AJAX 3DC printer seamlessly translates CAD design to create physical object
AJAX Engineering, India’s leading manufacturer of concrete equipment, constructed a 350 square metre home in 3 days with its recently launched AJAX 3D concrete printing technology.
The company said AJAX 3D offers scale at speed, providing rapid, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternatives. Comparatively, conventional building methods typically demand months to construct a similar 350 sq m home.
The AJAX 3D concrete printer can excel in large-scale applications, such as a project with a large number of houses, where the differentiator is scale at speed, said Bengaluru-based AJAX.
Announcing the 3D technology on 22 Dec 2023, AJAX Engineering Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer Shubhabrata Saha said, “At AJAX Engineering self-reliance and innovation is fundamental to our business.”
“We have been championing the cause Indian innovation and engineering through our distinct range of 360 degree concrete solutions. The launch of our 3D printing technology underscores our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and creating world class technology and equipment in India.”
The AJAX 3DC printer seamlessly translates a CAD design to create a physical object from a CAD model. A game-changer in construction technologies, AJAX 3DC printing technology offers flexibility of design, reduces material wastage by printing concrete components with intricate geometries, and builds structures with increased strength and durability, incorporating functional features directly into the elements.
With AJAX 3D Concrete Printer – APX 1.0, one can construct a building as large as 10 metres length and 10 meters in width and 9 metres height.
“However, in future iterations, we envision the introduction of enhanced models with increased capacity,” said Saha.
The printer can also be utilized on-site with large-sized precast parts. Fiinews.com
