ITANAGAR, Nov 21: Chief Minister Pema Khandu held a meeting today with M/s Merlin Automation Solutions Private Limited to explore the scope of implementing 3D printing technology in the construction of buildings such as health centres, government schools, Anganwadi centres and other community infrastructure. 
Khandu was informed that use of 3D printing technology would drastically reduce the time required for construction, produce less waste and construct building with twice the strength of conventional construction. The use of this technology would also allow speedier construction of building in remote areas and in higher altitude locations and reduce time extensions required due to short favourable working season in these areas. It will help construction workers upgrade their skills in modern construction technology and gain more meaningful employment. It will also help in constructing buildings with lesser impact on environment and will reduce overall cost of construction in future. 
The Chief Minister gave directions to concerned departments to explore  cases for use of 3D printing technology for the construction of buildings etc.
Merlin Automation Solutions is an Indian company which is the manufacturer of world's largest 3D printer for the construction industry. All design, manufacturing and software are developed indigenously. Merlin contributed to the construction of the world’s largest 3D printer site at Chandigarh. M/s Merlin informed that 3D printing technology is being used by the Indian Postal Service, Border Roads Organization etc. for the construction of building complexes in various locations such as Chandigarh and Ladakh.
