“Additive Manufacturing is not just an incremental improvement - it is a complete shift in how the world thinks about manufacturing. This collaboration with 2OneLab strengthens our commitment to building India’s capabilities, competitiveness, and leadership in the global manufacturing ecosystem.” - Anuj Budhiraja, VP - Additive, Phillips Machine Tools India

March 2026 : The future of Indian manufacturing is getting a high-tech upgrade. In a move that signals a major shift toward self-reliance in the "Industry 4.0" era, Phillips Machine Tools India has teamed up with 2OneLab to bring world-class additive manufacturing capabilities directly to Indian soil. This isn't just a corporate handshake; it’s a commitment to making India a global powerhouse in 3D printing.

At the heart of this deal is a plan to produce 2OneLab’s Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) systems at Phillips’ state-of-the-art facility in Chakan, Pune. By localizing the production of these complex machines, the partnership aims to slash import dependencies and provide Indian engineers with the tools they need to innovate faster than ever.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is no longer a niche hobby - it is the backbone of modern aerospace, healthcare, and automotive engineering. By allowing for "impossible" designs and sustainable production, AM is rewriting the rulebook of factory floors. This partnership ensures that these benefits aren't just reserved for global giants, but are accessible to Indian manufacturers of all sizes.

Mr. Anuj Budhiraja, VP - Additive from Phillips Machine Tools India, emphasized the weight of this shift: “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. This collaboration with 2OneLab strengthens our commitment to building India’s capabilities, competitiveness, and leadership in the global manufacturing ecosystem.”

For 2OneLab, a company renowned for its precision in the dental sector, this is a strategic entry into one of the world's most dynamic markets. Mr. Ran, CEO of 2OneLab, added: “India is emerging as a high-potential market for Additive Manufacturing, and 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.”

As the Chakan plant begins rolling out these systems, the impact will be felt far beyond the factory walls - creating high-tech jobs, fostering indigenous talent, and solidifying India’s reputation as a hub for cutting-edge innovation.
