3Ding Careers & Recruitment

Corporate Overview & History

3Ding (stylised as 3Ding) was founded in 2015 by a group of engineers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) who wanted to democratise access to high‑quality additive manufacturing. Starting as a small prototyping studio in Koramangala, Bangalore, the company quickly expanded its service portfolio to include 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting and end‑to‑end product development. By 2018 3Ding launched an online self‑service portal that allowed customers across India and overseas to upload CAD files, get instant quotes and receive printed parts within days. Today, 3Ding operates four major manufacturing hubs in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai, serving automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, medical devices and education sectors. The core mission is “to turn ideas into tangible products faster, cheaper and with zero barriers”.
