Welcome to Smart Foundry

SMART manufacturing or Industry 4.0 leverages information & communications technologies to democratize production and make it more sustainable. India, with its large base of SMEs, human resources and IT infrastructure can adopt this paradigm to meet challenges of employability, employment and entrepreneurship. Relevant technologies like 3D CAD, process simulation, 3D printing, rapid tooling, and process data analytics can be readily applied to metal casting - the mother industry that feeds all other sectors.

Engineering and polytechnic institutes can replicate SMART system to support their theory and lab courses, and train students in smart manufacturing technologies to become job-creators instead of job-seekers. The institutes can also take up projects in collaboration with SMART Foundry team and local industry, thereby contributing to 'Make in India', 'Digital India', and 'Startup India' missions.
