The printer has a large 500 x 500 x 500 mm build space.

Even though the United States, Europe, and China are the three main additive manufacturing markets that receive the most attention, the technologies are still spreading throughout the rest of the world. India appears to be particularly well-positioned for growth. The most recent example of this is the launch of STPL 3D’s first “made-in-India” SLS 3D printer.

As previously indicated, recent years have seen a surge in the expansion of additive manufacturing in India. Examples of construction 3D printing projects that have been unveiled recently include dwellings and post offices. Not to mention the growing number of companies offering 3D printing services, such as THINK3D, Imaginarium, Wirpro 3D, and 3Ding.

Yes, there has been a noticeable increase in the market. For instance, a recent analysis from research firm 6W research stated that shipments of 3D printers in India increased by 94.89% in 2022 compared to 2021. According to a different xResearch research, the Indian 3D printing market is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3% between 2022 and 2023, rising in value from $111.0 million in 2022 to $705.1 million by 2030. This latest SLS 3D printer further demonstrates India’s advancements in this area.

It is indisputable that there aren’t too many makers of 3D printers, even though India has seen notable growth in this industry. Moreover, the majority of them concentrate on methods such as vat photopolymerization and extrusion. An SLS 3D printer manufactured in India has never been available for purchase before.

The printer, which was formally shown at a launch event that also featured developments in FDM and SLA from STLP 3D, strengthens the company’s standing as the biggest 3D printer manufacturer in India, according to a press statement. With attendees from NCAM India, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), and Sahajanad Technologies Pvt Ltd., it also created a great deal of buzz inside the nation. This enthusiasm may also be linked to the nation’s expanding emphasis on “made in India” goods as a means of promoting economic expansion.

Regarding the printer itself, it stands out because to its integrated 100W Co2 laser and greater build volume of 500 x 500 x 500 mm. It also features an integrated cleaning chamber for more streamlined workflows and an effective, user-friendly post-processing procedure. The feature is emphasised by the firm as evidence of its dedication to providing “user-friendly and future-ready 3D printing solutions.” Suffice it to say, as we watch India’s continuous evolution and embrace of additive manufacturing, it is a significant development in the nation.

“The future belongs to innovation and precision in the dynamic landscape of 3D printing,” stated STPL CEO Rahul Gaywala in his conclusion. Leading this effort, STPL 3D is dedicated to offering state-of-the-art products that not only
