Agnikul Cosmos Launches 3D Printing Facility

AgniKul Cosmos, a space technology startup incubated at IIT Madras, has commissioned India's first private large-format additive manufacturing facility for aerospace and rocket systems in Chennai. This state-of-the-art facility integrates design, simulation, printing, post-processing, and finishing, enabling faster production of complex custom designs with reduced waste and a nearly 50% reduction in production costs. The facility allows for 3D printing of aerospace and rocket components up to one meter in height, including single-piece 3D-printed rocket engines for which AgniKul Cosmos holds a US patent. This innovation is set to accelerate AgniKul Cosmos's launch readiness and bolster India's self-sustaining and globally competitive space industry. The company has raised $45 million from investors including Celesta Capital, Rocketship.vc, Artha Venture Fund, Artha Select Fund, Mayfield (company), SE Ventures, and Speciale Invest.
