Indian universities and other higher educational institutions are essential to developing tomorrow’s innovators, researchers, and startup founders. Students and professors have the facility to convert an idea into a functional product with the help of an equipped lab. Technologies enable practical hands-on learning, conducting in-depth research and analyzing real-world problems in engineering, medical and design etc. These facilities also enable institutions to set up solid incubation centers on campus for startups to commercialize their ideas. Investment in industrial grade 3D printers and vacuum casting machines can improve academic performance, better research and a stronger industry partnership.
3D printing enables rapid prototyping of parts, models and physical objects
Aid learners in connecting theory with practical application
Support engineering, design, biomedical, architecture and multidisciplinary projects
Promote experimentation while minimizing material waste
Create accurate, repeatable small-batch parts from a single master model
Evaluate final product designs prior to mass production
Create components that possess intricate details and smooth finishes
Allow investigation of materials and manufacturing techniques
Reduce the gap between classroom learning and industry practices
Encourage inventive thinking and industry preparedness in students
Universities develop additive manufacturing labs to strengthen engineering education, interdisciplinary research, and industry-aligned skill development. These labs use advanced 3D printing and vacuum casting machines to enable hands-on learning, rapid prototyping, and practical experimentation.
Various institutions establish centers of excellence for improving research and finding new materials for the purposes of innovation. Advanced 3D printing and vacuum casting machines assist long-term research programs and enable universities to enhance their research and development skills.
Academic departments and teaching labs introduce 3D printing for hands-on learning, design validation, and rapid prototyping across disciplines. These machines support curriculum delivery and practical learning experiences for students.
Universities create centralized facilities where students, faculty, & industry partners collaborate to design, test, & refine functional products. Advanced machines enable rapid prototyping, precise product testing, and iterative design, helping teams bring ideas to life efficiently on campus.
Campus incubation hubs support startups with rapid prototyping, low-volume production, and market-ready product development. 3D printing and vacuum casting systems enable universities and startups to turn ideas into functional products, accelerate development cycles, and foster innovation on campus.
Polymer and metal 3D printing systems give students and faculty hands-on learning opportunities that go beyond theory. They allow learners to experiment with real-world designs, develop practical skills, and engage in interdisciplinary projects. These tools integrate smoothly with the curriculum, enhancing student understanding in engineering, design, and materials science while supporting faculty research with precise, repeatable, and complex prototypes.
3D printing and vacuum casting accelerate innovation in incubation centers by turning ideas into functional prototypes quickly. Startups can test designs, validate concepts, and produce market-ready products without large-scale investments. These systems support low-volume production, functional testing, and realistic product iterations, helping innovators move from concept to commercialization faster and with confidence.
Universities can leverage different technologies based on their specific needs:
Every machine we install is 100% grant-eligible under current schemes (2024–2028).
DST-FIST, PURSE, SATHI, SUPRA
SERB-CRG / IMPRINT
MeitY-TIDE 2.0
MoE-IIC Capital Grants
Atal Incubation Centre & Established Incubation Centre Funding
DRDO-TDF, BIRAC-BIG & LEAP
Students design, print, test, and iterate real parts every week. They graduate with portfolios full of functional prototypes and DfAM skills that companies like Tata, Mahindra, and Siemens hire on day one.
Faculty publish in Acta Materialia, Additive Manufacturing Letters, and Scopus Q1 journals while running DRDO, ISRO, and GE projects on campus metal printers that deliver flight-qualified parts.
Incubated companies move from idea to revenue in 12–18 months using 24/7 lab access that produces investor-ready vacuum-cast units and metal prototypes for defence and medical markets.
Institutions with our labs consistently secure NIRF top-50, ARIIA Rank 1–3, NAAC A++, IIC 5-star, and QS subject rankings because tangible innovation output is now the biggest ranking multiplier.
Talk with our team to map curriculum, research, and incubation needs to the right SLA and FDM printers, along with vacuum casting systems.
