The Large Area Additive Manufacturing (LAAM) system was developed at the DRDO-Industry-Academia Centre of Excellence (DIA-CoE) at IIT Hyderabad. This collaboration between IIT Hyderabad, DRDO’s Defence Research & Development Laboratory (DRDL), and industry partners aims to revolutionize manufacturing in the aerospace and defence sectors. The LAAM system, capable of fabricating large metal components, provides India with a major technological breakthrough in advanced manufacturing. This system uses laser and blown-powder technology, enabling the production of complex and large-scale parts essential for defence and aerospace applications.
