Godrej Enterprises Group collaborates with EOS to Advance 3D printing capabilities for Aerospace Manufacturing in India

Mumbai, 02 April 2025: The Aerospace business of Godrej Enterprises Group, is strengthening its commitment to India's self-reliance vision through signing of a significant Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the EOS, a global leader in industrial 3D printing solutions, to develop a state-of-the-art Additive Manufacturing (AM)-based manufacturing ecosystem focused on the Indian aviation and space industries. This collaboration represents a critical step in India's technological evolution, enabling the transformation of complex manufacturing processes and positioning the country as a global leader in aerospace innovation.

The partnership aims to transform the aviation and space industry in India through AM-driven design and delivery of functionally enhanced products. With EOS possessing the largest AM global install-base in the space technology industry, the collaboration brings together a powerful combination of technological expertise and manufacturing capabilities. Together, Godrej Enterprises Group and EOS will build the technical capabilities and production capacities required to establish a robust AM-based aviation and space supply chain to serve both Indian and global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). 

Maneck Behramkamdin, Executive Vice President and Business Head, Aerospace business of Godrej & Boyce, a part of Godrej Enterprises Group, said, “This partnership represents a strategic step towards future readiness. 3D printing is driving a paradigm shift in aerospace design, enabling us to create complex shapes and sizes through single printing process. We are committed to expanding our portfolio of 'Green' products while improving manufacturing value through material efficiency and streamlined processes.”

“AM has brought about an undeniable transformation of the space industry,” said Vinu Vijayan, Director EOS India. “We are already seeing examples of conventionally manufactured assemblies consisting of more than 100 parts being simplified via AM into a mere 3 or 4 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.”

This partnership is particularly significant given India's remarkable progress in space technology. Since its first launch in 1963, India has achieved ground-breaking milestones, including reaching Mars' orbit on the first attempt, being the first to soft land on the Moon's south-pole, and recently completing its 100th launch. Godrej has been at the forefront of advancing India's aerospace ambitions, executing critical assembly processes for cryo-engine assemblies and satellite thrusters that have powered all of India's space projects.
