The 3D-printed post office is a pilot project by the Department of Posts in India. The department is planning to build more 3D-printed post offices in the future. The technology is seen as a way to reduce the cost of construction and to build post offices in remote areas that are difficult to reach.

The inauguration of the 3D-printed post office was attended by Union Minister for Railways, Communications, and Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw. He said that the post office is a "testament to India's innovation and progress". He also said that technology has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry.
