New Delhi [India] Adopting additive manufacturing (AM) would facilitate an advanced level of manufacturing efficiency and help capture new markets in many sectors, a top official said on Thursday.
Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Secretary S Krishnan, who inaugurated the first National Additive Manufacturing Symposium (NAMS) - 2024 here, also said that efforts should be made to connect the National Additive Manufacturing Center ( NCAM), Hyderabad with various Other organizations are involved in this emerging technology to develop machines, materials, software or products to develop a strong network.
He said this will facilitate the industry more effectively to cultivate maximum profit, in addition to realizing maximum AM business opportunities for the country.
The event featured the publication of the Additive Manufacturing Landscape Report. A locally developed additive manufacturing machine was presented.
In his speech, Krishnan highlighted that there are many sectors where additive manufacturing could be adopted "to facilitate an advanced level of manufacturing efficiency and capture new markets."
AM is a computer-controlled method of creating three-dimensional objects by depositing materials, usually in layers.
According to an official statement, the National Strategy for Additive Manufacturing (NSAM), published in 2022, incorporates a comprehensive vision aimed at harnessing the full potential of this transformative technology to drive industrial growth, innovation and inclusive development.
So far, seven centers, dedicated to the deployment and development of AM technologies, are serving as vibrant hubs by actively engaging various stakeholders to revitalize the AM ecosystem, while spearheading the advancement of pioneering technologies in manufacturing such as packaging of optical chips, optical and electronic computing chips. components, medical devices, 3D food printing and renewable energy products.
NAMS-2024 has seen participation from various stakeholders such as industry, academia and government.
