The Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman virtually inaugurated the first 3D printed house in India at Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M).
The concept of this 3D printed house was conceived by former IIT-M alumni.
The single-storey home has been built in just five days over an area of about 600 sq. ft using ‘Concrete 3D Printing” technology.
The house is by IIT-Madras based start-up ‘TVASTA Manufacturing Solutions’, within the campus, in association with Habitat for Humanity’s Terwilliger Centre for Innovation in Shelter.
The 3D Printed House would help to meet the deadline of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘housing for all’ scheme by 2022.
