Alquist 3D to Transform Greeley, Colorado, into Epicenter of 3D Construction Printing — Creating Homes and High-Paying Green Jobs

Leave a comment


“There is nowhere else on the planet where so much is happening all in one place to move structural 3D printing forward,” Alquist Founder and Chairman Zachary Mannheimer said about Colorado and Greeley.

“Colorado is committed to building a house for every budget, and we are thrilled Alquist 3D has selected Greeley for their expansion. They will create 79 new good-paying jobs in our state and help lower construction costs for housing and infrastructure,” said Colorado Governor Jared Polis.

“We are excited to welcome Alquist with open arms as they put down roots in Greeley,” said City Manager Raymond Lee. “Greeley is set to become the center of 3D technology in Colorado, and a powerful hub for affordable housing. This is a boon for our community, bringing job growth, career pathways and economic opportunity that will benefit everyone.”

Exciting Partnership
Alquist 3D considered many location options when searching for a new headquarters site. Colorado and Greeley in particular emerged as an ideal fit for the company’s expansion plans. The public-private partnership took shape quickly:

  • Colorado is providing a $1,097,242 Job Growth Incentive Tax Credit over eight years for the creation of up to 79 net new jobs, as well as a Strategic Fund Incentive for $335,000 over a five-year period for the creation of up to 67 net new jobs.
  • Greeley is investing $2.85 million. Greeley’s funding includes an upfront forgivable loan, contingent on Alquist’s relocation of its headquarters to the city and the company’s commitment to stay at least five years. The city is also helping Alquist with $100,000 of its relocation expenses. The largest portion of the city’s incentive package, $2 million, is tied to Alquist’s purchase of equipment, staffing and construction in Greeley.

“We’re excited to have a home where all the pieces of the puzzle to commercialize this industry are coming together,” added Mannheimer. “We’re thankful to Colorado for sharing in this vision, and to Greeley for its courage and hard work throughout this process. It takes a lot of guts for a municipality to go all in on a new technology.”

Plan Unfolding in Stages

  • Alquist is moving its headquarters from Iowa City, Iowa, to Greeley, Colorado. The relocation process should be completed this fall.
  • Next, once Alquist’s production facility and showroom are settled on the east side of downtown, the company will begin robotically “printing” 3D structures for a variety of clients.
  • Alquist’s first project will be 3D printing infrastructure for the City of Greeley, specifically curb systems with integrated drainage. The infrastructure will be 3D printed at Aims and trucked to installation sites chosen by the city.

Alquist is also working closely with Greeley-Weld Habitat for Humanity. The company has a home-printing contract with the nonprofit organization to produce at least 100 of the nearly 500 structures planned for the Hope Springs project near the intersection of 29th Avenue and 32nd Street along the border of Greeley and Evans.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
The company’s innovative workforce development partnership with Aims Community College will lead to many new jobs for young locals, Mannheimer explained.

He said Alquist will be recruiting some of its talent from the college’s 3D-printing certificate program, a weeks-long workforce development process in which students will learn how to run the robotic 3D printer and control its software.

The company is also partnering with the college’s existing robotics program, where students will be learning how to actually build the giant robots used for 3D printing. All of this education will be on-site at the campus and will position students who have completed the programs for priority hiring by Alquist.

More Housing by Leveraging Technology
Mannheimer sees the day when 3D printing is one of the top mainstream residential and commercial construction methods in the U.S. and globally. The benefits and advantages of 3D printing include speed, sustainability, climate resilience, affordability, and ease of maintenance.

Alquist 3D will help Colorado address its serious housing shortage: 3D home printing is a solution to rapidly building and adding new housing stock in the state along the entire price-point spectrum.

Beyond Colorado, Mannheimer noted that both the market and regulatory responses to housing shortages have tended to focus on increasing housing supply through new and different financing mechanisms instead of attacking the problem with technology to accelerate construction and optimize physical structures.

“Homeowners crave innovation that makes their lives easier,” said Mannheimer. “Alquist 3D has innovation in its DNA. The work we will be doing in Colorado, particularly in Greeley, will take that innovation to a whole new level.”

Striving for Sustainability
The built environment contributes approximately 40% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally, with about 13% of that coming from building and infrastructure materials and construction. GHG emissions are driving climate change, which in turn is creating extreme temperature and weather impacts. Colorado is experiencing those impacts, including storms, extreme heat, water shortages, and wildfires. Alquist 3D is positioned to be part of the solution, working with Aims Community College to innovate paths toward:

  • A carbon-negative 3D-printing material.
  • Big reductions in waste and water usage compared to traditional stick-built construction.
  • Storm- and fire-resistant building designs and materials.

“Our partnership with Greeley and Aims, which we’ll be creating over the next 36 months, will help us reach the day when we are actually pulling carbon out of the environment, transforming the 3D-printing construction industry into a sustainability leader,” said Mannheimer.

Beyond Housing
Alquist 3D will be creating 3D-printed public infrastructure — such as sidewalks, curbs, and drainage — in Greeley and in parts of Habitat for Humanity’s Hope Springs community. 3D printing will make this infrastructure modular, enabling the city to easily replace worn sections with 3D-printed components. That work is planned to start as early as autumn 2023.

RIC Technology Licensing Deal
Alquist 3D has an exclusive licensing agreement with RIC Technology, a global, award-winning full-service robotic construction company capable of completing large-scale projects. Alquist and RIC Technology are working closely together to test and enhance 3D printing technology, materials and processes.

About Alquist 3D

Alquist has invested years of research into 3D-printing technology and material. In addition to homes, Alquist is conducting R&D to build new public and private infrastructure using 3D-printing technology. Visit Alquist3D.com to learn more.

Ferrovalle Chooses Havis and Getac as the Solution to Run their Software SLI and Stay at the Industry’s Forefront

Leave a comment


Their software called Intermodal Logistic System (ILS) and developed internally by their System’s Engineers has evolved throughout 20 years to adapt to the latest technologies and include more rugged capabilities. All the information of daily yard operations and accesses to the terminal goes through this system, fed by the team in each of the phases through which a container goes through starting from its access on board a truck or a train.

“Ferrovalle’s technological ecosystem is supported by three components: The super Wi-Fi network, SLI software, and Getac tablets. If one fails, it is not possible to succeed, therefore, these three components have to be excellent. SLI will continue to evolve in the future with the incorporation of new features that will strengthen security issues. Getac’s technology is part of these plans and is present in the Program of Zero Distance to our customers,” says Francisco Fabila, General Manager of Ferrovalle.

The value of the railway logistics infrastructure —with unique dimensions— lies largely in the accurate and timely delivery of all containers that go through Ferrovalle’s facilities every day, in addition to the full real-time traceability of all the goods as part of its Service and Quality Policy called “Zero Distance”, which the company offers its customers.

Located strategically in a downtown area of Mexico City, Ferrovalle Intermodal is the railway connecting point linking the capital city with the main ports in the sea and borders. Annually, over 500 thousand containers go through their yards. Every day, eight to ten double-stack trains connect in their yards with over a thousand trucks to ensure the exchange of products for hundreds of commercial operations made by their clients.

Digital Partnership: Rugged Technology to Run Management and Traceability Systems

The greatest challenge faced by Ferrovalle’s collaborative team to ensure the interaction of all SLI actors, from the access control guard to the crane operator, was to select the right hardware, given the rough conditions outdoors, with multiple users moving through the yards. In addition, it had to be a rugged device to support the software and have efficient wireless connection to use the super Wi-Fi network from anywhere in the terminal.

Ferrovalle found in Getac a technological partner that understands the nature of their operations, the importance of absolute traceability, its focus on performance, and the strength required for daily operation. Their rugged tablets were a great addition to this technological partnership and allowed the effective digitalization of the yard operations of this railroad leader. This decision was key for the innovation process lead by Ruben Castillo, IT Director, along with his team, to ensure the Zero Distance success.

“We first used handheld technology, but the keyboards did not last being exposed to rain, dust, and sun. We replaced them with regular tablets, but being exposed to the sun for too long, they would overheat and turn off. Also, their resolution was not good under direct sunlight and broke at the slightest bump or fall,” says Héctor López, Information Technology Infrastructure Manager.

The positive aspects are the screen contrast under full sunlight and at night, resistance to shocks, scratches, vibrations and its performance in rainy conditions. Another advantage is the guarantee and fast aftersales service,” emphasizes Ismael Rodríguez, Network Leader at Ferrovalle.

“We needed a rugged device that would allow real-time logging and tracking of all container events; that would allow us to easily capture information. The system has APPs, reports, data exchange, a website with profiles for customers, warehouse management with goods consolidation and deconsolidation, business intelligence system, and executive reports. Getac devices were 100% compatible with SLI: no burdens or delays in the operation and use of the system. This means that we have good operational and financial control of any movement, increasing productivity and compliance with the company’s business policies,” adds Edgar Hernandez, Intermodal Development Manager at Ferrovalle.

Data capturing while on the crane or on foot allowed for increased security since photographs can be taken of trucks license plates and operators accessing the terminal, standardizing and reducing times in the logistics process without sacrificing accuracy.

The robust technology from Getac is not limited to just tablets, but includes a range of accessories, mounting kits, device charging, and portability solutions, as well as security and connectivity software. Havis, a leading manufacturer of specialized products and docks for mobile or remote workers, also joined this synergy to provide fully integrated solutions designed for reliable and straightforward equipment management in the field. Their custom-designed docks or support stations for tablets took into consideration important attributes for everyday use, such as the need for a secure and ergonomic one-handed docking, optional triple antenna pass-thru connections, integrated cable management system, and support for USB accessories.

This attention to detail and a comprehensive understanding of workdays ensures the use of robust technology in real-world daily operations. Havis docks offer a strategic location to support, charge, and connect not only Getac tablets but also essential peripherals for each task. After all, the seamless integration of technology into Ferrovalle’s daily operations enhances practical efficiency without sacrificing quality, safety, or the longevity of the new devices.

Getac tablets were chosen for being intrinsically rugged devices, designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, impacts, high vibrations, high and low temperatures, humidity, dust and drops from up to 1.8 meters. Their devices are MIL-STD 810H certified, capable of withstanding drops and impacts, extreme changes in temperature and humidity, as well as IP67 certified, indicating dust-tight sealing and contact protection.

Access to core data and systems is guaranteed with better connectivity, providing full visibility of the rail network. Therefore, the tablets helped with the need to track assets and have access to this data in real time, as timely information provides Ferrovalle with decision making power and productivity, as well as key data for the task.

The company continues to lead the forefront of the Mexican Railroad System thanks to its commitment to excellence and the use of the latest generation technology, offering reliable and efficient cargo transportation that drives the country’s economic growth. With the support of Getac’s rugged technology and SLI software, Ferrovalle is marking the path to a more advanced and connected logistic future.
