The defence industry is among the earliest adopters of Additive Manufacturing along with the Aerospace industry, in a myriad of applications State run defence agencies and private defence organizations are using AM in highly critical projects for missiles, fighter jets, customized equipment, handheld weapons, drones, respiratory gear, and much more. The defence logistics and product acquisition Th processes are already in the process of transformation with the help of relatively small and tactical AM centers deployed in army, naval and air force establishments. Perhaps the most impactful application of AM could be portable in-field AM centers deployed near conflict zones.
About the Project
AM Competencies Used
Additive Design & Engineering
Working closely with the defence scientists, a monolith design was arrived at, that would not only improve the functional performance but allow for a mainstream production of ma the component using Metal AM, with defensible cost-benefit analysis.
Build Technology
Necessary process parameters have been optimized to make the process capable of delivering cost effective production.
AM Value Addition
Improved Performance
Rapid Iterations
Two iterations were completed in quick succession to check critical sections of the part. Wipro 3D shall soon be moving into short series run for the component
Time-to-realize
The Antennae were Additively Manufactured, duly post processed and delivered in under a week.
Other Case Studies
Closed Impeller
Additive Manufacturing is reaching outer space. With increased effectiveness and maturity of space programs all over the world, leaders in the space community, are innovating, developing and iterating on multiple frontiers that lead to faster and cheaper deployment of payloads . The Wipro 3D has re-engineered, developed, and proved out flight-ready components in short “re-design to realize” lifecycles to meet such requirements.
Private space enterprises, state-run-space organizations, and other members of the space industrial ecosystems are replacing existing and conventional geometries, with designs using the freedom of design that Additive Manufacturing brings, leading to significant impact on performance. Components such as antennae, wave guides, brackets, thrusters, main oxidizer valves, combustion br chamber liners, and propellant injectors, are either in the prototyping stage or are actually flying.

Additive Manufacturing is reaching outer space. Where every gram counts, in an environment with extreme cyclic temperature variations and harsh forces during the launch, the functional life of components is a critical part of design considerations.

High Pressure Compressor Stator
The Aerospace industry has been at the forefront of adapting Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) and some of the most evolved applications of metal AM can be found in the aerospace sector. Leading OEMs, tier 1 suppliers, and key ecosystem players are in the phase of developing mature capabilities in metal AM.
Typical value contribution from Metal Additive T Manufacturing comes in form of weight reduction, reduction in sub-assembled parts by creating monolithic designs, ability to realize complex designs and drastic reduction in lead time to realize components.
