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.
                  There are many 3D Printing methods:

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

                       Binder 3D Printing: Uses nozzles and 2 materials which come together to act as a glue.
                       Multi-Jet-Modeling (MJM): Uses multiple materials to form an object.

                       Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): A patented technique like Direct 3D Printing.
                       Photo-polymerization:  Here  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 the tasks that
                  are repetitive in nature and can be automated. RPA or
                  Robotic  Process  Automation  allows  organizations  to
                  automate tasks which human beings were doing across
                  any applications and systems. The purpose of RPA is to
                  transfer  the  execution  of  the  process  from  humans  to
                  robots. Robotic automation uses the existing IT structure
                  without using any complex system integrations.                       Robotic Process Automation

                  RPA can be used to automate anything. It can be the workflow, infrastructure, and back office
                  processes which are labour intensive. The robots can interact with an applications, websites, and
                  portals The RPA is a software program which runs on an end user’s pc, laptop, or mobile device.

                  It is actually a sequence of commands executed by the robots using a set of business rules.
