A Vision Born Abroad
At the heart of Stony Brook University's vibrant campus, Mayank Mittal, a young student from India, discovered more than just academic challenges—he found inspiration. Amid the whirring of 3D printers in the university's lab, he saw beyond plastic models and prototypes. To Mayank, this wasn't just technology—it was a tool for change. He witnessed its power to reshape industries, solve real-world problems, and give life to bold ideas. In that moment, far from home, he knew he had found his purpose: to use innovation not just to create, but to make a difference.

Laying the Foundation in India
In 2015, driven by passion and purpose, Mayank Mittal returned to India with a mission — to make 3D printing accessible, affordable, and impactful across the country. Thus, 3idea was born.
The journey wasn't easy. It meant breaking barriers, building awareness, educating institutions, and developing a robust ecosystem from scratch. But with each challenge came a new milestone. Schools started adopting 3D printers. Hospitals began experimenting with medical prototyping. Industries explored custom automation. The seeds of transformation had been sown.
3idea wasn't just a business — it was a movement.
The Rise of 3idea
Since its inception, 3idea has grown exponentially — not just in numbers, but in impact. What started as a single vision in a classroom abroad has now become one of India's leading technology solution providers in 3D printing.
With its roots grounded in the idea of "Bharat", 3idea continues to drive innovation across sectors, helping bridge the technological gap for individuals, startups, institutions, and large enterprises alike.
And we're just getting started.
Alongside nurturing 3idea's vision, Mayank also handles Bharat Wire Ropes as Joint Managing Director, pouring the same enthusiasm into shaping its legacy and future.
