3D-Printed Homes, an Abandoned $590,000 Deposit, the FBI: What Really Happened in This Small Town?

A 3D-printed housing project in Cairo, Illinois, aimed to address affordable housing shortages but was abandoned after the company, Prestige Project Management Inc., forfeited a $590,000 deposit for a canceled printer and halted construction, leaving an unfinished duplex. Local officials and residents had high hopes for the project, but it stalled amid structural concerns and financial mismanagement.
