How was this post office built?

Actually, this post office has been made through a machine in which 3D concrete printing is used. It uses an automated robotic printer which deposits concrete layer by layer according to the fed design. For its strength, a special type of concrete has been used in it so that one layer remains connected to the other. The total cost of building this post office has come to around Rs 23 lakh, which is 30-40 percent less than the traditional methods.

Professor Manu Santhanam of IIT Madras provided technical assistance to L&T for 3D printing of this building. He told that there is no vertical joint in this post office. Means there is no column in one way. The professor said that the 3D printing technology used in the construction of the building was imported from Denmark and its biggest advantage was that the curved design could be easily incorporated in it.
