About the partnership

The manufacturing sector in India has been fraught with various challenges to meet the contemporary needs of end-users. These include higher precision, faster time-to-market, mass product customization and automation. Organizations have thus focused on leveraging new technologies such as rapid prototyping and 3D printing via computer-aided design software. For this, they use a range of raw materials such as plastic, thermoplastic, metal, fibre, resin and ceramic. This further helps them produce sophisticated designs at minimal costs and lower raw material usage.

Anand Bhade, President & Global Head of Technology Solutions, Tata Technologies, said, “As manufacturing companies focus on enhancing their competitiveness in the new reality, disruptive technologies like additive manufacturing will provide them with the necessary impetus to develop and deliver better products to its customers. We are happy to collaborate with Stratasys and offer world-class 3D printing technologies to the Indian manufacturing industry to help it become more competitive.”

Rajiv Bajaj, MD, Stratasys India and SEA, said that companies look for tech solutions to address vulnerabilities in manufacturing and supply chain logistics. Thus, additive manufacturing will play a far bigger role in product innovation going forward. “Our partnership with Tata Technologies further strengthens Stratasys’ commitment to driving additive manufacturing adoption in the Indian industry. We welcome Tata Technologies, one of the most trusted brands in India, to our ecosystem. We are confident that this partnership will accelerate technological transformation in Indian industry and academia with best-in-class Stratasys technology.”
