Last year the government launched various incentive schemes to bring investment into the electronic manufacturing sector – one such initiative was the Modifies Special Incentive Package Scheme (M- SIPS). The government is now looking beyond smartphone manufacturing and has been seeking inputs from the industry in areas like the best way to implement MSIP, capital subsidy and some relief measures on central taxes and duties. The priority accorded to electronics hardware manufacturing is a positive indicator and a catalyst for both “Make in India” and “Digital India” initiatives.
Union Budget 2020-21 is around the corner – the industry hopes for a budget that will help the manufacturing Industry gain momentum in the coming years. If India has to achieve the magical goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy, the manufacturing sector will have to contribute in a big way.
At DMI, we have several exciting projects and initiatives lined up for this year – one of which is the Editor’s Choice Award where we will highlight the case studies and the work of industry leaders that could help inspire innovation and growth. We have also launched our second news portal www.sheetmetalindustry.online focused on the metal forming sector .

Growth will Pick Up This Year
Siddhu Jolad, MD Radcam Technologies shares his perspective on the industry and his company’s vision
RadCAM Technologies, is one of India's leading machinery, software service provider and consulting companies. Radcam is a Prime Partner of Euromac, Italy which is a well known worldwide supplier of machines for sheet metal working, such as CNC punching, bending and notching machines. Siddhu Jolad, MD Radcam Technologies shares his perspective.
Top demand drivers for the company and the Indian metal forming industry
Automotive ancillary, electrical and electronics, power generation and construction industry can be largely identified as the most relevant industries which are huge users of formed sheet metal products. This consumption can vary from as small as an electrical DP box to as big as airport interiors.
Top tech growth drivers
As I always say, laser has emerged as the technology of the future and has been adopted widely, but there are many things which cannot be done on laser alone. When you say ‘metal forming’, [you must know that] laser could do only cutting – metal forming has always been done on the conventional presses or CNC punching machines and bending machines and it will always be that way. Future technologies can be IOT driven towards industry 4.0 or even 5.0 where you will be working with further advanced machineries and robots.
How India’s manufacturing industry will fare in the face of a subdued growth
The growth has been subdued, as you said, but it has to – and it will – pick up early this year. The government will be forced to take some steps towards strengthening of market sentiments and also to start the projects which have been put on hold in between for some reason. A number of infrastructure projects that should come up in the next few years, from new airports to new metro [rapid transit] in tier-2 cities. This will happen eventually.
Focus areas for 2020
We will be serving the forming industry right from the point of material procurement till the loading of the assembled products. We have a range of products including coil processing machineries which reduce the cost of material being consumed and process those sheets on a laser or punching machine in the best possible way. We also support this with best-in-class press brakes and laser wending machines.
Vision 2020
We have maintained a sharp focus on providing the best ways to cut and form components on a machine. Now the next step is to cut costs on peripheral things to meet market expectations, hence the focus on coil processing and finishing machines.

Empowering A Million SMEs with 3D Printing
advancements in 3D Printing and the offerings that his company will showcase at IMTEX
FORMING 2020. Find Divide By Zero Technologies at Hall 2A, Booth E104 at the show.
Today, as we accelerate our progress with technology, there's one achievement that has marked the dawn of a new industrial revolution. This new industrial revolution is almost similar to the one that lasted over a century, from 1760 to 1840.
Today's world isn't just a pre-programmed machine running at codes set by universities and society. The world is now smart, creative and efficient in every possible, imaginable way. So, as an entrepreneur, do you find your business and ideas adapting to this ever increasing competitive market? Not sure of the answer, right? You're in good company, as the answer can never be yes.
With that quick introduction, let's explore more of this new-age technology a.k.a Additive Manufacturing, also popularly known as 3D Printing, a technology that took root in the 1980s.
Additive manufacturing’s engineering and cutting-edge technological advancements in niche applications have attracted eyeballs the world over. Additive manufacturing or 3D Printing has leaped miles ahead of the conventional subtractive manufacturing industry – the latter being an industry where almost all SMEs succumb to a huge consumption of resources, mainly in terms of manpower and cash flow.
Key Highlight: Divide By Zero is elated to announce groundbreaking applications of additive manufacturing in following four major areas: • Press Brake Tooling • Jigs & Fixtures • Vacuum Forming • Casting SWAPNIL SANSARE Founder CEO, Divide By Zero Technologies
3d Printing: A brief overview
3D printing is a technology based on an additive manufacturing process which transforms digital information into a physical reality. The additive manufacturing industry works on the basic principle of creating physical objects by depositing successive layers of materials in accordance with pre-designed 3D models. The manufactured product comprises layers, wherein each could be considered as a thinlysliced horizontal cross-section of the final object.
Divide By Zero's Vision 2030
We are a small and nimble team of highly energetic folks working towards enabling a solutiondriven society. Our aim is to identify challenges and address them in an efficient and timely manner. We at Divide By Zero Technologies believe in empowering a million SMEs with application-driven technology and become their enablers for happiness and prosperity.
The Ideation
Last year at IMTEX 2019, South Asia's biggest metal forming exhibition, Divide By Zero Technologies introduced and launched an advanced and high-performance industrial 3D printer, called AION500MK3. Things changed with the launch of Divide By Zero’s patented Advanced Fusion Plastic Modeling (AFPM) technology. AFPM leverages our deep expertise in 3D printing, material engineering and software development to deliver a technology that resolves all concerns in terms of strength, form, fit, and functionality. This year at IMTEX 2020, we're bringing in the transformative applications of our patented printers that will supercharge your business by saving millions.
Divide By Zero is elated to announce groundbreaking applications of additive manufacturing in following four major areas: • Press Brake Tooling • Jigs & Fixtures • Vacuum Forming • Casting
How our patented 3D printers will help you in business o Let’s say your sales team just received a new RFQ for a large number of customized small quantity orders. The client sends you the design and you are left with non-standard tooling. What will you do? Metal tooling for a contract you might not receive? Let the order pass by and wait for large quantity orders? Obviously, it's a big loss, right? Simple answer - opt for in-house 3D printing. It will save you millions apart from saving time and manpower resources. o How about printing custom tools that perfectly match your clients requirements instead of investing in manufacturing custom metal tooling that is obviously temporary and might mangle a perfectly working tool and strip it of its full potential? o You're running a food container business. One of your clients asked for immediate functional prototype to test and evaluate. What will you do? Outsource the deal keeping a commission, build a tooling for days or just let the order pass by? In-house Vacuum Forming is all you need to close these deals. o Let go of hindrances that you face in conventional metal casting industries such as Gas Porosity, Shrinkages, Run-Out, Swelling and Warping. 3D printed casts is your solution. Come and watch the magic unfolding. o Get your prototype parts printed in mere hours and save you millions even in low-volume orders. We at Divide By Zero Technologies keep pace with advancements in science and technology. To illustrate, we are introducing a brand new AFS (Active Filadry System) that solves 3D printing filament issues such as moisture absorption and active air ventilation. AFS helps increase the lifespan of 3D printers.
We're excited to launch innovative 3D printing applications in Casting Patterns, Jigs & Fixtures, Press Brake Tooling and Vacuum Forming at South Asia's Biggest Metal Forming Exhibition, IMTEX 2020.
