Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union
When a credit union in Tennessee decided to build a new branch, it chose to incorporate the latest technology in the construction process.
Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union (TVFCU) recently unveiled the building s façade, which was created by Branch Technology, maker of 3D printed building materials. Branch Technology s founders got their start at an incubator for entrepreneurs in Tennessee, and one of the credit union officials had visited the company on a tour of the incubator and decided to try the material.
“Several years ago, I had the opportunity to visit Branch Technology when they were located in the INCubator at the Hamilton County Business Development Center,” says Todd Fortner, president and CEO at TVFCU. “I was amazed at what could be made on a large scale with 3D printing. I immediately began to think about how we could incorporate this new technology into a future project.”
