India Cements has tied up with Tvasta Manufacturing Solutions to develop raw material formulations used in 3D printing applications.
Tvasta is a deep-tech startup founded by alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. It constructed the country’s first 3D-printed house on the institute campus. Later, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it built 3D-printed doffing units for several hospitals in and around Chennai.
The first-of-its-kind collaboration for the construction industry in the country is expected to offer mutual strategic support for cost- and time-effective dwelling solutions. The 3D-construction method reduces the use of sand and water by 30%.
