WOL3D marks 10 years, expands 3D printing portfolio

WOL3D India Limited has marked its 10th anniversary with the launch of five 3D printing products in collaboration with Creality, while outlining plans to expand consumer adoption, strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities and build a wider ecosystem for additive manufacturing in India.

The launches took place at The Legacy Gala, which brought together entrepreneurs, creators and industry stakeholders to mark the company’s decade-long journey. The new products include the Creality K3 multi-colour 3D printer, Ender 3 V3 Mega 3D printer, Pika 3D scanner, Falcon T1 UV 5W laser engraver, and Falcon A1C 10W AI-powered laser engraver and cutter.

WOL3D, which is listed on the NSE Emerge platform, has expanded its business beyond 3D printers to include filaments, resins, scanners, laser engravers, accessories and manufacturing services. The company says it has built a community of more than 50,000 users across creators, entrepreneurs, engineers, educational institutions and businesses.

Its next phase of growth centres on making 3D printing more accessible to consumers and small businesses, while using the technology for customised products and on-demand manufacturing.

Expanding access through consumer and distributed manufacturing

Rahul Chandalia, MD and Founder, WOL3D India Limited, said the company sees distribution as central to expanding the reach of 3D printing, particularly as India remains a small part of the global market.

“Our vision is to bring 3D printing into every home, whether by enabling people to own a printer or by making products available that are manufactured using the technology. Not everyone wants to buy a machine, but many consumers are willing to buy the end product. That is why distribution will remain central to our growth strategy,” Chandalia said in an interaction with Express Computer.

He said the company is also looking to expand its 3D printing farm capacity as demand for manufacturing through distributed printer networks grows. While India’s largest printing farms are currently much smaller than those in markets such as China, WOL3D sees an opportunity to scale from farms with hundreds of printers to facilities with 500, 1,000 or even 2,000 printers.

Brahma 3D Farm is a key part of this strategy. The initiative is designed to move additive manufacturing beyond prototyping towards customised production and end-use products. Rather than relying exclusively on conventional tooling and moulds, businesses can use digital designs to manufacture products on demand, potentially making smaller production runs more viable.

Building an ecosystem of entrepreneurs and creators

Alongside its product launches, WOL3D has introduced the 100 Days, 100 Stories initiative to showcase more than 100 entrepreneurs and innovators using 3D printing to develop products, build businesses and solve practical problems.

The initiative highlights applications across customised consumer products, education, healthcare, architecture, automotive and engineering. It also reflects the company’s focus on measuring the impact of 3D printing through the businesses created and products commercialised, rather than only through hardware sales.

WOL3D said its ecosystem now spans hardware, materials, accessories, services and manufacturing capabilities. The company reports selling approximately one filament every minute, reflecting demand for the consumables used in 3D printing.

Domestic manufacturing and raw materials

Chandalia said India’s additive manufacturing ecosystem needs to develop its domestic manufacturing capabilities alongside wider adoption of 3D printers. While the government has identified 3D printing as a focus area, he believes the industry needs to strengthen its supply chain, materials ecosystem and manufacturing capacity.

WOL3D has entered filament manufacturing, producing raw material used by 3D printers, and plans to increase capacity with an eye towards exports. The company also intends to expand its presence across more Indian cities and strengthen partnerships to reduce dependence on imported products without compromising quality.

India currently accounts for a small share of the global 3D printing market, according to Chandalia, leaving room for growth in both equipment adoption and manufacturing applications.

The company’s 10-year milestone comes as it seeks to broaden the role of additive manufacturing in India, from individual creators and small businesses to distributed production networks. Its strategy combines product distribution, materials manufacturing and printing services to build a more accessible ecosystem for consumers and businesses.
