WOL3D, a listed Indian 3D printing company, has officially launched BRAHMA, India’s largest 3D printer farm, marking a transformative milestone in the country’s digital manufacturing landscape. While the facility has already started operations in May this year, officially it was launched recently.
The facility, relocated to Byculla in Mumbai, houses over 200 industrial-grade FDM and SLA 3D printers operating continuously to deliver scalable, on-demand production capabilities. This launch positions India as a significant player in global additive manufacturing whilst supporting the nation’s ambitions to become a self-reliant manufacturing hub through the Make in India initiative.
The BRAHMA facility represents a major leap forward in accessible industrial-grade 3D printing, with ambitious plans to scale operations to 1,000 printers by year-end. Currently capable of producing up to 10,000 parts weekly with capacity expected to reach 50,000 units in the near future, the farm serves startups, established businesses, and industrial clients seeking efficient, eco-friendly manufacturing solutions. With 24/7 operations, the facility can produce up to 25 parts per build plate, enabling simultaneous output of up to 5,000 prints to support everything from rapid prototyping to full-scale end-product manufacturing.
BRAHMA Facility: India’s Largest 3D Printer Farm
BRAHMA emerges at a critical juncture when Indian industries increasingly recognise the value of agility, customisation, and localised production that additive manufacturing offers. The facility operates as a fully integrated manufacturing ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between design and production, empowering creators and engineers across sectors. By combining FDM and SLA technologies under one roof, BRAHMA provides versatility across diverse manufacturing requirements whilst maintaining competitive pricing structures.
“We want to be the creator of creators. BRAHMA is a new model for Indian manufacturing, where design meets demand instantly, without tooling, moulds or long lead times. This approach directly addresses traditional manufacturing limitations by eliminating expensive tooling requirements and reducing lead times from weeks to days.”
– Rahul Chandalia, Founder and Chief Executive of WOL3D
The facility’s launch coincides with WOL3D’s broader strategic pivot towards consumer-focused manufacturing. The company has introduced Vinglits, a line of fully customisable, eco-friendly animal toys representing the first major consumer product line emerging from BRAHMA’s capabilities. This launch spans five categories including farm animals and fantasy figures, starting with 75 stock keeping units designed for both Indian and international markets.
Strategic Manufacturing Infrastructure
BRAHMA’s infrastructure represents significant investment in creating export-ready, globally competitive manufacturing solutions. The facility operates with high-capacity systems that demonstrate additive manufacturing’s viability for industrial-scale production, moving beyond traditional perceptions of 3D printing as merely a prototyping tool. This positioning addresses persistent market misconceptions whilst showcasing practical applications for industries ranging from aerospace to consumer goods.
The timing proves particularly strategic as India strengthens its position in global supply chains. BRAHMA aligns with regional industrial development initiatives, with WOL3D considering future facility locations in subsidy-backed industrial zones such as those promoted by Maharashtra government’s toy cluster policy. This expansion strategy ensures sustainable growth whilst maximising operational efficiency through government support programmes.
Chandalia plans to spin off BRAHMA as a separate subsidiary to enable sharper brand focus and streamlined valuations. “We want to keep WOL3D as the machine and materials backbone, and let BRAHMA grow as a product-first consumer brand,” he explained. This structural approach maintains the company’s core technology and distribution business whilst allowing the manufacturing division to pursue aggressive consumer market penetration.
WOL3D Scaling Operations
The expansion of India’s largest 3D printer farm from an initial 40 printers to over 200 units demonstrates both market validation and WOL3D’s commitment to scaling operations rapidly. This growth trajectory reflects increasing demand from diverse sectors requiring flexible manufacturing solutions that traditional methods cannot efficiently address. The facility showcases mass customisation capabilities, proving that 3D printing extends beyond prototyping into viable production manufacturing.
WOL3D’s journey from importing six machines in 2017 to operating nine experience centres nationwide and supplying organisations including DRDO, ISRO, and over 7,000 schools illustrates the company’s evolution into a comprehensive ecosystem provider. Listed on NSE Emerge in September 2023 after raising ₹19 crore, the company closed FY25 with ₹49.3 crore in revenue and ₹5.59 crore in net profit, establishing financial credibility alongside operational capabilities.
The BRAHMA facility serves as a physical demonstration of 3D printing’s industrial viability, addressing scepticism through tangible results. By showcasing continuous high-volume production, the facility builds confidence amongst potential clients whilst establishing benchmarks for India’s additive manufacturing sector.
