your Walmart might be 3D printed — firm building more than a dozen 3D-printed Walmart expansions with concrete-printing robots

Alquist 3D is advancing 3D concrete printing technology with their A1X robotic arm printer, which can lay down layers at high speed. Partnering with construction firm FMGI, they plan to build over a dozen Walmart expansions using this technology. The company aims to scale up 3D printing for construction by collaborating with equipment distributors and contractors. The A1 Series printers are designed for various construction needs, with the A1X capable of constructing walls up to 20 feet high. Despite some limitations, like the inability to print roofs, 3D printed concrete offers faster construction times and can withstand challenging weather conditions.
