Tvasta, a deep-tech startup incubated at IIT Madras, has created India’s first 3D-printed villa in Pune for Godrej Properties. This innovative approach uses automated construction techniques, allowing for faster completion compared to traditional methods.
Sustainable and Efficient Design
Tvasta’s 3D printing technology repurposes construction waste, making it an eco-friendly alternative. The villa’s walls are designed for better insulation, leading to lower energy consumption and reduced utility costs.
Advancing 3D Construction
Co-founder Parivarthan Reddy highlighted the project’s potential in revolutionizing construction. The use of patterned walls and intricate architectural designs showcases the flexibility of 3D printing, pushing the limits of conventional building practices.
Custom Homes with Minimal Waste
One of the key benefits of 3D printing in construction is the ability to customize homes to individual preferences. The technology also minimizes material waste, promoting sustainable development while ensuring durability through the use of concrete.
Expanding Globally
Tvasta has entered the international market, selling 3D construction printers in the US and West Asia. It has provided mobile 3D printers to TNT Development Company in North Carolina for workforce housing and to Virginia Tech for affordable housing projects.
Diverse Applications and Recognition
The startup has also built bus shelters, boundary walls, and marine structures. Recently, it received the Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council’s performance appraisal certification, validating its cutting-edge construction methods. Founded in 2016 by IIT Madras alumni, Tvasta is redefining the future of construction.
