3D printing has been taking the world by storm. From fashion, to food, to medical supplies to even Guns like shown on Vice . Indian 3d printing start-up's are not that far behind and infact we have quite a few young companies already in this space Like: The RepRap 3D Printer & the Brahma3 For Angad Daryani , technical acumen has always superseded his age. Building his first robot age eight years old, by 13 he was building his own versions of the open-source RepRap 3D printer . Currently aged 15 years old, he’s working on SharkBot a modified version of the RepRap, which he’ll sell to other “makers” in India, making it India’s first home-grown 3D printer. Additionally, he has also created an e-book reader for blind people, the Virtual Brailler, which converts written text to braille as it scans across a text.Thewas launched by Bangalore based co-founders Nikhil Velpanur and Arvind Nadig , who showcased the product at an exhibition organised at Godrej campus in Vikhroli in Mumbai recently. The selling price ofis about Rs. 1,00,000 (USD1,610). The company has already got 50 pre-orders which should be delivered around March 2014.Brahma3 Anvil has a robust aluminium frame and is capable of printing large high-resolution models. With a build volume of 240x240x240mm, you can print models roughly the size of a football. It supports PLA, ABS, Nylon and other materials at temperatures of up to 350°. Running on a 7" Android tablet built into the brahma3, the team wants to bring the ecosystem into the printer eliminating the need to connect a computer to it. The Brahma3 Anvil could achieve a resolution of 50 micron per layer according to its makers.This is just the beginning of the 3D printing movement across the globe but one must take its dualities into account, wherein it could help in a lot of ways but the other side of the coin poses the ubiquitous question--what if people being to get their hands on items they shouldn't be?
