en.Wedoany.com Reported - Construction company V3D Asia Ltd and its commercial subsidiary Nuvah Sdn Bhd have partnered with SIRIM Academy Sdn Bhd to develop what the company describes as Malaysia's first industry standards for 3D construction printing (3DCP).

Malaysia to develop 'first' 3D construction printing standard framework

The standard framework will be drafted by a committee, with V3D Asia and Nuvah providing support as key industry partners. These two companies will contribute expertise in materials science, engineering knowledge, and practical implementation experience to shape the framework's content. SIRIM Academy, with its established position in Malaysian standards development and certification, will lead the standardization process.

This initiative comes against the backdrop of persistent challenges in Malaysia's construction industry, including labor dependency, material waste, rising costs, and extended project timelines. The three parties believe that a recognized 3D construction printing framework can help improve construction efficiency, reduce waste, and support more sustainable urban development.

Kazuhiro Ono, Chairman of the V3D Group, stated that establishing clear industry standards is crucial for accelerating the application of 3D printing construction technology safely, responsibly, and at scale. The group also indicated that its goal is to build a local construction ecosystem that reduces reliance on imported systems, positioning Malaysia as a hub for construction innovation.

Mohd Bakri Jali, Acting CEO of SIRIM Academy, said that through the partnership with V3D Asia and Nuvah, SIRIM Academy will leverage its expertise in industry standards development, training, and certification to support the establishment of a credible and practical framework for 3D construction printing. None of the companies involved disclosed a timeline for the completion of the standard framework.
