# Fracktal Works > Fracktal Works designs and builds industrial and desktop FDM 3D printers in Bengaluru, India — Snowflake, Julia, Dragon, Twin Dragon and Volterra, with the Apollo 350 SLS powder-bed platform unveiled in January 2025 — and runs an on-demand manufacturing floor that turns CAD files into parts in 20+ materials across five processes. Founded June 2013 at Manipal Institute of Technology by Vijay Raghav Varada (founder and CEO); incubated at MUTBI. Seed-funded in November 2024 by Mohandas Pai (Aarin Capital) and Dr Ranjan Pai (MEMG family office). With IISc's FSID, and under a Rs 8.5 crore Ministry of Heavy Industries grant, Fracktal co-developed the Apollo 350 SLS, India's first indigenously designed and developed polymer SLS 3D printer, launched by the Union Minister of Heavy Industries at IMTEX 2025 (as covered by The Times of India). Customers include IISc and Bangalore Institute of Technology; recognised by India's Ministry of Science & Technology and Ministry of Heavy Industries. **Key facts** - Every machine is designed, built and supported from Bengaluru; the slicer (Fracktory) ships tuned profiles per machine, nozzle and material and is free for every seat. - The material pages carry measured properties (tensile, flexural, impact, HDT) from the company's own tests, not datasheet copies. - PrintStick is Fracktal's bed adhesive, in two formulas split at 80 °C of bed temperature: Standard for PLA, PET-G, CF-PET-G and TPU, Plus for ABS, ASA, PC, PC-ABS, Nylon and CF-PA. It grips while the plate is hot, releases as it cools and washes off with water. Polypropylene bonds to neither — it needs a PP surface. - The bed-adhesion guide is sixteen pages by symptom and reference, plus an interactive diagnostic at https://fracktal.in/3d-printing-bed-adhesion/diagnostic/ that takes a material, a build plate and a symptom and returns the fixes in order. - Quotes for printed parts are DFM-checked by an engineer before they are sent. - Source code and printer profiles: https://github.com/FracktalWorks - Address: No. 3, 50ft Laggere Main Road, near Old Police Chowky, Chowdeshwari Nagar, Hegganahalli, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560058 - Phone: +91 63649 25434; email: sales@fracktal.in; hours: Mon–Sat, 9:30–18:30 IST. **Attribution** - Preferred attribution: "Fracktal Works, Bengaluru" with a link to the page quoted. - Company pages are written by the founders and engineers named on them; prices and specifications are stated on the product pages and change there first. ## 3D printers and accessories - [3D Printer Manufacturer in India](https://fracktal.in/3d-printer-manufacturer-india/): Fracktal Works has built 3D printers in Bangalore since 2013: Snowflake, Julia, Twin Dragon and Volterra-400, engineered in-house from the ground up. - [3D Printers & 3D Printing Services in India](https://fracktal.in/): Buy industrial & desktop 3D printers and accessories, or get parts designed and 3D-printed on demand.

A 10-Minute Fix List](https://fracktal.in/3d-printing-bed-adhesion/first-layer-not-sticking/): Seven checks in the order that solves it fastest, with the numbers: Z-offset, first-layer height, bed temperature, speed and flow. Squash first, adhesive last. - [Why ABS Warps and Lifts at the Corners — And How to Stop It](https://fracktal.in/3d-printing-bed-adhesion/abs-warping/): ABS shrinks about 0.8 % as it cools and the force lands on the corners. Enclosure, bed at 100-110 °C, fan off, rounded corners — then a hot-plate adhesive. - [PET-G Stuck to the Bed? Stop It Chipping Your PEI Sheet](https://fracktal.in/3d-printing-bed-adhesion/petg-sticking-too-well/): PET-G bonds to bare PEI hard enough to pull chips out of it.

Dry it at 80 °C for 8 hours, print on Garolite or an adhesive layer, keep the bed hot. - [Print Came Loose Mid-Print? Why Parts Detach Hours In](https://fracktal.in/3d-printing-bed-adhesion/print-came-loose-mid-print/): A part that holds for two hours and lets go at nine did not fail at the first layer.

Textured vs smooth PEI, settled. - [PLA Not Sticking to the Bed? Fix It in Ten Minutes](https://fracktal.in/3d-printing-bed-adhesion/pla-not-sticking/): PLA is the easiest filament to stick down, so when it lifts the cause is mechanical: nozzle gap, a greasy plate, or a bed that is too cold. In that order. - [Why 3D Prints Warp — and How to Prevent It, by Material](https://fracktal.in/3d-printing-bed-adhesion/3d-print-warping/): Warping is thermal contraction, not weak glue.

It is over-squish, an over-hot bed, or both — and the slicer setting people reach for is a patch. - [Brim, Raft or Skirt? Which One Your Print Needs](https://fracktal.in/3d-printing-bed-adhesion/brim-raft-skirt/): A skirt is not an adhesion aid. A brim adds grip for a few minutes of print time; a raft costs far more and solves a different problem. When to use each. - [How to Clean a 3D Printer Bed: PEI, Glass, Garolite](https://fracktal.in/3d-printing-bed-adhesion/clean-build-plate/): Skin oil from one fingerprint is enough to stop a first layer bonding.
