IIT Indore Licenses Micro-3D Printing Tech to VFUse Metal
IIT Indore has given its special 3D printing technology to a company called VFUse Metal.
This new printer can make very tiny objects with high accuracy using a special material.
It's like a super precise machine that can build things for small electronics, medical tools, and wearable gadgets.
This tech came from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Indore, and is meant to help industries build cool new things.
This partnership shows how the research done at the university can be used to make new products.
IIT Indore licensed micro-additive manufacturing tech to VFUse Metal.
The technology is called “Laser Decal Transfer (LDT) based µ-3D Printer.”
It enables precise micro 3D printing using thin-film feedstock.
The printer is for micro-electronics, biomedical devices, and sensors.
IIT Indore aims to bridge academia with industry for real-world impact.
