About Alquist
Alquist's delivery model combines printing technology with local builders and trained operators. Contractors can license the technology and obtain equipment through purchase or lease, while Alquist supports a local training partnership with a college, school or other education provider. Its training platform covers 120 hours and is intended to build a workforce that can operate the printing process locally.
The company assembles equipment with robotics partners, supplies the printing mix and supervises the print. Its Colorado model brings together Aims Community College for training, FMGI as builder, Hugg & Hall for financing and equipment access, and Sika for material. This connects printer deployment to the people, materials and project delivery needed for construction work.
