At the National Maritime Defence Dialogue โ Sagar Sankalp: Reclaiming Indiaโs Maritime Glory, held on March 6, 2026 at ITC Royal Bengal, Kolkata, the Technology Innovation Hub (IIT Guwahati), proudly demonstrated a breakthrough in additive manufacturing for maritime applications.
In the esteemed presence of Honโble Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, TIH showcased a 500 mm long aerofoil-shaped helical turbine blade with a 90ยฐ twist angle, a highly complex geometry that highlights the power of advanced manufacturing.
Why this innovation matters:
- Conventional machining of such a component would result in nearly 320 kg of material loss
- Using additive manufacturing, the blade was fabricated with minimal waste
- The design incorporates a hollow internal structure, significantly reducing weight while improving efficiency and performance
- This innovation reflects how next-generation manufacturing technologies can drive sustainability, cost efficiency, and high-performance solutions in the maritime and defence sectors.
As India moves towards strengthening its maritime capabilities, such advancements reaffirm TIH IIT Guwahatiโs commitment to indigenous innovation and technological excellence.
