As of today, there are at least three construction 3D printer manufacturers in India. There are multiple kinds of 3D printers, namely, gantry-style, D-shape and Robotic-arm style. In India you will find the Gantry-style and Robotic Arm style being developed and sold commercially.

Below are the three Startups developing Construction 3D Printers in India. 

Tvasta

Tvasta, an IIT-Madras alumni startup, is the most popular construction 3d printing companies in India. It is a 3D printer manufacturer that has completed numerous projects for well-known clients. Despite the fact that the majority of these projects were for capability testing, they are quite remarkable.

Some of its most popular projects have been the 3D printed house on the campus of IIT Madras, 3D printed houses for the Indian Army, and the recently completed 3D printed Bus Shelter developed in collaboration with Godrej Construction.

DELTASYS E FORMING

DELTASYS E FORMING, founded in 2018, is an emerging 3D printer manufacturer based in Belgaum, Karnataka. The company produces a wide range of 3D printers such as FDM, DLP, and Pellet-extrusion printers, as well as building and selling Construction 3D printers.

This rapidly growing company has already sold more than six concrete 3D printers in India, with multiple orders still pending fulfilment. IIIT Bombay, IIT Guwahati and IISc Bengaluru are among the notable customers of their concrete 3D printers.

Simpliforge Creations

Simpliforge Creations is another 3D printing startup that started as a service provider but has since expanded into the development of construction 3D printers. Simpliforge Creations is based in Hyderabad, India’s upcoming 3D printing hub, is developing a robotic arm 3D printer.

Their current 3D printer, claimed to be the largest robotic concrete 3D printer in India, can create structures up to 7m in size. Apsuja Infratech (Charvitha Meadows) and the company have collaborated to create a new-age gated community project in Telangana.

Top Construction 3D Printing Materials Manufacturers

Concrete 3D printers use a type of cement that differs from traditional concrete. To maintain control over the whole process and ensure ideal performance, companies usually develop their own materials, but not always. Sometimes they rely on material experts who can collaborate and develop a material that satisfies the printing hardware and suits the regional atmosphere where the material will be used. The material mostly is a complex mixture of Portland cement, fillers, plasticisers, additives, etc.

There aren’t many companies offering concrete 3D printing materials manufacturers in India but we list down the top two companies specialising in these materials.

MYK Laticrete

MYK Laticrete, a collaboration between LATICRETE International in the United States and the MYK Group in India, creates 3D Mortar (concrete material for 3D printing). It has an advanced R&D centre that evaluates tile and stone installation materials against multiple industry standards in order to provide customers with technical solutions. This is the first of its kind in the building materials industry, developing products to meet the needs of the global market.

MYK Laticrete has already developed a 3D printing-specific material and is available in India.

Sika

Sika AG is a Swiss company that works in the construction industry. Sika has been researching 3D construction printing (3DCP) technology for quite some time. Along the way, it has obtained 7 patents on printing processes, developed novel materials, and additives for 3D printing. The patents demonstrate its expertise and scope of operations, which include not only materials but also the technology and process to ensure a successful outcome.

Its scope spans the entire 3D printing ecosystem, including the development of unique 3D mortar formulations, concrete technology and mixture design, on-demand coloration technology, the development of precise printheads, CAD and technical design support, automation, and much more.

Sika AG also has a subsidiary in India, Sika India.

Legacy Companies exploring Construction 3D Printing in India

In addition to Startups, several legacy companies are investigating construction 3D printing in India. These Indian companies are partnering with Startups to experiment with 3D printers and materials to test the technology’s capabilities. The goal is to assess the potential and develop a business case for the future.

We take look at a few of these legacy construction firms that are interested in 3D printing.

L&T Construction

L&T Construction is one of the largest construction companies in India and the construction arm of the Larsen & Toubro conglomerate. It has collaborated with COBOD International, a Danish innovator and manufacturer of 3D construction printers and bought their 3D printer – a first in India. L&T used COBOD’s BOD2 printer to construct a two-story building in Tamil Nadu as part of the collaboration. For the material, L&T created a special concrete mix for 3D printing out of locally available regular construction materials.

Godrej Construction

Godrej Construction has been investigating 3D printing for some time, and it recently collaborated with Tvasta to build a concrete 3D printed bus shelter at its Mumbai plant. Godrej Construction and Tvasta together created a sustainable concrete mix for the bus shelter that included 30% recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) sourced from concrete waste debris and recycled at the Godrej Recycled Concrete Plant in Vikhroli, Mumbai.

The pilot project assisted the company in better understanding the technology, which it is now optimising in order to develop a commercially viable technology.

It’s still too early to comment on how Godrej intends to leverage the technology but once a business case is established, it scale-up the use of the 3DCP technology.

India Cements

Tvasta and India Cements, a Chennai-based cement manufacturing company, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for a technology partnership earlier this year. The partners will work together on dedicated research and development activities as well as the development of raw material formulations for 3D printing applications. They will also collaborate closely on key projects to develop and deliver affordable housing solutions. Both companies plan to use technology to create sustainable building solutions such as 3D printed houses or structures.

Construction 3D Printing Service Providers in India

Real estate developers are constantly on the lookout for new building techniques that will not only save them money and time, but will also be an attractive selling proposition. And 3D printing fits seamlessly into the narrative. It is not only sustainable and one-of-a-kind, but also quite strong for ground-level structures like toilets, single room homes, bus shelters, etc.

As a result, these real estate companies can always collaborate with construction 3D printing service providers to build their designs to generate curiosity and buzz around their new residential or commercial project.

Unlike other technologies which are much more developed and comparatively easier to operate for service providers, the construction 3D printing technology is big and messy and thus a service provider ecosystem is nearly absent.

As a result, all technology manufacturers, including Tvasta, DELTASYS E FORMING, and Simpliforge Creations, offer such services. Besides these manufacturers, India has two more construction 3D printing service providers.

Hamilton Labs

Hamilton Labs, the Singapore-based complete construction 3D printing solutions provider, was among the first to enter the Indian market. It primarily serves as a service provider but has also developed its own gantry-style 3D printer. In 2017, a 3D printed toilet project was carried out in collaboration with NUS, NAMIC and Hamilton Labs to accelerate the production of toilet units in India under the ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’.

Hamilton Labs has formed a number of partnerships with key stakeholders. Laticrete, Saint-Gobain, G-Cast, Ekaksha Robotic Abstracts Limited (more on them below), and others are among their partners.

Ekaksha Robotic Abstracts Limited

Ekaksha Robotic Abstracts is a public company based in Mumbai that provides complete 3D Construction Printing services. It is a new company, but they have partnered with Hamilton Labs.

They provide three services: pre-construction planning, architectural models, and construction management.

Conclusion

With this comprehensive article, you should have a good understanding of the construction 3D printing ecosystem in India. Though small, the ecosystem is expanding and gaining popularity in India. It is currently difficult to estimate the size of this market in India because most companies are working on pilot projects, research institutions are experimenting and developing materials, and legacy companies are investigating the feasibility and future potential.

The sector is expected to see significant investments over the next five to ten years, followed by growth in adoption over the next decade or so. It will be interesting to see if the Government of India approves the use of this technology for its social welfare and infrastructure development schemes.

Top 8 3D printing companies in India

As the industrial and academic ecosystem changes, the demand for 3D printers in India is rising too. With wide applications in academics, jewelry, industrial prototyping, medicinal implants and prosthetics, 3D printing is quickly becoming both widely available and widely used.

What is 3D printing

3D Printing is the process where liquid molecules, powder or granulated material is solidified and joined to achieve the desired shape and size in three-dimensions. Normally it’s done one layer at a time to make sure the proportions of 3D are maintained.

Wikipedia notes that earlier, the term “3D printing” originally referred to a process that deposits a binder material onto a powder bed with inkjet printer heads layer by layer….. (today it) encompass(es) a wider variety of additive manufacturing techniques. United States and global technical standards use the official term additive manufacturing for this broader sense.”

While, the material and equipment were developed through the eighties, Hideo Kodama of Nagoya Municipal Industrial Research Institute is credited with the invention of fabricating a true 3D plastic model.

One of the most popular applications is Rapid Prototyping, where either a small part of a machine or a scale model is created using 3D Printers.

Read how 3D Printing is helping fight the Coronavirus.

Forbes reported 7 real-life examples of how 3D priting is actually used. The two most significant uses were printing for prosthetic purpose (human body parts) and low-cost, small houses, though the latter is rather in an testing stage. It also said you could actually print musical instruments of your choice if you had the right design.

In terms of business opportunity, freelancers are creating and selling designs. online If you’re looking to get, say, a figuring based on your pet dog, you hire a freelancer online. She’ll design the model and email the design to you. You print out the model!

One can safely say there is a wide range of business applications for 3D printing and what we’re seeing today may only be a fraction.

A few lines on how 3D printers work

There are different types of 3D printing technologies out there. However, a few things are common across their working.

First you create a 3D model in your computer, using a 3D modeling software. Alternatively, you can use a 3D scanner to create that model. As of now, 3D scanners that really produce results are expensive.

After that, the printer can take over and produce the object you wanted.

One important thing to note is the 3D modeling software is popularly made to suit a particular industry. Consequently, we have seen a rise in software as well that focus on specific segments and industries.

TRUMPF partners with Indian family company Magod Laser to promote 3D printing

Indian family company Magod Laser has joined forces with TRUMPF, one of the world's largest machine tool suppliers and manufacturers of metal 3D printing systems, to promote 3D printing technology in the Indian continent. nine0005

Inspiration from the USA

The story began in 1991 in the USA, where Swami Magod, the current Managing Director of Magod Laser, received his Master's degree in Industrial Engineering. After graduating from university, he continued to work in the USA for several years, and it was here that he first became acquainted with laser technology and heard the name TRUMPF. After gaining extensive experience in the field of laser cutting, he returned to India with the clear goal of saving clients time and cost in sheet metal cutting. nine0005

Magoda Laser

Magod Laser, founded in 1997 in Bangalore, is a synonym for the use of Laser Power technology for industrial . It was the first company in South India to use lasers for sheet metal cutting. With the ultimate goal of making sheet metal cutting faster and more affordable for customers, the company has managed to capture a huge share of the Indian market. nine0005

Today Magod Laser has a total of 25 TRUMPF machines - and is a leader in the development of additive manufacturing in India.

Poppage into additive production

Magod Lasers now uses TRMPF additive production systems, such as TruPrint 1000 / Image Credit: Trumpf

with the existing preference towards TRUMPF and with positive experience with this computers , Magod Laser purchased the necessary equipment and decided to plunge into additive manufacturing. nine0005

Swamy came up with the idea when one of her clients asked the team to weld parts with a laser. Swami explained, “Two of our clients have already used 3D printing and they asked us to laser weld parts together. I realized it was time to print the metal parts myself.”

TRUMPF supplied the necessary equipment in the form of a TruPrint 1000 and Swamy introduced a combined process that took full advantage of the company's expertise. According to Swamy, “There is a limit to the size of parts in 3D printing, so we offer a combination of additive manufacturing and laser welding. To make larger parts, we just weld a few small parts.” nine0005

A major problem in the Indian AM market is a lack of technology awareness, but Magod Laser is confident of success. Many companies have reportedly already expressed interest in testing technologies spanning industries from aviation to medical devices.

Above: Swami Magod and his brother Rajendra at their factory in Bangalore / Image Credit: TRUMPF

Of course, there are many good reasons to adopt additive manufacturing. The technology opens up previously impossible geometries, paving the way for users to refine and improve their parts. The production of implants for medical purposes is just one example: 3D printed implants are more durable and more successfully fuse with healthy bone tissue. Another advantage of additive manufacturing is that it only applies material where it is really needed, so 3D printed parts are lighter. What's more, any excess powder can be recycled and reused - a much more cost-effective and sustainable approach than traditional processes where up to 80 percent of the material ends up wasted. nine0005

Hands-on experimentation is key

Magod's customers share Magod Laser's enthusiasm for experimenting with different geometries and materials in developing new parts. Magod engineers also make prototypes for companies considering 3D printing their own parts.

Seizing the Initiative

Educating potential customers and promoting 3D printing in India is an important step and Magod Laser believes it will take the lead. Magod Laser is always happy when potential customers and long-term partners can visit their manufacturing facilities to see 3D printing technology in action. He continues: “We are always on the lookout for new technologies to add to our portfolio because learning new things is a key part of our corporate ethos. We take the professional development of our employees seriously. By giving them the opportunity to gain skills in new processes such as 3D printing, we are paving the way for them to move into more responsible roles. Every new technology has a learning curve. After all, we are better off developing our own team rather than bringing in experts from outside, and our employees feel more valued if we invest in their development and gradually give them more responsibility.” nine0005

Magod benefits from having a workforce that is open and willing to learn and this inherent team trait will surely help Magod Laser play a vital role in the Indian additive manufacturing market in the future.
