Phillips Machine Tools India has announced a strategic partnership with 2OneLab to strengthen additive manufacturing capabilities across the country. This collaboration comes at a time when global manufacturing is rapidly evolving, positioning India to play a larger role in advanced production technologies and innovation-driven growth.
As part of the agreement, Phillips Machine Tools India will manufacture 2OneLab’s Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) systems at its advanced facility in Chakan, Pune. This initiative represents a significant step toward building a resilient and self-sufficient domestic supply chain for high-end manufacturing solutions.
Additive manufacturing is transforming how industries design and produce components, offering greater flexibility, shorter production cycles, and improved performance outcomes. Sectors such as aerospace, healthcare, and automotive are increasingly adopting these technologies to enhance efficiency and sustainability. Through this partnership, both companies aim to expand access to such capabilities for Indian manufacturers of all sizes.
Commenting on the collaboration, Anuj Budhiraja, Vice President – Additive at Phillips Machine Tools India, emphasized that additive manufacturing represents a fundamental shift in production thinking. He noted that localizing LPBF system manufacturing will empower Indian engineers, innovators, and enterprises to leverage advanced technology within the country, strengthening India’s global manufacturing position.
Ran, CEO of 2OneLab, highlighted India’s growing importance as a market for additive manufacturing. He stated that the partnership aligns with a shared vision to deliver advanced LPBF solutions tailored to local industry requirements. With India’s strong engineering talent and Phillips’ extensive market reach, the collaboration is expected to accelerate adoption and enable new industrial applications.
The partnership is also expected to contribute to workforce development by training new specialists in additive manufacturing, supporting indigenous product innovation, and enabling applications that were previously not feasible. As adoption increases, India could benefit from stronger supply chains, reduced reliance on imports, and the creation of high-value employment opportunities. Phillips Machine Tools India and 2OneLab aim to play a key role in advancing India’s manufacturing capabilities and reinforcing its emergence as a global hub for additive manufacturing innovation.
