HYDERABAD: Telangana is all set to house what is being claimed as the world’s first 3D printed place of worship with Hyderabad-based construction player Apsuja Infratech joining hands with Mumbai-based additive manufacturing solutions provider Simpliforge Creations.
The 3D printed temple, which is coming up at Apsuja Infratech’s upcoming project at Siddipet, is a three-part structure spread over 3,800 sq ft and 30 feet in height and is slated to be completed by July. The 3D structure is expected to take 2-3 months from start to finish vis a vis a conventional construction which would have taken more than double the time.
The structure is being 3D printed by Simpliforge, which claims to have India’s first and South Asia’s largest robotics construction 3D printing facility, with the help of their in-house developed system and indigenously developed material and software.
The 3D printed temple will have three sanctums – a modak dedicated to lord Ganesha, a square Shivalay devoted to Lord Shankar and a lotus-shaped one for Goddess Parvati. While the Shivalay and Modak have been completed, the construction of the lotus and tall spires (Gopurams) are already underway.
“Completely printed on-site, the temple’s dome-shaped structures presented formidable challenges that required the team to employ bespoke design techniques, meticulous analysis, and innovative construction methods while following the principles of temple architecture resulting in this awe-inspiring architectural marvel,” said Apsuja Infratech managing director Hari Krishna Jeedipalli.
“This structure demonstrates Simpliforge’s ability to print 51° and 32° in outward and inward cantilever, respectively while printing in-situ catering to the architectural and aesthetic requirements. This construction takes care of the structural requirements, principles of temple design, 3d printing requirements while dealing with the challenges of in-situ construction,” Simpliforge Creations CEO Dhruv Gandhi said.
“This proof of concept also sets the stage for future applications of Simpliforge’s robust systems in inaccessible areas like frontiers, high altitude areas, deserts and snowy regions with applications in challenging terrain, disaster hit areas and defence applications. The enclosed dome shaped structures eliminating the need for flat slab roofs paves the way for extra-terrestrial applications,” he added.
