“ Additive Manufacturing “ will be a NEO [ New Export Opportunity ]
Context :
3D manufacturing policy: Target of 500 items by ’25 / Indian Express / 25 Feb 2022
Extract :
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology ( MeitY ) aims to increase India’s share in global additive manufacturing to 5 per cent within the next three years, with hopes that it could likely add $ 1 billion to the gross domestic product by that time.
As per the National Strategy for Additive Manufacturing, by 2025, India will aim to achieve certain targets such as,
# 50 India specific technologies for material, machine and software,
# 100 new startups for additive manufacturing,
# 500 new products.
In total, MeitY hopes that these new startups and opportunities will give jobs to at least 1 lakh new skilled workers over the next three years.
“We have taken some very clearly defined goals in this strategy…,” IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said while releasing the strategy document.
3D printing or additive manufacturing uses computer-aided designing to make prototypes or working models of objects by laying down successive layers of materials such as plastic, resin, thermoplastic, metal, fiber or ceramic.
With the help of software, the model to be printed is first developed by the computer, which then gives instructions to the 3D printer.
In its national strategy, MeitY has suggested that to get ahead in the additive manufacturing or 3D printing space, India must adopt it in all sectors, including in defence and public sectors.
An apex body which has subject matter experts and leaders from local and global industries could be established to lead the mission.
MY TAKE :
Dear Shri Piyush Goyalji,
Here is how 3D Printing industry, should be developed to boost exports :
{ A } Exporting SOFTWARE for 3 D printing
Ø Indian software geeks can design / develop 3D printing software at ONE TENTH what it would cost a US – EU – JAPANESE company to develop it in-house, in their own countries. They would prefer to outsource such software to Indians
Sitting in their homes with their own ( scale model ) 3D printing machines, these Indians would give a demo of the software developed, to their foreign clients, using ZOOM – Google Meet ( holograms, at a future date ), - before emailing it
{ B } Exporting COMPONENTS manufactured in India, using 3D Printing
This is a case where a Foreign Company has already developed its own 3D printing softwares but do not wish to set up local manufacturing facility in its own country , with all its hassle / manpower / commitments
They would like an Indian Company ( with its cost-competitiveness ), to manufacture components using their software ( delivered over internet ) and ship out
I believe, given adequate support / encouragement / incentives / push by the government, this could motivate many Indian Startups to set up 3D PRINTING factories ( with 3D printing machines capable of using a wide variety of Raw Materials such as metals – resins – plastics – even organic compounds etc ) exclusively to cater to foreign clients
Dear Shri Goyalji,
What I have envisaged above, is entirely feasible – and before Dec 2022 - if you could convince your Cabinet Colleagues to agree to implement :

REDEFINING MANUFACTURING ? ……………………….[ 05 Nov 2015 ]
Extract :
Under the revised Factory Law, manufacturing is sought to be re-defined as :
" Any process or activity resulting in any alteration of original character , such as nature, state, shape, size, usefulness, and/or making value addition to the original material acted upon when subjected to the process or activity "
Then here is a glimpse of the " Factories of Future " :
3D printed " Products " in thousands of " homes " ( designs downloaded from internet )
3D printed , " Mass-production " of buildings on open plots of lands ( WinSun of China )
So , what should we do ?
# Do not anchor " Factory Act " around " Manufacturing Processes " ; however if you
must, then retain " packaging " as legitimate manufacturing process in Factories Bill -
2014
# Re-name this Act as " Human Enterprise Act " , and make it applicable to any
organization employing 100 or more persons, at a single location , irrespective of the ,
* " Original Material " having any " Original Character "
* Any " Alteration / Value Addition " taking place
* Subjecting the material to any process ( physical or mental )

I am no time-traveller and maybe it is time to stop looking beyond to day !
A BBC TV report last evening talked about the Chinese Manufacturers having developed machines that can carry out traditional Indian " Chikankari " embroidery on a saree within one hour what takes poor women of Lucknow, close to a hundred hours !
And they are dumping these sarees in the Indian Market at one fourth the price !
Some 5 lakh poor women in UP are in danger of being obsolete !
DIPP is planning to equip some 100 " Innovation Centres " at University Campuses across India , with 3D printers
How about some Indian Start Up developing a technology to 3D Print " Chikankari " sarees and make these software / hardware available to these poor women, to beat the Chinese at their own game ?

How long before textile scientists come up with a fabric that does not require " Stitching " to make garments ?
May be a fabric that can be " welded " or " glued " to form a garment ?
And a automated assembly-line where :
* Fabric is fed at one end
* Glue ( or a welding wire ) , is fed at intermediate stages
* Fabric gets cut into pieces as per online personalized " designs " ordered by visitors of Amazon / Flipkart /
Snapdeal etc
What would this do to the manufacturers of domestic / industrial sewing machines and threads ?
And then what would happen to such automated garment-making assembly lines when people install 3D Printing Machines in their homes ? - machines that can print garments as per designs downloaded from Net ?
E Commerce Definition : a Space Ship ?................... [ 05 July 2018 ]
Extract :
These days , a product could be,
* patented in one country ( concept )
* designed in another country
* developed ( detail manufacturing drawings ) in another country
* components made all over the World
* Sub-Assemblies ( of those components ) carried out in another country
* Final Assembly done in another country
* Packaging done in another country
* Offered for sale on ONLINE e-commerce portals in another country
* Marketed by agencies located all over the World
* Delivered using manpower / drones / supply chains of several countries
* Financed by funds from all over the world
At which “ Level “ of Value Addition , does a product become “ local “ ?
And if I download a " Product Drawings / Design " over the internet and then " 3D Print " it in my garage ( using " imported " resins ) , then is that a " local " product ?
