A state-of-the-art 3D printing facility is now operational at the Airport City that is being
developed in the BLR Airport premises. The Peekay Group in partnership with Bengaluru
Airport City Limited (BACL) inaugurated this first-of-its-kind facility, that
focuses on engineering, design and collaboration.
"We are excited to inaugurate this state-of-the-art 3D printing facility at our
Airport City and partner with the Peekay Group. This facility will act as a
catalyst to help transform our Airport City into a technology hub. From
healthcare to sustainable construction and aerospace, 3D printing helps develop
a culture of creativity and scope for scaling innovation across industries.
This technology will further help consolidate Bengaluru’s strategic position as
a knowledge-based economy, and as the Silicon Valley of India. A technology hub
coupled with upcoming world-class retail, dining, and entertainment facilities
will make our Airport City a truly global destination,” says Rao Munukutla,
CEO, BACL.
The facility houses a production centre and an experience zone that will train
individuals and students in 3D printing. It will also be an incubation centre
for those who want to ideate innovative solutions. One of the aims of this new
set-up is to increase awareness about 3D printing applications and to train
technology experts who want to upgrade their skill.
“With our vast experience and the trust for quality, delivery and cost which we have
built over the last few decades, we are confident that Peekay can contribute
immensely towards skill development, design-based thinking, and optimisation of
products for customer benefit. Over and above this, we intend to tie up with world-renowned
universities to embark on various training programs and symposiums to nurture
the enthusiasm and creativity in today’s youth by utilising design-based
reasoning as a foundation to synchronise all manufacturing processes,” says
