                  IoT is here to stay and expand. Many new utilities with rich functionality can
                  be built which will revolutionize our lives. Think of driverless cars and an
                  automatically managed traffic system using IoT sensors, which result in zero

                      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
                                                                                             3D Printing technology
                  Printing helps to bridge the gap 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.
                                                                                                3D Printing in Education
                                          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.


                     3D Prototype

                      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
                                                                                                  3D Printed equipments
                      prosthetics.

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

                       Art and Jewelry: The use of 3D Printing has led the jewelry
                      makers to experiment with non-traditional designs which
                      were not possible with the traditional methods of jewelry
                      making.                                                              3D Printed Jewelry
