Foreword About six months ago, I gave a keynote address at a user meet of a leading additive manufacturing OEM and the topic that I had chosen was ‘2D to 3D in India’, figuratively indicating the two-decade journey of 3D printing in India. While the mission Chandrayan captivated national attention, AM fraternity can cherish the fact the Indian space launches have started making end-use parts through AM for the past 2 years. First set of AM users in India established the AM systems around 1996-97 to explore their use in prototyping and product development. Pioneering technologies like FDM, stereolithography and metal sintering still lead the pack with innovative offerings; while other early entrants like Helisys-LOM and Cubital-Solid Ground Curing faded into oblivion. Survival of the fittest applies to all domains; AM being no exception. At this juncture when the impetus to AM applications both in plastics and metals is at its peak, it is always interesting to reflect on some pivotal changes that we have lived and worked through. Early generations of AM machines were largely used for making communication models, as the material choices were limited and process accuracy was below par. It should be to the credit of the Indian auto companies that the use of AM technologies remained upbeat. While many of them used AM for rapid prototyping; a few gained expertise in indirect method of generating multiple parts through rapid tooling. During early 2000s, development of intricate metal castings using ABS and SLA master patterns was championed by TVS, Bajaj, Tata Motors, etc., and the need for metal AM was addressed, albeit indirectly. While establishments like GTRE, DMRL and DRDL continued using AM parts for experimental stress analysis and assembly integration; a concurrent phenomenon occurred in Indian jewellery sector, which found an effective ally in SLA for making high quality patterns. Concurrently Indian AM service sector started emerging with entry of a few service bureaus and their role in sensitising the users on potentials of AM in product development needs a special mention. During this early period, the Rapid Prototyping Society of India, formed under the aegis of the Institution of Engineers (India), conducted a series of workshops and seminars for popularising AM both in strategic and engineering sectors. Memory of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam inaugurating one of the RPSI events is still vivid in memory. Several industry honchos like Dr. Pawan Goenka, Dr. Bharat Balasubramanian, Mr. Dilip Chhabria delivered stimulating keynotes in 2004 RPSI event. Since then, users from multitudinous sectors, disparate backgrounds and diverse interests have embraced AM in India. If innovative tooling solutions by tyre makers and light-weight inspection fixtures by auto majors dot Indian manufacturing landscape, it is a testimony to collaboration among OEMs and end users. An unmissable aspect of recent times is the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship among the millennial leading to numerous business models based on AM and design. Startups specialising in the supply of customised gifts, patient-specific surgical guides, architectural models, medical devices, educational aids and wearables have seamlessly integrated AM into their business models and supply-chains with innate features of design freedom and customisation. AM build process is only part of the overall eco system, implementing the full process supply chain is the key to the timely fulfilling of customers’ needs. Heartening feature is the success story of a few of the early entrants in rising to these expectations and blazing the trails for several others. Reflecting the similar trend, technology business incubation centres and entrepreneurship development centres have set up maker spaces with multiple 3D printers so that incubate companies can accelerate their product design and development pursuits.
Medical field presents immense uptake opportunities for AM. Orthodontists, maxillofacial and orthopaedic surgeons making use of AM models for surgical planning is gradually gaining acceptance despite the obvious lack of standard support mechanisms. Neoteric entrepreneurs are also exploring developing special purpose 3D printers based on binder jetting principles for tissue engineering. The tooling sector, while representing a massive horizon of AM opportunities, has not really leveraged AM to the hilt. Barring few instances wherein the Indian enterprises have leveraged AM for high-volume production, majority of the efforts are limited to one-off printing or substitution of conventionally manufactured parts. The approach should be to understand the principles of designing for AM and reengineer the design so as to realise functional advantages like part consolidation, light weighting and functionality improvement. The impact, even if a few thousands of spare parts get saved in digital warehouses to be delivered on demand through 3D printing, could be humongous. Challenge lies in identifying the right candidate parts for AM and arranging the digital data in such a way that all the manufacturing information is available besides CAD data. Atal Tinkering Labs, the mission of NITI Aayog for infusing design tinkering skills among the school students has contributed significantly in AM democratisation with a consequential phenomenon of desktop 3D printers entering thousands of school portals across the country. A spin-off benefit this increased awareness is the continued healthy growth of Indian AM startups that specialize in desktop 3D printers. While the evolution of AM technology into a disruptive force that it is today, is beyond doubt; the speed of adoption is much slower than we had expected, rather we had all hoped for. It is a people-centric challenge interwoven with the vagaries of technologies, dynamics of business models and perceptions. Inter-disciplinary and multi-organisational efforts are needed for getting the AM parts made of new generation materials certified for direct use. With country’s thrust on indigenous manufacturing and proclivity of younger generation towards digital processes, upcoming days look bright for AM fraternity. Dr. U. Chandrasekhar, FIE, C.Eng.

Introduction To India AM Report The India AM Report was conceptualised to provide a credible reference point for the manufacturing industry in India and international companies, looking to invest in the Indian Additive Manufacturing landscape. This edition of this annual comprehensive report maps the growing Indian Additive manufacturing industry. The India AM Report 2019 is based on our in-depth understanding of the Indian AM industry and comprehensive market research. This included primary research - detailed interviews with 35+ industry experts selected from the Additive Manufacturing supply chain and end consumers. This was supported by intensive secondary research, which included referring to trade publications and literature, company details, statistics and academic publications. Market forecasts were developed from the primary and secondary research. This was combined with I3DPn’s existing insight and database of market information on Additive Manufacturing Industry produce a first of its kind report in India. This report takes you through the historical journey of AM in India and Globally. It also provides you the State of the AM Industry in India, ASEAN and Globally with current scenarios, industries adopting it, on ground numbers and future forecasts. For the uninitiated, the India AM Report also includes sections on Technology Review, Process Flow and Applications allowing them to come upto speed with this revolutionary technology. 1995 marked the first investment into AM by the Indian industry. Almost 25 years have passed since and Indian industry has made advances including: Acceptance by Jewellery and Automotive industries for mould making & prototyping respectively. Increased Metal AM installations entering diverse applications like Aerospace, Space, Defence and Tooling Medical AM and Bio-printing companies A thriving startup ecosystem addressing various needs including software, digital manufacturing and system development. Ongoing projects at Academic & Research Institutes and Educational Curriculum. Many others, which have been captured in this report. India is today only touching the tip of the Iceberg in adoption of this technology, however with the ingenuity of Indian industry and existing/upcoming government policies an exponential growth in this space is just around the corner.
