FMGI is making headlines with 3D printing! Walmart is always looking for innovative ways to build and leverage technologies. 3D concrete printing was on Walmart’s radar and they selected Alquist 3D as their partner for the first project–adding a pickup and delivery space to an existing store in Athens, TN. As a valued member of Walmart’s GC team, FMGI brought the construction perspective to this first-time project helping to mitigate and minimize risk. FMGI was tasked with determining the how, when and why so that the concept could be delivered in a structurally sound way. Our rockstar team adapted normal construction procedures to work with Alquist 3D’s new printing technology to fulfill Walmart’s vision.
With proof of concept delivered, the process can be refined and a carbon neutral building solution will save time and minimize environmental impact in the future. We look forward to future opportunities to perfect this 3D printing process in the construction arena. Many lessons learned. Many exciting projects to come!
