Company founder and CEO Zach Mannheimer says 3D-printing cuts costs up to 15% by scaling back labor, materials, and time. The goal, he said, is to revolutionize affordable housing.
— April Stringfield has always wanted to own a home, but she never imagined it would be 3D-printed.
The concrete walls of the three-bedroom house were constructed in less than 30 hours by Iowa-based company Alquist 3D. While there are concerns about displacing traditional construction jobs and some environmental impacts of this method, Mannheimer believes his technology has potential.

Seeing more deeply into nanomaterials: New 3D imaging tool achieves highest resolution yetFrom designing new biomaterials to novel photonic devices, new materials built through a process called bottom-up nanofabrication, or self-assembly, are opening up pathways to new technologies with properties tuned at the nanoscale. However, to fully unlock the potential of these new materials, researchers need to 'see' into their tiny creations so that they can control the design and fabrication in order to enable the material's desired properties.
