The second edition of the Inside 3D printing Conference and Expo concluded recently in Mumbai. Having quickly grown to become the largest professional platform for the Additive Manufacturing fraternity in India, I3DP Mumbai had all the elements to grasp the awe and interests of the audience.

Imaginarium, as the lead patron had a gleaming showcase demonstrating the applications of 3D printing in different verticals. From Precious jewellery to precision-engineered prototypes, and patient-specific Anatomical models, the booth reflected how this technology holds a major role in product development and Imaginarium’s range of services and support to help creativity reach new horizons.

Of the major attractions of the event were the customized bobble head figurines that featured in the latest MP Tourism ad. The figurines which resemble tin-toys to give the viewer a feeling of pleasant reminiscence and nostalgia, were actually made using 3D printing. Learn more about their journey: https://goo.gl/opjlJQ

A 3D printed mannequin from Gavin Miguel was live at the booth. “Breathing life to my designs with 3D printing has only given me scope to dream the unthinkable. My association with Imaginarium on this project is a new chapter, a new beginning yet to unfold in future,” believes the bespoke designer.

At the Metamorphosis Experience zone visitors couldn’t seem to get enough of 3D printing. With an absolute educational front, people were elated to try their hands on something that had been encrypted as Science fiction by a layman till date. Injecting wax into molds was fun and so was getting to see an accessory ‘printed’, live! A hands-on experience with 3D printed guides to make precise cuts and incisions during a surgery, gave them a clearer picture of how technology is revolutionizing the medical and healthcare industry for a better future.

The conference sessions saw eminent personalities discuss the role of additive manufacturing in changing businesses, industrial, and medical applications. The growing demand for 3D printers in Indian market could be seen with an increase in the number of booths as compared to previous year. Exclusive networking opportunities and keynote presentations marked the day with the Indian 3D printing community coming together to build a better tomorrow.

We have a day to celebrate almost every person in our life - Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Teacher’s Day and Children’s Day. Yet, there is a very important stakeholder of our life who plays a silent yet crucial part of our childhood - our school Principal. This was the trigger for the much loved stationery company Kokuyo Camlin to initiate a special day to mark the contribution of Principals towards education and learning. The second edition of Kokuyo Camlin Principal’s Day was all about learning and sharing of innovative educational techniques that can be implemented in our education system to facilitate better ways of learning.

Over hundred Principals, school trustees, directors and supervisors from prominent schools in Mumbai participated in the event that emphasized on ‘Making Learning Fun’. The session shared various techniques that would help students to be creative and learn in a better way, including ideas on transforming the infrastructure of schools into a learning canvas, apps for connecting schools, teachers and parents and of course introducing students to the world of 3D printing.

Metamorphosis Café, powered by Imaginarium, was delighted to be at this platform to talk about how 3D printing can be installed in schools for educating and empowering kids to unleash their creativity.

Live demos on 3D printers helped the audience understand the potential of technology and its versatility that can be made useful in helping education and creativity.

Metamorphosis is an interface between the world of technology and that of education, where we make 3D printing accessible to schools and colleges with a customized package of machines, material, training content, activities and support.
