Even a low-resolution, entry-level 3D printer still costs a huge amount of money today - you'll easily spend around a lakh to buy one - but that hasn't stopped people from getting excited by the idea of 3D printing in India. While affordable consumer 3D printers are still some way into the future, commercial 3D printing has been accessible for over a decade now.
Prasad Rodagi, Founder and Director of Altem Technologies, a Bangalore-based company that has been a distributor for Stratasys since 2010, tells us that he has been working in 3D printing since 1998.
"At that time, the patents were starting to expire, and the costs started to come down a lot," he says. "We started working with the technology, and very quickly, it found use in a number of different industries. Today, in India, we're using it in aeronautics, consumer electronics, medical and defence fields."
