Tvasta, CEPT Launch 3D Construction Printing Platform

Chennai-based deep-tech startup Tvasta Manufacturing Solutions has partnered with CEPT University in Ahmedabad to create a national platform focused on 3D construction printing. The initiative aims to integrate research, classroom learning and real-world testing by bringing academic work and on-ground construction systems together.

A memorandum of understanding has been signed under which CEPT University will establish an advanced additive manufacturing workshop on its campus in the coming months. The facility will support teaching studios, applied research and the development of prototypes designed to address practical challenges in the construction sector.

As part of the collaboration, Tvasta will provide CEPT with an industrial robotic arm capable of printing complex concrete forms. Researchers from both institutions will study printed facades, building components and structural systems in which walls, roofs and slabs can be produced as single, integrated units. The partnership will also examine how 3D-printed structures respond to heat, local climate conditions and airflow.

Another focus area will be the development of construction components that can be printed off-site, transported and assembled in regions where conventional building methods are difficult or inefficient. The workshop is expected to give students and faculty direct exposure to industrial-scale 3D printing, strengthening the link between digital design and physical construction.

Jinal Shah, Programme Chair for MCDF at CEPT University, said the facility would allow students and faculty to test design ideas, experiment with printed components and connect architectural and engineering concepts with real-world construction practice.
