Abstract:
3D printing has been a next big thing since 1986. That is 34 Years and we still trying to understand and adopt. This is not without any reason. It was evolving and has now reached its tipping point. With steady investments into research into technology and materials, today it is offering a wide range of options to make things. 3D printing is unique in handling complex geometry. In fact, it is capable of making the impossible. The talk brings out its growth over the years and how it has become an important part of New Product Development process with few case studies. The talk will touch upon how 3D printing impacting Healthcare sector.
