The investment, which was made by cooperating with COBOD International, Bakrie admitted that it would begin to show the 3-dimensional printed house around the second quarter of 2024.
"It's expected that in January 2024, Modula will bring in a machine with 3D printing technology and start building sample houses in the second quarter of 2024," Bakrie said at Bakrie Tower, Jakarta, on Tuesday.
The cooperation between Modula and COBOD will be realized in the form of establishing a company called Modula Tiga Dimensi.

Meanwhile, in the new renewable energy (EBT) industry, another BNBR business unit, Helio Synar Energi, has reportedly successfully installed a rooftop solar power plant (PLTS) facility at the Braja Mukti Cakra (BMC) factory, Bekasi, West Java.
Bakrie explained that the rooftop solar power plant with a capacity of 317.7 kW (kilowatt-peak) is capable of producing up to 434 MWh (megawatt-hours) of electrical energy per year.
He also estimated that the total CO2 sequestered per year from this rooftop solar power plant is expected to reach 289.62 tons.
"After BMC, Helio will also soon build rooftop solar power plants in factories and other operational facilities within the Bakrie Group, with a larger capacity," he remarked.
