Rapid Prototyping (RP) Method: It is used to create models to quickly
                                             test a new product before mass production. 3D printing can be termed
                                             as a RP method.




                    Medicine:  In the  last  several years,  3D printing  applications have
                   increased  manifold  in  the  world of  medicine.  They  range  from
                   bioprinting, where biological materials like cells and growth factors
                   are fused  to  create  tissue-like  structures  replicating  their  natural

                   equivalents—to medical devices like prosthetics. With 3D printing,
                   prosthetics can be modeled, customised and printed at lower costs
                   and quickly.



                                             Construction: It is widely used in the construction industry; model houses
                                           can be built in a day using 3D printing.



                     Art and Jewellery: The use of 3D printing has led Jewellery
                   makers to experiment with non-traditional designs
                   which were not possible with the traditional methods of
                   jewellery making. It is now possible to make individual
                   exclusive pieces or customised pieces of jewellery at a lesser cost with  3D printing materials

                   like PLA (polylactic acid filament), gold or platinum. This technology has inspired artists
                   from all over the world. Artists can create beautiful intricate pieces with metal  3D printing.
                 There are many 3D Printing methods:

                    Direct 3D Printing: It uses inkjet technology, emitting waxes and polymers to create a solid
                   object.

                   Binder 3D Printing: It uses nozzles and a materials that come together to act as glue.
                   Multi-Jet-Modeling (MJM): It uses multiple materials to form an object.

                   Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): It is a patented technique like Direct 3D printing.
                    Photo-polymerization:  In  photo-polymerization, an ultra-violet  laser beam  acts  on liquid
                   plastic drops and converts them into solid-state, thus forming a 3D object.
                 We  also have Selective Deposit  Lamination  (SDL),  Direct  Metal  Laser Sintering  (DMLS)  and

                 Electronic Beam Melting (EBM) techniques.



                           RPA (ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION)

                 Most of the jobs in any industry consist of tasks that are repetitive and can be automated. Robotic

                 Process  Automation  (RPA) allows organisations to  automate  tasks  that  human  beings  were
