We Are FabMachines
FabMachines (a brand of Fabheads) focuses a lot of their resources on developing better, more reliable, automated fabrication technologies for the composites sector. Ever since incorporation, Fabheads has went on to become the first company in Asia with in-house developed fiber 3D printing capabilities, got several awards for their innovative work in the composites fabrication sector and continue to keep setting themselves newer and bigger targets leading to an eventual complete automation in the composite manufacturing sector.
The Team
Dhinesh Kanagaraj
Founder and CEO
Dhinesh Kanagaraj established Fabheads ‘layer by layer’ after gathering extensive experience from reputed organizations such as ISRO, etc. He started his work on Composite Materials right from when he was studying in IIT-M. Dhinesh started Fabheads in his flat with a small team of interns and was soon able to get incubated by IIT Research Park within a year. Dhinesh is never just a CEO. He likes to get down in the trenches and get his hands dirty in building Fabheads’ 3D printers. Dhinesh is invested in the long term possibilities of composite part fabrication and he believes in creating an ecosystem for technological growth. He mentors and consults for the student community in their ambitious projects and loves nurturing their curiosity towards composite materials and their possibilities.
