D.R. Horton, the leading homebuilder in the U.S. by volume, has announced a strategic investment in Apis Cor, a pioneering firm in construction 3D printing technology. This partnership is set to kick off with a collaborative multi-unit construction project in South Florida, leveraging Apis Cor’s advanced 3D-printed wall system to dramatically enhance building productivity.

Founded to combat the significant labor shortage affecting homebuilding nationwide, Apis Cor provides a solution with its 3D-printing technology designed to augment the workforce, enhance efficiency, and increase housing inventory. With over 400,000 construction jobs unfilled in 2023 and a surge in retirements, the demand for skilled labor far outpaces supply, making Apis Cor’s innovations more critical than ever.

Anna Cheniuntai, CEO and co-founder of Apis Cor, emphasizes the potential of D.R. Horton’s vast expertise to scale and advance the adoption of their technology, aiming to make it accessible to builders across the U.S. swiftly. D.R. Horton’s Brad Conlon, SVP of Business Development, expressed enthusiasm for Apis Cor’s achievements, particularly their mobile printer “Frank,” highlighting the investment’s goal to fast-track the commercialization of this groundbreaking technology.
