Overview

• Agnikul says the integrated additive manufacturing site can 3D print aerospace and rocket components up to one metre in height.
• The company reports it can now produce metre-class engines delivering seven times the thrust of earlier designs and manufacture them in days in-house.
• An indigenously designed de-powdering machine is part of the post-processing line to ensure space-grade finishes and reduce external dependencies.
• Executives say Agnikul is developing full-scale additive machines in-house to gain tighter control over quality and processes after previously sourcing equipment from abroad.
• Located in Taramani across 10,000 square feet, the plant is intended to accelerate Agnibaan launch readiness; the IIT Madras–incubated startup cites a prior sub-orbital Agnibaan SOrTeD launch and $45 million raised to date.
