Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw launched the nation’s first post office constructed using 3D concrete printing technology on Friday at Bengaluru’s Cambridge Layout near Ulsoor Bazaar.
Welcoming the development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted: “Every Indian would be proud to see India’s first 3D printed Post Office at Cambridge Layout, Bengaluru. A testament to our nation’s innovation and progress, it also embodies the spirit of a self-reliant India. Compliments to those who have worked hard in ensuring the Post Office’s completion.”
L&T Construction designed and finished the 1,100 square feet Bengaluru Post Office using this innovative technology within a mere 45 days. The new technology also reduces the cost of construction by around 30%.
