Agnikul Cosmos, a leading private Indian space-tech startup, has commissioned the country’s first state-of-the-art additive manufacturing hub dedicated to aerospace and rocket systems. This cutting-edge facility introduces one-metre 3D printing capabilities, revolutionizing rocket manufacturing in India and positioning Agnikul as a pioneer in advanced space technology.
The new 3D printing hub for rockets provides an integrated ecosystem covering design, simulation, printing, post-processing, and finishing. This end-to-end approach not only ensures higher quality and reliability but also enhances supply chain resilience while cutting the cost of building space hardware by nearly 50%.
For the first time in India, rocket components up to one metre in height can be produced using advanced additive manufacturing. By overcoming earlier challenges in printing complex aerospace parts, Agnikul can now deliver fully finished, flight-ready rocket hardware in just a few days, significantly reducing development cycles and accelerating India’s space innovation journey.
Highlighting the company’s mission Srinath Ravichandran, Co-Founder & CEO of Agnikul Cosmos, said, “Agnikul was started with the goal of making space accessible to everyone. Building capabilities like in-house additive manufacturing helps us advance rocket production with precision, speed, and quality.”
By developing not only 3D printing capacity but also full-scale proprietary machines, Agnikul is equipping itself to deliver next-generation space transportation systems faster. This facility is a crucial step toward enabling cost-effective satellite launches, supporting India’s growing role in the global space economy.
With this achievement, Agnikul Cosmos strengthens its leadership in India’s private space-tech sector, driving innovation in rocket manufacturing, additive manufacturing, and 3D printing technology. The initiative brings India closer to achieving self-reliance in space transportation while offering global customers affordable, high-quality solutions for accessing space.
