If you work in Sangli, Miraj or one of the MIDC estates, you have probably had this problem: a plastic part breaks on a machine, the original supplier is in Pune or Gujarat, and the replacement takes weeks. Or you have a new product idea and the nearest place that can print a proper prototype seemed to be a courier ride away.
AURO3D is in Sangli. Our factory at Kanadwadi, Savali has 12 FDM 3D printers, 2 resin printers and a 250-tonne injection moulding press. You can drive over with a sample in the morning, discuss it with the engineer who will make it, and decide the next step the same day.
What Sangli and Miraj buyers usually ask us for
The Sangli–Miraj–Kupwad belt is a mix of engineering units, foundries, agri-processing, and a growing number of small electronics and product businesses. The jobs we see from this area fall into a few groups:
- Replacement plastic parts for machines on the shop floor: knobs, covers, guards, spacers, chain guides, sensor brackets. Often the original is discontinued or the supplier is unresponsive.
- Foundry patterns for small runs. Kupwad and Miraj MIDC have foundries and machine shops, and a 3D-printed pattern is a faster route to a first casting than a hand-made wooden one. See casting patterns.
- Enclosures for control panels and electronics, from one prototype box to a batch for a customer order.
- Agri and food-processing parts: guides, chutes, clips and fittings for grading, packing and irrigation equipment. Turmeric, raisin and sugar processing all use small plastic components that wear out.
- Models and demonstrators for college projects and exhibitions, from students at engineering colleges in and around the city.
Which process fits your Sangli job
| You need | Best process | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1–50 functional parts, quickly | FDM printing (PLA, PETG, ABS, Nylon) | No tooling, low cost per part |
| Fine detail, smooth surface, small part | Resin printing (DLP, called SLA) | 0.05 mm layers, build plate 219 × 123 mm |
| A pattern for a sand or investment casting | FDM or castable resin | Faster than a hand-made pattern for complex shapes |
| Hundreds to thousands of identical parts | Injection moulding (PP, HDPE, ABS) | Mould cost is spread over volume |
If you are not sure, send the drawing or a photo and tell us the quantity. We will suggest the cheapest process that works, even if it is not the one you expected.
Free pickup and walk-in visits
For customers inside Sangli and Miraj, the simplest arrangement is pickup from the factory, which is free. Coming in person also helps, because it is easier to agree on fit and finish with the part in hand.
Visiting is also the fastest way to start a reverse-engineering job. Bring the worn part, a mating part if you have one, and any drawing. Our mechanical designer can measure it, and we print a test piece for you to try on the machine before making the full quantity.
Call or WhatsApp +91 93568 71008 before you come. The factory is near the Ultratech RMC plant at Kanadwadi, Savali.
Moulding in Sangli, without going to Pune
Many Sangli businesses buy moulded parts from Pune, Mumbai or Rajkot because they did not know a local option existed. Our 250-tonne Haitian MA 2500 press runs PP, HDPE and ABS, and moulds are designed and built through us.
The advantage of a local moulder is not only freight. You can approve first-off samples in person, raise a problem with the person who ran the job, and keep your mould in a factory you can visit. We print the part first so you can check fit before any steel is cut. We quote every mould individually after a free DFM check. The break-even guide shows when a mould is worth it.
How ordering works for local customers
- Send the file or bring the part. STL or STEP is best; a drawing, photo with dimensions or a physical sample also works.
- Get a quote. You receive a written quote with material, quantity and price, GST shown separately at 18%. Quotes are valid for 7 days.
- Confirm with 50% advance. The balance is paid before dispatch or pickup.
- Collect or receive. Pick up free from Savali, or ask for delivery.
Your files are used only to quote and make your part, and we sign an NDA on request. The full process is on how ordering works.
Next step
Send your STL, STEP, drawing or a photo of the part on WhatsApp at +91 93568 71008, with the quantity and material if you know it. If it is easier, just drive over with the sample. We are a short drive from most of Sangli, Miraj and the MIDC estates.
