Tvasta
Robotic concrete 3D-printing platform for onsite and offsite (microfactory) construction
Tvasta is a construction-technology company building gantry- and robotic-arm-based concrete 3D printers plus proprietary concrete-paste formulations, offering two delivery models — an Onsite Methodology that prints full-scale structures directly at the job site, and an Offsite Methodology that prints modular components in microfactories for later assembly — used for residential, commercial, and public-infrastructure projects in India.

Why This Tool Exists
Traditional cast-in-place and precast concrete construction in India is slow, labor-intensive, and generates significant material waste and rework, constraining the pace and cost-efficiency of both affordable housing delivery and public infrastructure projects.
Tvasta builds its own concrete 3D printers (gantry-based for large-scale onsite work, robotic-arm-based for microfactory production) and proprietary concrete-paste formulations. Digital building models are converted into a "C3D Print Format" and printed layer-by-layer, either directly on site (Onsite Methodology) or as modular components later transported and assembled (Offsite Methodology); completed projects include India's first 3D-printed house/dwelling space (2021) and a 3D-printed office building and bus shelter.

Cloud-based and mobile platform purpose-built for prefab, modular, and offsite building-component manufacturers, tracking production progress, quality inspections, materials/inventory, and labor to the product level from the factory floor through delivery and field installation. "Offsight AI" adds predictive materials forecasting, AI-assisted workforce planning, and workflow automation on top of the core tracking modules.
Cyphra Autonomy builds PAL, a line of autonomous and remote-controlled robotic haulers designed to move concrete, dirt, debris, and other bulk materials around construction, excavation, demolition, and landscaping jobsites in place of a worker pushing a wheelbarrow. The company rents PAL units to contractors by the month or day rather than selling hardware outright, and remains in an early pilot/waitlist stage with a small fleet deployed in the field.
Manufacton is a cloud-based ERP platform that manages materials, offsite production, and onsite installation for construction teams. Now part of the Nemetschek Group (Allplan), it connects BIM models to shop fabrication workflows via real-time dashboards, QR code tracking, and integrations with Procore, Revit, and Primavera.
