Kerala's First 3D-Printed Building, 'Amaze-28,' Inaugurated

• 17 Oct 2023

On 10^th Oct, Kerala’s maiden 3D-printed building, named 'Amaze-28,' was unveiled in Thiruvananthapuram, with a 380 sq ft summer house constructed in a remarkable 28 days.

Key Points

• Location: It is situated within the Kerala State Nirmithi Kendra (Kesnik) campus at PTP Nagar in Thiruvananthapuram.
• 'Amaze-28' is designed as a demonstration project, showcasing the capabilities of 3D printing in construction.
• 3D Printing Technology Explained: 3D printing involves a layer-by-layer printing process, consisting of three key phases: data processing, material processing, and robotic printing.
• The technology allows for the conversion of real-world objects or structures into 3D models, which are then produced layer by layer.
• Advantages of 3D Printing: 'Amaze-28' stands out for its rapid construction, with a 380 sq ft building completed in just 28 days, a fraction of the time required using conventional methods.
• The technology offers greater flexibility in design, accommodating complex architectural concepts with precision and uniformity.
• Minimal wastage is a notable benefit, as computerized 3D printing generates almost no waste during the construction process.
