The infrastructure behind India’s space race.

The platform

KRITTVA DNA is building India’s fully integrated, aerospace-grade metal additive manufacturing platform. It will engineer, qualify, print, inspect and deliver flight-critical parts under one certified roof, for the space, defence, aerospace and medical programmes the nation depends on.

Additive does what the others can’t.

How the three methods of making a metal part compare
	Subtractive	Formative	Additive
How the part is made	Cut from a solid billet	Shaped by force or mould	Built layer by layer
What follows for the part	High material waste. Cannot make internal channels or lattices.	Heavy tooling cost, long lead times. Design locked.	Internal channels, lattices, part consolidation. No tooling.

Additive demands post-processing and certification. Most stall at that barrier. This platform is built to clear it.

One certified roof, from powder to qualified part.

In India today, printing, heat treatment, precision machining and inspection sit with separate vendors, and qualification stalls in the gaps.

Engineer

We design each part for the process, then fix how it builds, so every reorder builds the same way.

Qualify

Each printer is qualified before it builds a customer part, and each part passes first-article inspection to AS9100D and to your own standard.

Printer · Year 1First article · Year 2
Produce

Ring-beam lasers print titanium and nickel superalloy, with heat treatment and wire EDM in house from Year 1 and five-axis machining from Year 4. A validated vendor runs hot isostatic pressing, in the same quality flow.

Inspect

3D scanning starts in Year 1 and CMM and penetrant NDT in Year 4, while accredited partner laboratories run CT wherever a part’s internal passages need it.

Deliver

Certified parts ship from Year 2, each with a single record from powder lot to final inspection.

One record per part

One quality system. One record per part.

Sectors

Certification is the product.

Anyone can buy a printer. Earning the approvals that let a part fly, and keeping them audit after audit, is the discipline this company is built around. The plan puts all seven in seat by Year 5.

The founder

Our founder has run AS9100 aerospace production and ISO 13485 implant manufacturing in the United States, and led a printed titanium implant through FDA clearance.

A decade of building, validating and certifying metal AM, with three operations built from scratch.
