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.

No not time because it takes longer to build a 3d house. It also cost more to heat than a block house. Its a solid wall with no air space.

Sounds like a catch 22. Labor means jobs.
