A successful one-day seminar focused on revolutionary changes in the world of 3D printing was organized today at R V S College of Engineering and Technology. The seminar aimed to familiarize students, teachers, and industry experts with advanced 3D printing technologies, applications, and future possibilities. Mechanical engineering students participated in the seminar, along with faculty members. The seminar started at 10 AM in the college auditorium. Professor Amit Sinha, Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at R V S College, delivered the welcome speech, describing 3D printing as the “manufacturing technology of the future.” He said, “3D printing not only simplifies and makes the production process cost-effective but also brings unprecedented innovations in fields like medicine, automobile, and aerospace. Such seminars serve as a medium to connect students with global-level technologies.” Professor Sinha’s speech inspired all attendees and set the direction for the program. The chief speaker of the seminar was Dr. Vijay Kumar Dalla, Assistant Professor at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Jamshedpur. He gave a detailed lecture covering basic concepts to advanced applications of 3D printing. Dr. Dalla, an expert in mechanical engineering and additive manufacturing, highlighted various 3D printing techniques such as stereolithography (SLA), fused deposition modeling (FDM), and selective laser sintering (SLS). He provided examples of 3D printing being used to manufacture prosthetic limbs that make life easier for people with disabilities. Dr. Dalla also emphasized the development of 3D printing in India. He said, “Under the Make in India initiative, 3D printing is being promoted. In an industrial city like Jamshedpur, home to companies like Tata Steel, this technology can reduce production costs by 30-50%.” His lecture included a real-time demonstration where a simple model was created using a small 3D printer, which excited the students. An interactive session was also held during the program, where participants asked questions related to 3D printing. Students discussed material science, environmental impact, and startup opportunities. Dr. Dalla suggested that students should learn 3D modeling using open-source software like Blender or Tinkercad. During the seminar, the Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at R V S College announced the upcoming establishment of a 3D printing lab to provide practical training to students. He said such events connect students with industry demands and contribute to making Jamshedpur a technology hub. Certificates were distributed to participants, and many students expressed that the seminar was inspiring for their careers.
