Automated Fiber Placement - Advanced Additive Manufacturing - Ex-Scientist Indian Space Research Organization

Pravin Luthada is the CEO and co-founder of Addcomposites, a company that specializes in automated fiber placement (AFP) solutions for composite manufacturing.12 He holds a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Aalto University and has prior experience in the satellite industry in India.1

Luthada founded Addcomposites with a team of students after participating in a project course at Aalto University. Their initial technology concept showed such potential that they decided to apply for a patent and seek funding to develop it into a commercial product.1

Under Luthada's leadership, Addcomposites has developed innovative technology that makes automatic manufacturing of composite parts more affordable and accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises. Their key product is a plug-and-play toolhead that can be used with any robotic arm, allowing companies to automate the production of composite components without significant investment.12

Addcomposites is now part of the European Space Agency's Business Incubation Centre in Otaniemi and works on satellite-related pilot projects. The company has also expanded into other industries, including wind power and automotive applications.1

Luthada has successfully navigated the challenges of commercializing technology internationally, emphasizing the importance of sales and marketing alongside technological innovation. He has also benefited from Finland's new residence permit program for start-up entrepreneurs, which has facilitated his work as an Indian national in Finland.1
