Preface
 
Welcome to the world of 3D Printing. This hand-book 3D Printing- Made Simple takes you through this exciting innovation, technology called 3D Printing. 3D printing is revolutionizing the way we do a lot of things and not just creation of physical objects. McKinsey Global Institute has estimated that 3D printing could generate economic impact of $79 billion per year by 2020 with a 28% CAGR. So, ARE YOU READY? The huge growth rates are a direct result of its applications for prototyping and mass production in a number of industries, thanks to an ever increasing list of 3D printable materials. The World Economic Forum describes it as one of the four pillars of the 4th Industrial Revolution alongside AR, VR & AI, big data, block chains etc. Many countries like India, completely missed the 1st two industrial revolutions (steam & petrol engines) and partially benefitted in the 3rd (electronics / computers). Now can we afford to not, or just partially participate in the 4th Industrial Revolution?
I am taking you forward into the 21st century’s most promising & tangible technology. Why tangible, because the results can be held in your hand not in a cloud or virtual / augmented reality. I started my journey in 3D printing in 2014 and have come a long way since then. I have seen the technology grow and more so the early adopters grow with it, which is the most encouraging aspect. I specialize in 3D printing skilling, consulting and setting up of 3D equipment. I work with the objective of skilling / empowering people & organizations with the help of 3D printing so as to increase their overall long term productivity & efficiency. The short term results are more profound in terms of increase in creativity, imagination, intuition & thinking which directly impacts the day to day working, decision making etc.
To upskill & empower people we started with offline courses in 3D printing comprising of various durations depending on the time available. Thereafter with suggestion of my mentor Dr. MM Pant we started a bespoke weekend learning course in 3D Printing that we delivered through WhatsApp. It’s spread over 2 days comprising of 8 posts every day i.e. 1 post every hour starting from 9am to 5pm. Contribution of participants’ ideas, queries etc. during the course was a must. The group remained active / alive later as well for participants to access all posts & discussions. This was a much asked for upgrade to the old school system of lecturing, lecturer goes away and so does his thoughts, ideas etc. and whatever a student / learner is able to remember or note is what remains with her. Even in a MOOC (massive online open courses) the course delivery and discussion is segregated, complex and done over weeks. Here everything is in your hand (mobile) i.e. the curated content, discussion, videos, pics etc. This book condenses all the curated content that is there in the course. QR codes have been printed to view the videos. I wrote this book for the person who wants to know something about 3D printing but not necessarily to make a career in it, wants to better understand 3D printing’s applicability in her industry / profession, wants to learn basic design and for that person who likes to be abreast with the times. This book is devoid of technical jargon, it doesn’t contain the programming part, how to create a 3D printer, CAD software codes writing and the likes.
However, this book is divided into 2 parts. Part 1 broadly discusses 3D printing, 4th industrial revolution, the process, applications, examples, utility of 3D printing, the comparison of 3D printing to mass production and UN – SDG & 3D Printing. The Part 2 of this book discusses the advantages of 3D printing, its various technologies, SWOT, application , use cases and in the end what we do. There are questions in or after each topic, just as you have already read a few in this preface and I encourage you to answer them before moving on.
I do like to acknowledge the support I received from captains of the industry, my vendors / suppliers, customers’ feedback and countless other people that I meet each year, who teach something that becomes so valuable for me as a lesson to pen it down. I would be failing in my duties if I do not thank my publisher’s M/s BPB Publications and especially Mr. Manish Jain for his guidance & support. Once again it’s my pleasure to bring you this book and my co-ordinates are mentioned below.
 
Wishing you a 3D Printed success story,

Foreword
For the last few years I have been trying to enhance public understanding of the impact of the coming fourth Industrial Age, driven by exponential growth and disruptive innovations across domains. Of these disruptive innovations, one that has the potential of a variety of different applications is 3D printing or digital additive manufacturing.
Avikshit is one of the early pioneers in this field and has been passionate in explaining and demonstrating the current usage and immense potential of 3D printing to large numbers.
This hand-book, which is one of its kind is the result of his experimentation and exploration in this field, including running several editions of courses on this topic, delivered through WhatsApp on mobile devices.
The publication of this book couldn’t have been at a more appropriate time. With the credibility of the UGC/AICTE at the higher education level and the CBSE/ NCERT at the school level having significantly eroded, the best option for the youth is to move away from the ‘rote learning culture’ and prepare themselves for the future by developing a maker culture and become creative and innovative by demonstrating their competencies in 3D printing.
This new technology is not only about challenging traditional manufacturing, but also about a new Pedagogy at the School level. The Innovative Pedagogy Report 2014 from the UK Open University, suggested ‘Bricolage’ as an Innovative Pedagogy that would be mainstream in about 4 years.
The term ‘bricolage’ is French for ‘tinkering’, or working creatively with whatever tools and resources are available. Originally used in relation to activities, such as carpentry, it has since been applied to 3D printing of everyday objects of the kind described in this book. There is an important pedagogical aspect of bricolage. Through bricolage both the learner and the materials are transformed.
Children can be encouraged to learn through imaginative play by providing them with a rich environment of objects that they created using with 3D printers.
A very important element of this book is a glossary of terms related to 3D printing. This will enable a better understanding not only of the contents of this book, but a better comprehension of information regarding this field gathered from other sources, such as magazines, blogs and websites.
This is a very commendable book and I hope that in the not so distant future, a large number of people will happily recall that this was their first introduction to this field of 3D printing.
