One week Faculty Development Programme (FDP)/ Skilling Programme On 3D Printing & Prototyping

 Laser cutting is a precise and efficient technology that employs focused laser beams to cleanly cut through various materials with exceptional accuracy. Widely applied in manufacturing, signage, and aerospace, it handles diverse materials like metals and plastics. This non-contact method minimizes material distortion, making it favored for producing intricate and finely detailed components. 

 Recent advancements in 3D printing include notable improvements in printing speed, scalability, and material innovation. The technology now encompasses a broader range of materials, from advanced polymers to biomaterials for medical applications. Multi-material and multi-color printing capabilities have been refined, offering increased flexibility for designers and engineers. Bioprinting, specifically in tissue engineering and organ transplantation, has seen significant progress. These developments collectively position 3D printing as a versatile and transformative technology with widespread applications across industries. 

 The journey from ideation to prototyping in product development involves iterative stages. Ideation begins with brainstorming and idea generation, followed by a refinement process to select the most viable concepts. Design and planning establish the roadmap, leading to the creation of a prototype—a tangible model used for testing and validation. Testing and iteration refine the prototype based on feedback, ensuring alignment with user expectations. Once the final design is confirmed, the product transitions to the production phase. Throughout this process, collaboration, adaptability, and a user-centric focus are integral for successful development
