3D Printing in India
Technological development has widened manufacturing of objects
using 3D printing including automotive parts, sample architectures
and constructions, metal printing, prototypes of footwear, energy
production, healthcare, aeronautical, educational objects, robotics and
drones, and many others. Unceasing and unbounded breakthroughs in
3D printing technology have created an enormous influence on industry
and commerce, thereby expanding the 3D printing economy. Market
opportunity is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23% through 2025.
In India, growing demand for prototyping from various industry
verticals for instance automotive, healthcare, defense, and aerospace
are projected to drive the market. Government of India initiatives are
targeting to stimulate indigenous manufacturing. For example, the
Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) intends to provide firms
incentives on incremental sales of products domestically manufactured,
empowering the sector to build more capacity, encouraging large domestic
players to boost local production, and paving the way for India to become
the manufacturing hub while attracting foreign investment. All of this
offers a fertile opportunity for entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship
development in the area of 3D printing technology.

Rationale of 3D Printing Facility in an Educational Ecosystem
Multi-dimensional education in a digital age necessitates equal
weightage to theory and project-based, experiential learning formats.
Classrooms today are places of practical application where hands-on
