The challenge
Conditions on site — heat, dust, vibration and patchy connectivity — had defeated two earlier attempts at this in automotive.
What we built
A phased rollout: a measured pilot first, then scale-out. The core runs on DMLS with Moldflow-class, integrated into existing systems through Maraging steel.
Delivery timeline
Phase 1
Discovery sprint and site survey
Phase 2
Prototype built and tested in the Motera lab
Phase 3
Pilot on site with before/after measurement
Phase 4
Scale-out, training and handover
Highlights
- Designed, built and supported from Motera, Ahmedabad
- Operator training delivered in Gujarati, Hindi and English
- Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
- Before-and-after measurements agreed with the client up front
