Phillips Machine Tools India Private Limited announced a strategic partnership with 2OneLab to manufacture Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) systems at its facility in Chakan, Pune. The partnership is intended to support the development of a domestic supply chain for advanced manufacturing technologies and expand access to additive manufacturing solutions across industries in India.
“Additive Manufacturing is not just an incremental improvement—it is a complete shift in how the world thinks about manufacturing. By bringing LPBF manufacturing to India, we are enabling Indian innovators, engineers, and enterprises to harness world-class technology locally,” said Anuj Budhiraja, Vice President – Additive, Phillips Machine Tools India.
“Our partnership with Phillips reflects our shared vision of making advanced LPBF systems more accessible and more aligned with local industry needs. We believe that India’s growing engineering talent, combined with Phillips’ deep market presence and manufacturing expertise, will accelerate AM adoption and spark new breakthroughs across sectors,” said Ran Reznik, Chief Executive Officer of 2OneLab.
The initiative, supported by the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing (NCAM), is aimed at localising production of metal additive manufacturing equipment and strengthening domestic capabilities in advanced manufacturing.
The companies said additive manufacturing is being adopted across sectors such as aerospace, healthcare, and automotive for applications including design optimisation, reduced lead times, and production efficiency. The partnership is expected to facilitate broader adoption of these technologies among Indian manufacturers, supported by NCAM’s role in advancing additive manufacturing capabilities and ecosystem development in India.
The companies had earlier entered into a partnership in 2024 to introduce 2OneLab’s additive manufacturing systems, , including the 2Create and 2Create Plus 3D metal printers, to the Indian market and expand into additional industry segments. These systems are designed for small and medium build platforms and support cost-efficient production, high-quality output, and material change capabilities. The current development builds on that earlier collaboration by adding local manufacturing of LPBF systems in India.
Phillips Machine Tools India Private Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips Corporation, USA, and provides manufacturing equipment, applications expertise, and services to industrial and institutional customers.
