CEPT students with building blocks constructed using Tvasta’s technology
Chennai-based 3D printing start-up Tvasta Manufacturing Solutions has partnered with CEPT University, Ahmedabad, to set an advanced additive manufacturing workshop on its campus, marking a meaningful contribution to India’s pursuit of future-ready construction technologies.
Tvasta will provide CEPT with a robotic arm capable of printing complex forms using concrete.
A MoU towards this collaboration was signed recently between Tvasta and CEPT which will also involve researchers from both sides exploring the design and production of printed facades, building elements and integrated structural systems in which walls, roofs and slabs are printed as a single unit.
“Through this partnership, we will jointly offer studio courses in DFAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) with projects being practically built using Tvasta’s 3D concrete printers at their workshop. We also look forward to collaborative R&D in energy-efficient construction and structural performance of various 3D-printed architectural element,” said Kalyan Vaidyanathan, CTO (Construction), Tvasta.
“Tvasta’s cutting-edge additive manufacturing will enable students and faculty to prototype, experiment and rethink the way India conceives and constructs its buildings,” Chirayu Bhatt, Deputy Provost (Academics), CEPT University, said.
