Watch these construction robots 3D print a Walmart extension in just seven days
In just seven days earlier this winter, the 3D printed robotic assembly process for a new Walmart extension was completed in Huntsville, Alabama. The concept pilot, part of the second iteration of a project led by Alquist 3D, stands 16.5 feet tall with 5,000 square feet of space to be used as a logistical warehouse. The structure was realized in February, fully two weeks ahead of schedule.  Image is courtesy Alquist 3D That's also six weeks faster than the 45 days it took to print the first warehouse in Tennessee last fall. Such an effort required a crew of only five workers using a pair of RIC-M1 Pro construction robots—significantly less than the 25-30-person crews needed for a traditional CMU structure of its size.  Image is courtesy Alquist 3D Image is courtesy Alquist 3D When you consider the industry’s skilled labor shortage, that represents an advantage in terms of project delivery and is likewise a marked improvement over the performance of other 3D printing robots, which ar...
