“3D printing is now moving towards becoming mainstream,” notes Vishesh Shishodia, co-founder, www.3dprintronics.com. Earlier, 3D printing was restricted to big industries or research labs that used industrial 3D printers for rapid prototyping. With the proliferation of desktop fused deposition modelling (FDM) based 3D printers, this technology has now come to the masses. He says, “The massive doit- yourself (DIY) movement in the USA and Europe in the field of open source 3D printers has a huge contribution in making this technology affordable and available to common people. Project RepRap is one such movement.” He adds, “Most of the present desktop 3D printers are based on ideas taken from such open source printers.”
