Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday inaugurated India's first 3D-printed post office building in Bengaluru.
The construction of this post office building was carried out by construction company Larsen & Toubro Limited while IIT Madras provided technical guidance.
The entire construction activity was completed in a period of 45 days as compared to about six to eight months taken by the conventional method.
Cost and time savings make 3D-concrete printing technology a viable alternative to conventional building practices.
Moreover, this groundbreaking project was also cost-effective, with a total expenditure of ₹23 lakhs, marking a significant reduction of approximately 30-40% compared to traditional construction methods.
