EOS Partners with Godrej Enterprises to Advance AM in India

EOS, supplier of manufacturing solutions for industrial 3D printing, and the aerospace business of Godrej Enterprises Group, announce a strategic partnership to develop an additive manufacturing (AM)-based partnership focused on the Indian aviation and space industries. The announcement was made during an memorandum of understanding signing ceremony at Aeroindia 2025.

With a global AM install base in the space technology industry, EOS has partnered with space organizations providing serial AM capabilities tailored to the industry’s requirements. The partnership aims to transform the aviation and space industry in India through AM-driven design and delivery of functionally enhanced products, EOS reports.

Together, Godrej Enterprises Group and EOS will build the technical capabilities and production capacities required to establish an AM-based aviation and space supply chain to serve Indian and global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). As a first step, the partners will pursue the application of large-scale multi-laser AM technology for production.

“This partnership represents a strategic step towards future readiness,” says Maneck Behramkamdin, executive vice president and business head of  the aerospace business of Godrej & Boyce, a part of Godrej Enterprises Group. “3D printing is driving a paradigm shift in aerospace design, enabling us to create complex shapes and sizes through a single printing process."

The Aerospace business of Godrej Enterprises Group has been helping to advance India's aerospace ambitions. At their manufacturing facilities for cryo-engine assemblies and satellite thrusters, G&B executes assembly processes that have powered certain Indian space projects.

 “AM has brought about an undeniable transformation of the space industry,” says Vinu Vijayan, director of EOS India. “We are already seeing examples of conventionally manufactured assemblies consisting of more than 100 parts being simplified via AM into a mere three or four parts for ease of assembly, manufactured as needed, and resulting in reduced complexity and costs. We have also succeeded in developing and certifying the first flight-safety-critical, Class 2 titanium part for a passenger aircraft—the highest level of qualifications for aerospace.”

EOS views India as a significant manufacturing hub and is focused on bringing its experience and competency to facilitate India’s space ambitions. The EOS/ Godrej Enterprises Group MOU is a strategic step towards implementing AM in the Indian aviation and space industry and helps Godrej—as its AM technology enablement partner—ensure readiness for current and upcoming novel programs.

Dr. Ankit Saharan, director metals technology of global Additive Minds, adds: “This is such a natural partnership and ultimately marks a significant milestone in the advancement of AM in India. Now we move forward, working closely with Godrej and our Additive Minds applied engineering team to qualify production that meets the stringent quality requirements of space and aviation applications, while also playing a pivotal role in building the next generation workforce in additive manufacturing—an essential factor in the success of the Government of India’s Make in India initiative.”
