Aerospace and defence manufacturing are two key critical segments earmarked for development and manufacturing growth in India now. The twin sectors which often overlap one another throw immense possibilities for breeding upstream and downstream investment prospects besides promoting innovation and growth.

The Industry 4.0 concept will be ushering in a favorable sea change in the world of manufacturing. However, for the small and mid-tier enterprises (SMEs) to make the most of its phenomenal digital opportunities, the trend requires more openness in the machine tool industry and in the user sectors involved.

With a growing strength in the manufacturing sector and the government's encouraging initiatives, India seems to be soon realizing its dream of becoming the next manufacturing destination. Being part of the EMO Hannover 2017 will help gain the much-needed exposure for us to explore contemporary trends and for the world to realize our potential.

A strong global growth of both passenger and freight air transport demand followed by strong demand for new aircraft and increasing competition between aircraft manufacturers point to a robust aerospace market in the near future, with opportunities galore for machine tool builders.

Post India's major economic reform, GST, many a foreign company is getting drawn to India for mutual trade gains. Europe's second biggest manufacturing hub, Italy has also recognized opportunities in the country's industrial sectors and is on the way to beef up the bond.

Opportunities are brimming in India's emerging aerospace and defence sectors, leading to large scale tie ups between Indian and foreign companies. Certain initiatives like IMTMA's AeroDef project have surfaced to help Indian machine tool builders better equip themselves to cater to the precise demands of the sectors and fill the gaps.

With PCD tooling, yes it can. The diamond cutting edges demand a large number of flutes to realize their full effectiveness. While traditional methods for making cutter bodies limit the number of flutes, 3D printing delivers tools with higher flute density and other enhancements as well.

Proton Beam Therapy has several advantages over traditional forms of radiation that destroy healthy human tissues. Learn about the required equipment that will help serve a large number of people desperately in need while it gets manufactured for the first time in India.

In its consistent efforts towards zero-defect, increased productivity goals, the Indian manufacturing industry is embracing smart technologies that herald an era of unprecedented benefits.

Current trends in production such as digitization, including the shift to mass personalization, lead to significant changes in manufacturing. The stages of digital transformation in the framework of the Industry 4.0 concept have a long history starting with mechatronic systems leading to cyber-physical and eventually autonomous systems to the final degree of autonomization. The traditional automation pyramid is thus dissolving.
