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         3D Printed equipment

              quickly.



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