| About Technology Development Board (TDB) | TDB provides financial assistance to Indian industrial concerns and other agencies, attempting development and commercial application of indigenous technology, or adapting imported technology to wider domestic applications. TDB’s goal is to make the weak zone of technology development and commercialization strong in selected sector by supporting technology development in the industry with short-, medium- and long-term risk horizon. | ||
| Background of call for proposal | Metal/Ceramic 3D printing is one such market that has benefitted significantly from the growing necessity of rapid prototyping and advanced manufacturing practices. The industry is poised to witness unprecedented growth over the forecast period owing to the rising application of additive manufacturing in various industry verticals. Increasing adoption of metal/ceramic 3D printers for designing and prototyping products and objects coupled with the reduced manufacturing expenditure and accuracy in the end-product is a key growth proliferating factor. The market is poised to witness high demand arising prominently from the healthcare, automotive, and aerospace & defense sectors. The development of printers that are compatible with metals and ceramics along with growing investments in 3D Printing are some of the key opportunities in the global 3D Printed product market. In addition, the increased public-private partnership and the increased demand for 3D Printed product in emerging nations are further estimated to enhance the market growth. 3D printing metals or ceramics is the type of process of forming metal/ceramic parts/products, under computer control to produce a 3D model of the scanned object. The objects can be of different shapes and sizes and are created through the help of 3D imaging and scanning. The ceramics used for 3D printing are versatile in nature and have a high amount of heat resistance capable of withstanding high temperatures of more than 1700 Celsius or 3000 Fahrenheit. India metal/ceramic 3D printing market is expected to account for a significant revenue share in the global metal/ceramic 3D printing market. India metal/ceramic 3D printing market benefits from a vibrant ecosystem of startups and research institutions focused on developing innovative technologies and applications. These entities contribute to the diversification and expansion of the metal/ceramic additive manufacturing market in India, particularly in industries such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods. | ||
| The Call for Proposal | Aligning with the national requirement and focus in the Metal and Ceramic Additive Manufacturing sector, Technology Development Board (TDB) issue a ‘Call for Proposal’ inviting applications from Indian companies having innovative/indigenous technologies at commercialization stage in this emerging sector. This CFP’s aim is to promote growth of Metal and Ceramic 3D printing ecosystem in India, which can support India’s manufacturing sector form medical implants to defense and aerospace parts. | ||
