3D incredible is a leading additive manufacturer (Metal 3D printing) industry based in Pune, India. With this latest manufacturing technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way metal parts are being manufactured traditionally, they are realising the PM’s vision of “Make in India”.
Make in India, is an initiative with a sole purpose of inviting various commercial sectors from all around the world, to produce their products in India and sell them globally. The crusade had instigated on 25th September 2014, and since then has emerged as one of the grandest triumphs of the Indian economy.
Make in India has come with lots of benefits and advantages for the Indian Economy. Companies from various nationalities are making an investment in Make in India project, and have thrived successfully, making India a hub for the manufacturing .
Coming back to 3D printing, very complex and intricate shapes can produced without dies and tooling. It has a ‘Near Net Shape’ manufacturing process where parts are built very close to required dimensions, with a precision of 0.2 mm accuracy.
Made in India 3D printed parts can be extremely beneficial for organisations like DRDO, ISRO, Railways, BRT, etc. Let’s discuss in detail how it will bring advantage to them:
Supply chain optimization
A traditional manufacturing unit comprises of a long supply chain with various steps of manufacturing processes. The additive manufacturing process reduces the steps involved in manufacturing and optimises the supply chain. Various organisations which spend a lot of time waiting for spare parts manufacturing will quickly receive it through this optimised process done in India. This optimised supply chain will not only speed up the process, but it will also save a lot of amount our country spends on importing these equipment/parts.
Faster product development
Previously, highly engineered and complex parts were manufactured abroad and then imported. This lead to a longer lead time and slower product development. Make in India facilities will provide faster product development facility and induce growth.
Reverse engineering
The reverse engineering method uses the 3D scanning of part to be produced and manufacture it without any specific dies and tooling. The obsolete parts from older vehicles can be manufactured locally in India at much lesser cost leading to better functionality of old equipment or vehicles. Producing these parts will generate a lot of employment in India and reduce the problem of poverty and unemployment.
Spare parts manufacturing inventory management
Spare parts of heavy machinery, defence vehicles and aircrafts usually need to be ordered from abroad where the original machine has been manufactured. Sometimes these spare parts are stocked to avoid getting it manufactured again and again due to high cost of production. 3D metal printing which is done in India can reduce the stock keeping space and its maintenance. During crucial warfare, parts of military, navy and air force can be produced immediately in India.
Conclusion
The “Make in India” initiative by the government has been implemented by 3D incredible, they are not only providing made in India products, but they are also changing the traditional manufacturing method to a more optimised and cost efficient additive manufacturing.
