India Metal Additive Manufacturing Market Trends:

Increasing Adoption of Metal Additive Manufacturing in Aerospace and Defense

Rapidly increasing demand for metal based additive manufacturing (AM) and cutting back of custom airplane structural requirements has been seen in India’s aero and defense systems sector. The local self-sufficient economy concept, entitled as Policy of the State "Atmanirbhar Bharat", forces the contraction of production at the place of consumption, military and aerospace sectors as well as the integrated use of technological innovations such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and electron beam powder bed fusion (DED). Such companies as Halkul Aeronautics Meta Corporation (HAL), Bharat Forge and The Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) are developing metal am parts, for example for aircraft engines, missiles or other structures, in the manufacturing industry. Incorporation of such technologies even in traditional parts, as relative to the classical techniques enables enhancing more performance and reducing the material consumed. Furthermore, both Boeing and Airbus, leading world companies, are joining efforts with Indian manufacturers in creating composite structures for light aircrafts’ bodies and maintenance parts using AM. For instance, in February 2025, DRDO and IIT Hyderabad unveiled a Large Area Additive Manufacturing (LAAM) system, advancing India's aerospace and defense sectors by enabling large-scale metal component production through additive manufacturing. The adoption of high-performance metal powders, including titanium, aluminum, and nickel-based superalloys, is further driving innovation in the sector. As India strengthens its indigenous defense capabilities, metal additive manufacturing is expected to play a crucial role in achieving self-sufficiency in critical aerospace and defense applications.

Growing Adoption in Medical and Dental Implants

The Indian healthcare industry is increasingly integrating metal additive manufacturing for customized medical implants and prosthetics, driven by the demand for patient-specific solutions and advancements in biocompatible materials. Orthopedic implants, cranial plates, and dental prosthetics are among the key applications benefiting from metal AM’s precision and design flexibility. Medical device manufacturers are leveraging titanium and cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys to produce high-strength, corrosion-resistant implants tailored to individual patient anatomies. The ability of AM to manufacture porous structures that promote better osseointegration is making it a preferred choice for orthopedic applications. Leading Indian healthcare institutions and research centers are collaborating with AM technology providers like Wipro 3D and Objectify Technologies to advance metal AM-based medical devices. For instance, in June 2024, Wipro 3D and Nikon SLM Solutions announced partnership to advance additive manufacturing in India, combining Wipro 3D’s expertise with Nikon’s selective laser melting technology to enhance manufacturing across multiple industries. Furthermore, the adoption of regulatory frameworks for 3D-printed medical devices is fostering confidence in AM-produced implants. With India’s aging population and increasing healthcare expenditures, the demand for customized, high-quality implants is expected to surge. Metal additive manufacturing is set to revolutionize the medical and dental industries, offering cost-effective, patient-specific solutions that improve clinical outcomes and accessibility in the Indian healthcare ecosystem.
