One of the areas where we have seen rapid growth of 3D printing in recent years is in India. This is especially the case when it comes to the construction sector. With additive manufacturing poised as one of the solutions for an ongoing housing crisis, it should come as no surprise that there have been a number of interesting building projects using the technologies in the country, including homes, a post office and the world’s first 3D printed office space. To learn more, we spoke to Kelvin6k, a construction 3D printing company in India that has produced an innovative solution, which they claim to be the most affordable, for the sector.
3DN: Could you introduce yourself and your connection to 3D printing?
We are Kelvin6k technologies, a Chennai, India-based construction 3D printing company. The name Kelvin6k is derived from the surface temperature of the sun (6000 Kelvin) reflecting the company’s keen interest on exploring solar energy for developing additive manufacturing solutions. Kelvin6k was started in the year 2022 with financial support from OnDeck, USA. Since then, the inception company has had a laser sharp focus on revolutionizing construction 3D printing.

Within a short period of time the company not only developed a series of patented SCARA-based concrete 3D printers but also successfully tested them by printing multiple prints and buildings. We specialize in the creation and production of concrete 3D printing robots, capable of constructing houses on-site. As the exclusive manufacturer in India of concrete 3D printing robots for on-site house printing, our innovative technology is entirely developed in house.
