Construction: It is widely used in the construction industry; model
houses can be built in a day with the help of 3D Printing.
Art and Jewellery: The use of 3D Printing has led the jewellery makers
to experiment with non-traditional designs which were not possible
3D Model for House
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.
3D Printed Jewellery Artists can create beautiful intricate pieces with metal 3D
Printing.
Fashion: Designers use 3D printing to create innovative and personalised fashion pieces such
as clothing, accessories, and footwear.
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 the materials that come together to act as a 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.
ROBOTICS
Robotics is a branch of engineering that uses technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and
Machine Learning. It deals with the design, construction, operation and application of robots.
Robots are nowadays used to build cars, manufacture and pack items, perform surgeries.
They are also used in space exploration, laboratory research, bomb dispersal, farming, mining,
etc. Household robots, like cooking bots, lawnmower and vacuum bots have proved to be helpful
assistants.
A robot may resemble a human, or it may be in the form of a robotic application, such as robotic
process automation (RPA).
RPA (Robotic Process Automation)
Most jobs in any industry consist of the tasks that are repetitive in nature and can be automated.
RPA or Robotic Process Automation allows organisations to automate tasks, which human beings
were doing across various applications and systems. The purpose of RPA is to shift the execution
of the process from humans to robots. Robotic automation uses the existing IT infrastructure
without using any complex system integrations.
