Groundbreaking 3D-printed home construction projects are slated to finish in 2023.
Using printers to build the walls of a home could reduce the project's build time, cost, waste, and required physical labor.
The CEO of Alquist believes more homes will be printed than built traditionally by 2027.

But proponents of the construction tech — like Zack Mannheimer, CEO of 3D printing construction startup Alquist — believe printing may alleviate some of the sore spots in the traditional home building process.

Using 3D printers to build houses reduces the time, cost, waste, and physical labor needed to construct a home.

A traditional construction project that takes six to seven months to build can currently be completed in five to six months using a printer, Mannheimer told Insider in May, noting that the goal is a four-month timeline.

And as of now, printed homes are only marginally more affordable than traditionally built homes.

But these prices could continue to drop as more construction companies scale the use of 3D printers, Mannheimer said.
