3D printing is a process of making 3D objects from a digital file by laying down successive layers of material. The first 3D printer was created in 1984 by Charles Hull. Since then, 3D printing has advanced and become used in many industries like industrial design, automotive, aviation, architecture, food preparation, and medicine. There are different 3D printing methods like selective laser sintering, stereolithography, and fused deposition modeling. While 3D printing provides advantages like rapid prototyping, reduced waste, and ability to create complex shapes, it also faces challenges like slow speeds, weak components, and high costs of materials and printers. However, 3D printing is expected to become more commonplace in the future

3D printing is the technology to print layout of any design to check the accuracy of the design before implementing the same on a large scale design in order to save time and money. The procedure of the same is quite easy and can be carried out with great efficiency. Almost all designs can be formed using this technique unless it is too complex.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

turn concepts into 3D models or prototypes (a.k.a., rapid prototyping).
Clean process. Wastage of material is negligible.(oral ..)

EASY TO USE No skilled person needed.
REDUCE DESIGN COMPLEXITY
CHEAP Cheaper process than any other process.(oral…)
People in remote locations can fabricate objects that would otherwise be
inaccessible to them.
ADVANTAGES
50. Process is slow
Components do not have enough strength.
COST OF RAW MATERIALS
3-D printers are still expensive.
Misuse of technology
Although 3-D printers have the potential of creating many
jobs and opportunities, they might also put certain jobs at
risk .
Oral….below example
(for example, you can make your toys at home so toy stores and
toy makers might go out of business).
DISADVANTAGES
51. With today's 3D printers, if you lose your TV remote's battery cover
you can print a replacement battery cover. With tomorrow's, if you
lose your remote, you'll be able to print a new remote.
3D printers are always getting cheaper and better.
There is currently research going on to create 3D printers that
could print out organs for people in need of a transplant.
Within a decade, 3D printers will become commonplace in houses.
The benefits of such technology are endless.
FUTURE
52. Due to economies of scale, traditional
manufacturing techniques are likely to
always be much faster and far more
efficient when mass production is required.
Mass produced objects are still
substantially cheaper to manufacture than
their 3D-printed counterparts due to the
costs of feedstock material ($35-$45/kg ).
3D printers are extremely useful for
creating prototypes, highly customized
items, or small production runs.
Consumer could print dinner plates at
home, but would cost 30 times more than
simply buying them at a store.
3D printing is a lot like paper printing.
Making fifty copies on a printer or
photocopier is economical and reasonable,
but making a thousand copies shifts the
advantage to an offset press.

Resistance to change.
