Gujarat: Indian Army Creates First-ever 3D Printed Houses In Gandhinagar
Indian Army¡¯s Military Engineering Services constructed two houses within four weeks using the 3D Printing Technology in construction.
For the very first time, the Indian army has constructed 3D printed houses for soldiers in Gujarat. The Military Engineering Services (MES) completed the first-ever 3D printed houses at South Western Air Command at Gandhinagar.
According to ANI, using the 3D rapid construction technology helped the MES construct two fully 3D concrete printed, modern-day dwelling units with green building concepts in only four weeks.
These 3D printed houses were inaugurated in presence of Engineer-in-Chief Lt Gen Harpal Singh.

Cost optimization is a big factor... But good for where we have less accessibility of materials.

As opposed to the conventional method of building houses, 3D printed houses take far lesser time. India's first 3D printed houses were built by IIT madras startup Tvasta.
3D printing is an automated manufacturing method for constructing three-dimensional real-life structures. The technique utilises a concrete 3D printer that accepts computerized three-dimensional design files from the user and fabricates a 3D structure in a layered manner.
Last year, the alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M) built India¡¯s first 3D printed house inside the campus, which was inaugurated virtually by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The single-storey home has a built-in area of 600 sq. ft. and a functional space comprising a single bedroom, hall, and kitchen.
Thank you @nsitharaman for inaugurating our 3D Printed House. Tvasta salutes the showcase of solidarity by the Indian Government towards home-grown technologies and young ventures in India!@narendramodi @PMOIndia @MoHUA_India pic.twitter.com/JEjGs0sMLN
