India Builds World's First 3D Printed Temple

Indian construction company, has teamed up with SIMPLIFORGE, a building additive manufacturing company, to build the world's first 3D printed temple. Located in Dipet, West Delhi, India, the 3D printed temple consists of a complex three-part structure, covering 353 square meters and 9.144 meters high. Compared with traditional construction methods, 3D printing reduces the construction time by half, and it is expected to take only 2-3 months from start to completion. Dhruv Gandhi, managing director

of SIMPLIFORGE, told the Times of India, "The structure demonstrates SIMPLIFORGE's ability to print 51 ° at the outer cantilever and 32 ° at the inner cantilever, while meeting architectural and aesthetic needs at the construction site.". The project also takes into account structural needs, temple design principles, 3D printing needs, and meets the challenges of on-site construction. Hari Krishna Jeedipalli, project manager

of APSUJA INFRATECH, said that the dome structure of the temple, which was completely printed on site, posed great challenges, requiring the team to adopt customized design techniques, meticulous analysis and innovative construction methods. While following the principles of temple architecture, resulting in this amazing architectural marvel. The successful application of the

project has laid the foundation for applications in areas that cannot be easily reached in the near future, such as border areas, high altitude areas, desert and snow areas with extremely complex environments, as well as in disaster-stricken areas and national defense applications.
