Tvasta: A Final Year Project Became a World-Class Industrial 3D Printing based Concrete House Construction Company

Dear Friends and Students

*A 600 sqft house constructed in 3 weeks & for half cost in IITM Campus by IITM 2016 batch Mechanical Students and later became the Co-Founders of Tvasta* (Parivarthan Reddy, Adithya Jain, Santhosh Kumar, and Vidyashankar C)- https://tvasta.construction/about-us/.

*Input:* 2D Building Plan

*Output:* 3D Printed House

*Material Input*: Proprietary Concrete Mix developed by the Team, Lighter, Stronger, Sustainable, Less Carbon footprint

*Material /People Not Required*: No Bricks, No temporary structure (scaffolding), Less Labour

*Traditional Method:* Concrete Setting Time: 21 – 48 days

*3D Printing Process*- Green Strength in a few minutes and Structure Ready by 7-10 days

* Tvasta’s Concrete 3D Printer*: Make in India by Avant Grade Systems

* Tvasta’s Digital Construction Modeling Platform*: A Proprietary Tool developed to serve as a reliable connection between the technological elements of the Civil Engineering Industry and the field of construction 3D printing

Friends, Approx. 600 million people are expected to make urban India their home by 2031, a whopping 59% increase from 2011. Micro-Apartments are futuristic. Additively Manufactured Houses (3D Printing) is the solution. It reduces labor costs as low as 1/5th when compared to traditional construction practices.

*Look at the statement*: 2000 sqft house, less than week construction (1/8 of time for the functional house), creates only 1/3rd of the waste than the traditional process, allowing the architect to explore more complex structural designs, 20% of the standard cost. Is it interesting?

*Future Potential:* 3D printing construction to reach $56.4 million by 2021! Is it Promising?

*Appeal to Final Year Engineering Students*:

Tvasta is an outcome of a Final Year Mechanical Engineering Project!! Now we are Dec 2020. It is time for the selection of your final year projects. Please plan something futuristic!! Please don’t compromise on the quality of the project.

Who knows, it becomes bread for your future!! Hope You agree with me. Wish your final year project becomes another Tvasta! Even if you get *CAMPUS PLACEMENT*, request you to keep the best possible efforts and bring great solutions out of your final year project.

Your well-wisher
