Voc in Polymechanic, Carpentry and Automation will be trained by Aha3D Innovations team in first phase by setting up a 3D Printing Lab at BSDU Campus · 3D Printing market in India to touch $62 million by 2022 – 6Wresearch Report · University envisages to build country’s largest 3D Printer at the Campus by its students |
The only University in India with a ‘Swiss Dual’ education system, Bhartiya Skill Development University (BSDU), Jaipur today announced MoU with India’s first 3D Printer developer and a startup company Aha3D Innovations Pvt. Ltd. Under this partnership, Aha3D Innovations is setting up 3D Printing Lab and going to train the BSDU’s students on making of 3D Printers, in its first phase. In the second phase, the MoU envisages utilization of the strength of students to manufacture the 3D Printers of various models for Indian market. In the third phase, one R&D Center on 3D printing will be set-up for the students at the BSDU Campus.
Mr. Jayant Joshi, President Trustee of BSDU says, “The Bhartiya Skill Development University (BSDU) works on a unique concept of building dual system of skills education (Swiss Dual System) where major focus remains on practical industrial training along with theory.

While we are committed in our vision and mission of skill development, MoUs with industrial partners will strengthen such contribution of BSDU to the Skill India Initiative.”
Mr. Akash, Founder of Aha3D Innovations says, “Currently the 3D printing market is very small comparing the full potential of $12 trillion manufacturing sector globally. As per the industry intelligence, the 3D printing and prototyping technology is the next big thing and it is going to disrupt the conventional market in a big way. As per a market intelligence solution firm, 6Wresearch; Indian 3D Prototyping & Materials market is projected to reach over $62 Million by 2022. Our endeavor in nurturing talent at BSDU will be utilised to serve the upcoming market demand of 3D printing nationally and globally.”
