AJAX Engineering unveils 3D Concrete Printing technology at its Doddaballapur facility
AJAX Engineering has entered the realm of 3D Concrete printing technology by introducing its own 3D Concrete printing machine. The company recently demonstrated the technology by constructing a 350-square-meter home in just 3 days, showcasing the capability for rapid, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable construction.
The AJAX 3D concrete printer is designed for large-scale applications, particularly in projects requiring swift construction, such as mass housing solutions. The technology offers an efficient way to meet government affordable housing goals. Beyond residential buildings, the AJAX 3D Construction printer is versatile, and capable of creating structures like villas, post offices, fire stations, bases for wind turbines, and sculptures, opening up a wide range of possibilities globally.
The AJAX 3D Construction printer translates CAD designs into physical objects, revolutionizing construction technologies by providing design flexibility, reducing material wastage, and enhancing structural strength and durability. The current model, APX 1.0, can construct buildings up to 10 meters in length, 10 meters in width, and 9 meters in height. Future iterations are expected to have increased capacity.
Speaking on the occasion, Shubhabrata Saha, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, AJAX Engineering said, “At AJAX Engineering self-reliance and innovation are fundamental to our business. AJAX has been building world-class in India for more than the last 3 decades. We have been championing the cause of Indian innovation and engineering through our distinct range of 360-degree concrete solutions. Launching our 3D printing technology underscores our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and creating world-class technology and equipment in India. We are excited by the possibilities that 3D Concrete Printer provides in terms of construction. We see distinct value in contributing to the goal of achieving “scale at speed” for shaping a transformative future.”
The technology brings various benefits, including error reduction, increased design flexibility, minimized wastage, and lower material consumption. The AJAX 3D Concrete printer accelerates construction timelines by working overnight and eliminating downtime due to safety or visibility concerns.
In alignment with its impressive year-over-year growth, AJAX Engineering plans to invest 100 Crores in Karnataka, including a new plant in Hosahalli and production capacity enhancement in Gowribidanur. The company also aims to provide comprehensive solutions through its “AJAX School of Concrete,” fostering skill-building, and innovation through research and development, collaborations, partnerships, and consulting services to the concrete industry. With the introduction of AJAX 3D Concrete Printing technology, AJAX Engineering positions itself as a trailblazer in the future of construction, contributing to India’s journey towards global manufacturing prominence.
