Design digitally. Build physically.

Vega Helmets · Vega Aviations · NIT Surathkal
This centre is built on one conviction that the future of manufacturing belongs to those who can design for it digitally and build it physically.
Students work with FDM 3D printers from Creality, Aha, and Stratasys, a Zeiss Comet 3D scanner for reverse engineering physical parts into digital models, and an ultrasonic welding machine for joining printed components.
Past projects span prosthetic components, aerospace parts, robotic systems, and MSME product development. The centre has produced 10 journal publications, won awards at IMTEX and KSCST, and provides consultancy to companies including Vega Helmets and Vega Aviations.
Key focus: 3D printing, reverse engineering, product development, MSME consultancy Notable collaborators: Vega Helmets, Vega Aviations, NIT Surathkal
