When you step into the factory of DELTASYS E FORMING, located just across the back gate of Gogte Institute of Technology in Udyambag, Belagavi, you’re met with an unexpected sight — towering, cutting-edge 3D printing machines unlike anything you’ve seen before. DELTASYS isn’t simply following trends — it’s building the future.
A Deep Tech Dream Built in Udyambag
Founded by two determined mechanical engineering students from Jain University — Virendra Kadam and Murlidhar Sutar — DELTASYS E FORMING is Belagavi’s own deep tech startup that designs, develops, and manufactures advanced 3D printing machines and CNC machining centers. What sets this company apart is its focus on “mother machines” — the backbone of industrial manufacturing — engineered with precision, reliability, and scalability.
The company’s journey began modestly. In their final year at Jain Polytechnic, Virendra and Murlidhar built a 3D printer as a college project. They had spent most of their time at the engineering college library, scouring all books they could lay their hands on. But 3-D printers caught their attention. That passion turned into purpose when they built and sold their first small scale 3D printing machine soon after graduating. Starting on a shoestring budget and working out of a small, rented space, the duo realized that the market for small 3D printers was saturated with many cheaper alternatives available in the market. So, they shifted their focus to large-format, high-performance 3D printing machines — a niche with few players and high potential.
Today, they operate from a 14,000 sq. ft. facility in Udyambag and are already planning a move to a larger space to accommodate their growing production scale and product size.
Innovation Engineered: The Pattern Forge Machine
At the heart of DELTASYS E FORMING’ diverse product portfolio lies the Pattern Forge Machine — a breakthrough innovation designed for the foundry industry. Traditionally, making a new casting pattern was a time-consuming, labor-intensive task done manually by skilled artisans. It often took weeks or months to produce just one.
DELTASYS E FORMING revolutionized this with their proprietary DE Thermo Fiber Resin material. The Pattern Forge machine dehydrates, melts, and deposits these resins layer by layer to create patterns within hours — dramatically reducing time, labor, and cost. This has become a game changer for industries like automotive, power generation, agriculture, and heavy engineering, which rely heavily on casting components. The clients include big names in Heavy Engineering, automobile and other allied engineering sectors as also reputed institutes like IITs,NITs,CSIR Labs and IISc, etc. who need large size patterns before manufacturing begins. A large size pattern of say, a part of a large pump or the dashboard of a truck or car takes a long time to be created by hand and could have minor anomalies, especially given the shapes. With the 3D Printing machine, it becomes quick and accurate.
Beyond Patterns: A Broader Product Line
The innovation doesn’t stop there. DELTASYS E FORMING also manufactures:
• Advanced Hybrid 3D Printers – designed for additive manufacturing with high- performance materials.
• Construction 3D Printers – capable of large-scale, automated concrete-based home building.
• CNC Machining Centers – 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machines used in plastic and composite trimming, and the manufacturing of special purpose CNC machines (SPMs) for complex material processing.
Their machines can work on a wide range of materials including hard metals, composites, plastics, wood, and even stone — enabling multi-industry applications.
Leadership Rooted in Vision and Values
CEO Virendra Kadam, hailing from a humble farming background, is as comfortable discussing high-tech innovation as he is talking about philosophy, literature, or spiritual growth. His workspace is a reflection of his curious and balanced mind — adorned with books by Napoleon Hill, Babasaheb Purandare, Sarthak Ahuja, Jim Collins, Sadhguru, and others. The table also has a replica of the Adi Yogi, Lingbhairavi Devi and an assorted symbols of belief. A follower of Sadhguru and a practitioner of early morning meditation, Virendra begins his day at 4:30 AM and is at his factory by 7:00 AM — a discipline that reflects in the company’s culture as well. He loves off-roading on his KTM Adventure or the newly acquired Triumph, a rare indulgence when time permits. Currently, he is busy writing his first book on concepts dear to his heart about human life and existential questions.
The Road Ahead
With machines priced between ₹45 lakhs and ₹3 crores, DELTASYS has carved out a niche in India’s manufacturing innovation ecosystem. The company is one of the very few players in its segment, not just in India but globally. With a robust order book and participation in national and international tech exhibitions, Deltasys is making Belagavi proud on the world stage. “The day we sell our fiftieth PATTERN FORGE machine, we will open our office in New York” says Virendra with a confident smile as USA, Brazil is good market for Composite Part production where PATTERN FORGE is being used to make Moulds and Patterns for the Compsosite part production, adding that it’s going to be much sooner than expected.
In an era where deep tech startups often emerge from metros and Tier-1 cities, Deltasys E Forming proves that innovation can thrive anywhere — even from a modest factory floor in Udyambag, Belagavi — when powered by vision, grit, and a relentless drive to solve real-world problems.
