Welcome to Printing Money Episode 26!  For this episode, Danny is joined by Dayton Horvath, Director of Emerging Technology at AMT (and Printing Money alum!). Danny and Dayton had some quality time to plan this episode, having both just been at Additive Manufacturing Strategies a couple weeks ago.  And the planning was needed, because there have been a lot of noteworthy deals not just in the last month, but also some in Q4 which we hadn't had time to cover. Danny and Dayton start off by reviewing AMS 2025.  Speeches by Stratasys CEO Yoav Zeif, AM Research's Scott Dunham, and The Barnes Global Advisors' John Barnes are all referenced as the additive manufacturing (AM) “industry” struggles to establish its value and confronts its status as a standalone (or not?) technology. Next, drawing upon AMT data, Dayton takes us through the 2024 year that was in 3D printing M&A and investment (Hint… not a great year!).   Danny and Dayton also highlight some of the most notable 2024 deals. Then Danny and Dayton jump into Printing Money's bread and butter, analyzing recent deals across the 3D printing landscape.  Some themes include software companies buying simulation companies, a continuing focus on AM for military and defense, and AUKUS, more specifically Australia. Please enjoy Episode 26, and check out our prior episodes. This episode was recorded February 18, 2025.

Mary Ann and Alex were joined by Kirsten once again to parse the week's news and call out the biggest stories in startups and venture:California passed a law that will require venture firms to disclose certain market data concerning whom they are investing in. Some investors and venture groups are opposed to the law.ALIAVIA Ventures has put together a new fund to invest in women building tech companies in Australia and the United States, with a focus on helping Aussie companies reach the American market.Canopy Servicing raised a $15.2 million Series A1. Alex caught up with the company, hoping to learn what it took to raise a fintech round in 2023. Things have changed since the go-go days of 2021 when every round felt like a fintech round and every fintech round felt like a pre-IPO deal.And rounding out our deals of the week, Kirsten brought a fascinating $200 million deal between a private equity group and EVPassport. If the world is going to move more toward electric cars, then we're going to need more plugs in more places.From there, we worked to draw a connective line between the startup turbulence we've seen recently, with Braid shutting down, Shift and IronNet going under, and Blue Apron selling for a fraction of its former value.And to close, can technology solve a labor shortage in construction? And if so, what role will startups play in that work?We had a great chat with the CEO of Medium earlier this week, and have a packed agenda for you including another interview that we're excited about.

Author David Rundell joins to discuss King Salman's incredible impact on Saudi Arabia. King Salman has played an enormously pivotal role for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the development of the modern Saudi state. Before the conversation, the hosts discuss an archaeology summit taking place in Al Ula this week, an interesting and exciting new investment made by Saudi Aramco's VC arm, Wa'ed, into a company that is building new homes using 3D printing, and much more as always in the program's Yallah! segment.7:36 - Richard's One Big Thing is AlUla's invite-only AlUla World Archaeological Summit taking place this week. The three-day summit's program of panels, discussions and excursions commenced yesterday at Maraya Concert Hall, the ancient region's giant mirror-cladded multipurpose venue located amid a wealth of archaeological treasures stemming from the Neolithic era to the early 20th century. 16:26 - Lucien's One Big Thing is Aramco's VC arm Wa'ed and its investment into an exciting, California-based 3D homebuilding company called Mighty Buildings. The company claims its proprietary printed material, made of 60% recycled glass, is five times the strength of concrete, 70% the weight and produces fewer carbon emissions during manufacturing. It's also rated for winds up to 150 miles per hour — hurricane-force, in other words — and compliant with the California Building Code, including Title 24 Energy requirements and other regulatory standards. Mighty Buildings employs ultraviolet light to cure its material off-site. This allows for “highly refined” and “unique” shapes with a range of customization options, the startup says, while reducing waste as only the material that's required is cured.28:36 - Author David Rundell joins to discuss King Salman's incredible impact on Saudi Arabia. Rundell spent 15 of his 30 total years in service as a diplomat in Saudi Arabia, including as Chief of Mission. Lately, Mr. Rundell has been active in providing commentary and analysis in the media -- two items from David which we've referenced recently on The 966 include his recent piece for the online publication Unherd, entitled “How MBS wins friends and influences people,” and for Newsweek earlier this year, entitled Saudi Arabia's True Role in 9/11, in which he and fellow author Michael Gfoeller dispel some common myths on Saudi Arabia's connection to those attacks.56:44 - Yallah! Top storylines on Saudi Arabia this week ---•Saudi Arabia is working on its own major commercial cruise line brand designed for those with “Arabian preferences.” AROYA Cruises sets sail next year with a single ship, formerly known as World Dream, the last remaining ship of the struggling Dream Cruises company.•The United States and Saudi Arabia are in talks to secure metals in Africa needed to help them with their energy transitions, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing people with knowledge of the talks.•Noor Riyadh, the Largest Light Art Festival in the World, will return for its third edition in Riyadh, with the festival running from November 30 to December 16, 2023, and the exhibition from November 30, 2023 to March 2, 2024.•Saudi Arabia's new Red Sea International airport (RSI) is on track to open this year along with the first three resorts at The Red Sea destination and Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) will become the first airline to operate out of the airport. •Saudi Arabia's new Red Sea International airport (RSI) is on track to open this year along with the first three resorts at The Red Sea destination and Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) will become the first airline to operate out of the airport.•The company formed to build the kilometre-high Jeddah Tower in the Saudi city of Jeddah has restarted work on the scheme and has drawn up a list of contractors who may complete the structure.

Mighty Buildings, a startup building tech for prefabricated, ostensibly environmentally-friendly homes, today announced that it raised $52 million in a funding round co-led by Waed Ventures and Bold Capital with participation by Khosla Ventures.

We need more homes for people. We need them cheaper so people can afford them. And we need them eco-friendly and carbon-neutral and self-powering so that our planet doesn't die in the process. Is the answer 3D printing homes? Perhaps, partly. In this TechFirst with John Koetsier, we chat with the CTO of Mighty Buildings, Dmitry Starodubtsev. We talk about the fact that the construction industry in the US produces 600 million tons of waste annually, that we need robotics, automation, and 3D printing involved in home building, and we talk about Might Buildings, which says they have a solution that is 80% automated, 50% faster, and produces 99% less construction waste to create Net Zero communities: communities that produce all the power they need. We also chat about Light Stone, which Mighty Buildings has pioneered, which the company says is lighter than concrete while 4X stronger.

Technology is taking big steps in the housing industry with 3D printed homes. Developers are pushing them as “cheaper, stronger, and more efficient” than traditional homes, and the idea is gaining ground. With affordable housing in short supply, energy efficiency becoming a mandate, and the threat of more severe weather-events, 3D printed homes could provide a desirable eco-friendly option.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.A husband and wife team are building a 3D printed home in Tallahassee, Florida, that they expect to put on the market next month. It will be a 3-bedroom, 2-bath 1,440 square foot home with an asking price between $175,000 and $225,000. One of the big benefits for this kind of home in a state like Florida is the strength of the building material. Promoters say they will withstand hurricanes and flooding much better than traditional homes. And, they say these homes will also be more resistant to mold, which is a problem in areas with high humidity. Plus, they can be energy efficient, and built more quickly at a less expensive price point.3D Printer Looks Like a Car WashThe process involves a printer that looks more like a car wash but squirts out a cement-like mixture in a back-and-forth motion that's dictated by high-tech computer programs. They come in all sizes depending on the size of the building you want to create. According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the printers can range in size from about 10 x 10 feet to 100 x 100 feet and cost between a half million and $700,000. (1)The owners of the company printing the home in Tallahassee, Kyndra and James Light, told the Sun Sentinel: “Make no mistake, these houses are not your average test models.” They claim: “The finished product is far superior in strength, durability, and efficiency.”A 3D-printed home in Riverhead, New York was the first one on the U.S. market. It was listed during the summer for about $300,000. Four other 3D-printed homes in Austin, Texas, were also reportedly ready for occupants over the summer. And a community of 15 eco-friendly 3D-printed homes was supposed to break ground last month in Rancho Mirage, California, near Palm Springs, but developers are working through some regulatory delays.World's First Net Zero 3D Printed Home CommunityDevelopment company, Palari, and construction technology company, Mighty Buildings, are working together on the Rancho Mirage project. Palari claims to be “reimagining” real estate with “innovative and sustainable building strategies.” (2) MIghty Buildings says it will revolutionize home construction with 3D-printing technology. (3) They announced their plan for Rancho Mirage last spring, saying they had secured a 5-acre site and would break ground in September on the world's first 3D printed net zero energy community. (4)According to the Desert Sun, Mighty Buildings had previously built smaller accessory dwelling units with state approval. Co-Founder, Sam Ruben, told the Sun that homes for the Rancho Mirage plan would be larger, with upgraded material that is not yet approved by state officials. He says: “The units we are going to be delivering for Rancho Mirage are utilizing our next-generation material which incorporates fiber reinforcement that adds strength and performance.” Ruben says he isn't anticipating a problem with the approval, and the Palari website says that the Rancho Mirage homes will be ready for delivery in spring of next year.In addition to 1,450 square feet of living space, each home will sit on a 10,000 square foot lot. They will each have a swimming pool, and customizable options such as cabanas, hot tubs, fire pits, and outdoor showers. They will also have solar power for a net-zero carbon footprint, and a mid-century modern design.Other Communities Planned for CaliforniaPalari and Mighty Buildings already have several other projects in the works. The Palari website lists two more for the Palm Springs area including one community in Palm Springs and another in the nearby Desert Hot Springs. Their California project list also includes developments in the San Fernando Valley, the Central Coast, the East Bay, and Napa.You can find out more about those two companies and their plans by following links in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com. The websites for Palari and Mighty Homes provide information on the printing of single-family homes and ADUs. That includes the sale of homes in their planned communities, along with pricing and options. You can also find out more about real estate investing at our website by joining RealWealth for free.

Episode discussion topics We're on the hunt for solutions and having access to safe, abundant, and sustainable homes is absolutely critical to the survival of our modern society. We need to build homes that are resilient in the face of fire, wind, and water. In some areas, they need to have the flexibility to move with the earth. An oldie but a goodie: Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) are a way to build with reinforced concrete quickly, efficiently, and safely. The resulting building is resistant to fire and insulated well enough for someone to survive inside during a wildfire, albeit it's not recommended. After a fire, simply reapply the insulating foam to the outside and paint. The reinforced part helps keep the building from buckling under stress from events like earthquakes. Logix is a company in this space that demonstrates the stark difference of building with ICF. Even if you already have a home, there are a lot of things you can do to upgrade the sustainability and resiliency of your current estate. For instance, replacing windows with double pain versions or detaching your garage where you also keep chemicals that are flammable. If you're in a fire-prone area, then replace your roof using metals that won't catch from burning cinders or screening any entrances to prevent cinders from entering through small openings and eves. Builder online has a short article highlighting these and many other fortifications to consider. Modular construction techniques are a demonstration in building efficiently at scale and with the ability to offer custom builds. Think of them like legos. FactoryOS is one such company backed by big tech and big construction companies. CNBC offers this short take on some of these players. 3D printed homes? Coming soon to a culdesac near you!

A more recent example from the world of finance comes from circa 2016 when Wells Fargo settled a Los Angeles lawsuit in regards to sales behavior that was fueled in part by sales goals, here's a Harvard Law piece on this from a corporate governance perspective.

The Construction Industry is slow at embracing new technologies. This makes sense because of the risk involved in every project, and the high-cost of failure. 3D Printing is one example of technology that has been touted as having the potential to positively impact the industry, but has yet to live up to the hype.  In this week's Construction Genius episode, I talk with Sam Ruben of Mighty Buildings. They are on the cutting edge of the use of 3D printing to build beautiful, affordable, and sustainable homes. Sam addresses why 3D printing hasn't lived up to its hype yet. He also answers some of the frequently asked questions regarding this technology and its biggest roadblock to success.

In this episode we talk with Sam Ruben, the Co-founder of Mighty Buildings, a company attempting to change the way we build residential and even commercial structures through 3D printing. At the SEP we believe the future of structures should, and will, look a lot different then our current practice. (Do you know how long we've been building houses with wood!?) If I were to place a bet, I think 3D printing will be a big portion of that, and these guys have a very cool system to help us get there. mightybuildings.comWebsiteInstagramLinkedInFaceBookYouTubeEmail: info@theengineeringpodcast.com

The cost of building a new house has gone up sharply over the past year. Not just because of lumber, but because steel, insulation, windows and appliances are all harder to get and more expensive because of high demand and delays. A number of startups have promised to revolutionize construction with new materials and technologies. It's not easy — the modular construction startup Katerra filed for bankruptcy earlier this month. But there are others looking to disrupt the housing industry. Marketplace’s Amy Scott speaks with Sam Ruben, the co-founder and chief sustainability officer of Mighty Buildings, which uses an enormous 3D printer in a warehouse in Oakland, California, to build houses.

Today I chat with Sam Ruben, Chief Sustainability officer at Mighty buildings- their mission is to build beautiful, affordable, and sustainable housing using 3-d printing and automation.Traditional construction produces 3-5 lbs. of waste per square foot. The use of the 3-D printer helps to significantly reduce that. The 3-D printed material is a thermoset composite similar to Corian by Dupont and is four times more insulating that standard concrete. Their 3-D printer uses the UV light to cure the composite as it comes out of the 3-D printer. This helps to have a zero-waste production process.Using their fabrication system, they can revise the printed finish to be smooth or to better match aesthetics of the neighborhood they occupy. In addition to the fully formed unit produced in factory. They are also producing the mighty kit system which will be a complete house.These types of systems and modern construction methods are aimed at reducing the 1 in 3 people globally that will be impacted by scarcity by 2025.They are looking to put the technology in the hands of builders and developers to help accelerate the amounting housing they can produce. Mighty Buildings is looking at a fiber reinforced version of their composite so they can get into multi-family housing and low rise units to help with urban infill density.They are looking at completing Net Zero Energy Houses by the end of this year!Mighty Buildings are able to reduce cost through their manufacturing process, they use some of that savings to add batteries for storage, and they are still able to be cheaper than comparable buildings. Some Key Sustainability Features: They are able to do Zero waste production, Net zero Energy homes, and they have committed to being carbon neutral by 2028.Mighty buildings are looking into the end-of-life use of their products and how they can use their materials as input into other supply chains to help create more closed loop system. Sam touches on industrial ecology and why we need to look into ways to better reduce waste in our product life cycle process.We also touch on cradle to cradle and the need to look at end of life of the product and incorporate that into building life cycle assessments.Sam and I discuss the the distributor network model for construction and the benefits the factory construction of buildings can have for employment, worker safety, and positive system effects of other connected industries.We touch on housing affordability and the connection between housing costs, development in wildlife areas and fires in California that have occurred. You can reach out to Sam on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samruben/You can learn more about Mighty Buildings here: https://mightybuildings.com
