3D printer uses construction waste to print furniture!! IIT, Guwahati researchers have developed 3D printer that uses construction waste to print furniture. They used a specially-developed printable concrete containing industrial wastes as binders to build the furniture. The concrete printer, jointly developed by IIT-G and DELTASYS E FORMING, is capable of printing components up to one metre long, one metre wide and one metre tall. The entire unit was printed layer by layer at an 80 mm/s speed, with each layer having a 10 mm height. After the unit was printed, it was covered by moist gunny bags for seven days to cure before being used. With 3D concrete printing, optimised designs are printed with 75% less concrete and without the need of mold. Great.

Join with me to congratulate Dhrutiman Dey, Dodda Srinivas and Bhavesh Chaudhari and wish them all success
