“With technologies of Open Parameter, Open Material capabilities, Farsoon and UnionTech are open for business in India.”
3D printing in India
In recent years, 3D printing in India has been developing rapidly with the help of the technology cluster Make in India. The multimillion-dollar medical park, AP MedTech Zone, is a case in point.
As Vince Zhao, International Channel Manager at Farsoon explained, “The application of Additive Manufacturing has been developing for over decades in the Indian market. Just like the rapid economic growth in India, the demand for innovative technologies such as Additive Manufacturing is growing very fast.”
“As one of the most important market for Farsoon’s globalization strategy, I believe India has great potential and will become one of the most active market of AM.”
