Telangana to be a powerhouse for additive manufacturing: KTR

Hyderabad: IT and Industries minister KT Rama Rao on Friday stated that Telangana will ensure quick approvals for additive manufacturing (AM) solutions developed here and treat startups as partners rather than just as service providers.
Speaking at the opening of the Additive Manufacturing Technology (AMTECH) expo in Hyderabad, he stated that Telangana would quickly become a centre for additive manufacturing, which uses 3D printing to create tools and other useful components.
Additionally, he stated that Telangana would support technological advancements to ensure that they were built in India for the world.
He added that a 3D-printed engine had been utilised in the nation’s first private rocket, which was just launched by city-based Skyroot Aerospace.
In the fields of aerospace, defence, and medical equipment, 3D printing will be widely used. These three ecosystems are present in Hyderabad, which can be advantageous to the sector. In a few years, the industry is expected to grow to USD 65 billion.
