Digital Desk: Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw dedicated India's first 3D-printed post office building in Bengaluru on Friday.
According to a Department of Posts official, the 3D-printed post office building at Cambridge Layout in the city with a built-up size of 1,021 square feet would be operational after the inauguration.
As stated by postal officials, the construction of this post office building was completed by the construction company Larsen & Toubro Limited, with technical assistance provided by IIT Madras.
Following the inauguration, Vaishnaw, who oversees railways, communications, electronics, and information technology, stated, "The spirit of development, the spirit of developing our own technology, the spirit of doing something that was previously thought impossible." That is the defining characteristic of contemporary times."
Speaking about the one-of-a-kind structure, Vaishnaw explained that it was built using 3D-concrete printing technology, which is a fully automated building construction technology in which a robotic printer deposits the concrete layer-by-layer according to the approved design and special grade concrete that hardens quickly is used to ensure bonding between the layers to print the structure.
The entire construction activity was completed in 45 days, as opposed to the traditional method's six to eight months.
"Having a 3D-printed concrete building built on-site is a fantastic initiative." This is a demonstration of the technology. IIT Madras has done outstanding work on this. When this technology becomes more common, we will see more such initiatives to advance it," Vaishnaw told reporters.
He also stated that no one anticipated India building its own 4G and 5G technology, "No one expected India to manufacture its complex telecom equipment."
