IoT is here to stay and expand. Many new utilities with rich functionality can be built which will
                  revolutionise our lives. Think of driverless cars and an automatically managed traffic system using
                  IoT sensors, which result in zero accidents. Truly, in the world of IoT, only our imagination is our
                  ultimate limit.




                             3D PRINTING

                  3D Printing or 3-Dimensional Printing is a technology which was

                  first developed at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in
                  the 1980’s. It is the process of making a physical object from a
                  three-dimensional physical model. In this technology, we use the
                  3D digital data on the computer to build 3D objects by adding
                  layers of material which could be polymers, metals, concrete or
                  even plant and human tissue. 3D Printing helps to bridge the gap            3D Printing technology
                  between ideas and images on a page or screen and the creation of those ideas/images in the

                  physical 3-Dimensional world.
                  The major applications of 3D Printing are:

                      Education: It is widely used in the education sector. It prepares
                    the students for their future by allowing them to create prototypes

                    without  tooling  and  extensive  work. It  helps  the  students  to
                    design and produce models they can hold and feel.
                                            Rapid Prototyping  (RP) Method: It is
                                            used  to create  models  to quickly  test  a      3D Printing in Education

                                            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, customized and printed at lower costs and quickly.                   3D Printed equipment




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