Hyderabad-based T-Works, an initiative of the Telangana Government and India’s largest prototyping centre, has recently collaborated with Vasantha Group to get precision digital cutting equipment worth INR2 crore for T-Works via its CSR financing scheme.
The Swiss-made Zund precision digital cutter can process and cut over 200 materials, including aramid fibre to rigid substrates like aluminium, wood, acrylic, ACP and other materials like paper, plastics, and paperboards, as well as composite fabric materials such as glass fibre, carbon fibre, other substrates such as MDF, wood, acrylic. This computerised cutter can also handle high-performance materials like carbon fibre sheets, employed in lightweight constructions ranging from Formula One racing to drone components.
“We envision Telangana and India as a favourable destination for hardware product design. The Zund digital cutter is part of our bigger plans to expand the prototyping capabilities by providing access to this sophisticated equipment which is usually captive and only accessible to big companies. This enables startups, MSMEs, students, makers & innovators to build world-class products using advanced materials,” said Sujai Karampuri, CEO of T-Works.
“As a leader in plastics injection molding solutions, we use many precision engineering technologies extensively and understand the need for such technologies to drive innovative manufacturing,” added A Dayanand Reddy, MD of Vasantha Group.
