3D Printing Startup Supercraft3D Raises $1 Mn From Flipkart’s Binny Bansal, Others

Flipkart founder Binny Bansal, has reportedly invested in a 3D Printing startup Supercraft3D, pouring in $1 Mn (INR 6.6 Cr) into the company. Four other undisclosed angel investors also participated in the funding round. This is Flipkart’s fifth investment in the healthcare space.

The Singapore-headquartered company was founded in 2016 by Maltesh SomasekharappaThe startup is an Additive Manufacturer service bureau with a focus on healthcare and medical applications.

The company offers its solutions across three verticals: medical models, implants and surgical instruments. As per the company’s LinkedIn profile, the startup is first in Asia to be able to offer additive manufactured customised body implants made of a bio-compatible Titanium alloy.

The page also mentions, “Using sophisticated hardware and software, we are able to convert traditional X-Ray, MRI, CT and other diagnostic images into clear transparent 3D Models, at a fraction of the cost and in most cases within 24 Hrs. These models are highly accurate and help the doctor to plan a better surgery, as well as the patient to understand his anatomy before undergoing any hospitalisation. These models can also act as evidence in any medico-legal situation.”

“We have started the R&D for patient-specific implants. We (Asians) get very limited choices when it comes to knee implants, for example. We make implants specific to the patient based on age and lifestyle,” said co-founder, Maltesh Somasekharappa.

Recently, in the last week of December 2016, Flipkart founders Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal invested an undisclosed amount in Pandorum Technologies, that has found a way to 3D-print experimental-stage human liver tissues in a laboratory.

Other investments of Flipkart include MadRat Games,  Unacademy, Ather, Yumlane, HashLearnZopper , Roposo, Nanosystem, Tracxn, News in Shorts and more.
