3D Printing, CNC & Prototype Manufacturing in Nepal — GarudX Engineering
GarudX's precision manufacturing capabilities extend well beyond drones. 3D printing, CNC carbon fiber cutting, composite layup, and CAD-to-prototype services — Nepal's only high-tech precision manufacturing facility.
Nepal has never had world-class precision manufacturing capability. Until now. GarudX's Lalitpur facility runs the same manufacturing processes used to build our military-grade UAV platforms — CNC machining, carbon fiber composites, FDM and resin 3D printing, and professional CAD design — and we offer these capabilities as a service to external clients.
3D Printing Services
GarudX operates industrial FDM printers capable of printing in PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, Nylon, and carbon fiber-filled filaments. Build volume up to 300×300×400mm. Layer resolution to 0.1mm. For precision applications, we run SLA resin printing with 25-micron resolution for parts requiring fine detail or smooth surface finish.
Typical use cases: product prototypes, functional mechanical parts, jigs and fixtures, housing and enclosures for electronics, and custom mounting hardware. Turnaround time: 24–72 hours for standard prints. We've printed everything from drone components to architectural scale models to medical device prototypes.
CNC Machining
Our CNC routing capability handles aluminum, carbon fiber, G10/FR4, HDPE, and wood composites. We cut custom drone frames, structural brackets, and precision panels to tolerances of ±0.1mm. Our 3-axis CNC router operates on a 1200×800mm bed — large enough for full-size drone frames and medium structural components.
Carbon fiber CNC cutting is our specialty — it's what we do for every GarudX drone frame in production. We understand the material properties, cutting speeds, and dust management required to produce clean, delamination-free carbon fiber parts consistently.
Composite Manufacturing
Beyond CNC cutting, GarudX performs manual carbon fiber layup for structural components requiring custom geometry or optimized fiber orientation. We work with uni-directional, bi-directional, and twill weave carbon fiber cloth in epoxy resin systems. Curing under vacuum bag pressure produces void-free, high-strength laminates.
For clients requiring lightweight structural parts — robotics frames, aerospace components, racing car bodywork, bicycle components — composite manufacturing offers strength-to-weight ratios impossible to achieve with any other process.
CAD Design Services
Not sure how to get from idea to printable/machinable file? GarudX's engineering team provides CAD design services in SolidWorks and Fusion 360. We take your concept — a sketch, a reference photo, or a description — and produce a production-ready 3D model. We understand design for manufacturing (DFM) principles and will flag design features that will cause problems in fabrication before we start cutting.
Design service rates: NPR 3,000–8,000 per component depending on complexity. Most mechanical parts take 2–5 working days for initial design. Revision cycles included.
Who Uses This Service
Our precision manufacturing services are used by: startups prototyping hardware products, university engineering teams building competition robots, electronics companies needing custom enclosures, research institutions requiring specialized equipment mounts, and individuals building custom FPV drones from scratch.
Nepal has historically lacked the manufacturing infrastructure for hardware innovation. GarudX's facility changes that. If you have a hardware idea and need to build a physical prototype, we can take it from CAD file to finished part without leaving Nepal.
