Speaking on the collaboration, Mr. Sandip Weling, Whole-time Director, Aptech Limited, said, “The partnership with WOL3D is a significant step towards building future-ready skills at scale and aligning our curriculum with emerging industry needs. Our focus is on creating scalable, employment-oriented learning solutions that will help build a dependable and industry-ready training backbone for 3D printing in India. With WOL3D, we are combining a disciplined curriculum, structured learning, certified workflows, and access to state-of-the-art technology, so learning moves quickly from screen to shop floor. The new initiative also has the opportunity to unlock the entrepreneurial aspirations of a young India, empowering them to explore creator-led ventures through the power of 3D Printing. With this partnership, we envision building a skilled and sustainable talent pipeline for studios and manufacturers.”
Adding perspective on the growing opportunity, Mr. Rahul Chandalia, Co-Founder and Director, WOL3D, shared, “At WOL3D, we believe technology has the most impact when it empowers people, and this collaboration with Aptech does exactly that. Over the years, we have seen how 3D printing has moved from a niche prototyping tool to a transformative force across industries worldwide. India is now embracing this shift at scale, backed by the government’s vision through emerging initiatives. The demand for skilled talent in this space is rising fast, and together with Aptech, we are ensuring students get the right exposure to modern technology, real-world workflows, and future-ready applications. Beyond Technical training, this program empowers learners to innovate, create, and explore entrepreneurial pathways that reflect the true spirit of a new India.”
