Additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3d printing, is a manufacturing
technique that rises in the 1980’s mainly focused on engineering prototyping. Current
advances in the precision and cost of the techniques, as well as the widespread use of 3d
designing have increased 3d printing’s scope of use from high-end engineering prototypes
to a large variety of uses in manufacturing. 3d printing improve the processing time,
decrease waste, and increase the level of customization of certain products by eliminating
the need for the specialty tooling and dies that are traditionally used in manufacturing. In
addition, the ability to physically print difficult shapes based on a computer model has
given rise to new products that would otherwise be simply impossible to create. The
various fields have taken advantage of this technology by printing 3d objects.
A brief presentation on 3D Printing technology.
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.
The presentation contains all the data about 3D printing. How it is done, what are the various ways of 3D printing process along with its Advantage & Disadvantage, type of raw material used, etc....
The use of 3D printing is gradually increasing and the technologies developed in the 3D printing also increases. This presentation is about the various technologies present the market.

The diversity of South Africa is on one hand a treasure that should be preserved and people still do recognize its importance and carry forward their cultural values. On the other hand, the very same diversity is a challenge for policy makers, marketers, advertisers, government and other institutions that want to reach out to greater masses and those who look for scalability.
However, the “mobile first” generation is the answer. The mobile revolution has introduced the people in South Africa to the power of social media, enabled them to open and operate bank accounts, helped them level their healthcare needs and now it is being used in many more avenues with greater possibilities.
This report aggregates the current trends to showcase the possibilities. Further on, it challenges the designers and innovators by planting the Brainstorming Seeds that will grow on to become possibilities of tomorrow—to build a more prosperous and vibrant Rainbow Nation!
By the year 2050, the world’s population is projected to swell to 9 billion. 80% of us will be urban-dwellers. Demand from developing countries for a wider range of foods is on the rise. Experts estimate that we will need new farmland larger than the size of Brazil to produce enough to meet the demands of growing populations.
Food security therefore represents one of the single biggest challenges of our future, with environmental, economic, political, and lifestyle implications.
How will we fix our broken and unsustainable systems of industrial food production to serve the needs of an ever-growing planet? In what ways will we rethink food via new practices and new technologies? This latest report from the Institute for Customer Experience considers how we are re-imagining our food practices in order to project anew our collective, global future.
Love is a very complex emotion to decode. Or is it?
Machines and their relationship with humans have been explored in great detail. However the impact of machines on the future of love and the connection between technology and emotions seem more pertinent now than before.

Is our current materialistic lifestyle sustainable for our planet? How long can we continue to do things that make us feel good, but that are harmful and not sustainable for our environment? We need to start seeing our interests and nature’s interest as one and the same.
At, HFI’s Institute of Customer Experience (ICE) we believe that there is hope to turn things around from leading a materialistic lifestyle that is indifferent to the planet to leading a sustainable lifestyle; and we have that hope in people. So we went out searching for people from around the world who do live a sustainable lifestyle, and it shows in their work and in their personal lives each day. They are ordinary people, but with a refreshing new mindset, which makes them extraordinary. They are cleaning up our planet, making it a better place to live in, and empathizing with nature all along the way. They mobilize others into action and have drawn many to their work.
We at ICE believe that these people are the “Trendsetters for Sustainable Lifestyles”. Through the eight photobooks that follow we want to showcase their work to the world for the simple and elegant ways in which they have made a difference to the planet as individuals. They are doing their bit and as a result have positively affected communities and the environment around them. We hope they inspire our readers the way that they have inspired us. If we can learn from sustainability being their state of mind and from their work, we can make changes in our lives and fields of work to start living in a manner that will keep Earth a beautiful and habitable place for us for a very long time to come.
As part of Institute of Customer Experience, we are constantly on the look out for opportunities that give us an insight into the future of things. We wanted to explore the concept of “beginner’s mind” which is said to be an attitude of openness, eagerness and lack of preconceptions and realized that it was the mind of a child that we wanted a peek into.
We ideated and devised a unique way of getting children to give us their insights about what they think will happen in the future. The result was a board game called “The Trip to the Future” which we used to conduct “playshops”. This method got us very exciting responses. We would love to take you through the journey.
Taking off our from our ICE breaker on Child's Play of the Future, here we present five futuristic scenarios of a highly intelligent and self-adapting toy and its interactions with a child.
We come across dozens of design breakthroughs and technological innovations daily--so many that it's easy to miss important trends emerging in the chaos all around us and not connect the dots to see the BIG picture.
Here at The Institute for Customer Experience (ICE), we understand the business and design value of capturing the right trend insights at the right moment. We observe and analyse trends in design, technology, and business, and keep our fingers on the pulse of the global zeitgeist. In this series of trendbriefs, we bring you alerts on what's trending in our world and their possible impact on our future.

Lifelogging is the practice of tracking personal data generated by our own behavioral activities in continuous digital streams. As it is slowly becoming mainstream, it raises a lot of intriguing questions and thoughts.
Lifelogging and self-tracking are altering the Futures of:
Memory,
Remembering,
Forgetting,
Storytelling,
Privacy,
Law enforcement,
Governance,
Bodies,
and our very Humanness.
This report explores these questions, thoughts and futures.
How will the future of politics and political campaigning look like? Who will be the heroes in the future political battles? Where will the battle take place - on the streets or in the virtual world? What weapons will the future political parties use?
In this report, the Institute of Customer Experience raises many of such questions and presents possible scenarios that might become a reality given the present trends.
Wellness, in today’s context, is much more than diagnosing and curing poor health or diseases. It is a multidimensional and holistic state of being that is conscious, self-directed, and constantly evolving. Trying to make sense of wellness in a world of rising healthcare costs, shortage of wellness professionals, and technological advances in everything from computing to genetics, gives rise to several pertinent questions.
-- Will there still be any universally recognized concept of wellness? Or will it be hyper personalized to each individual's environments, genetics, and experiences?
-- What will wellness look and feel like in the future? What will be the new indicators of wellness?
-- As people experience enhanced wellness, will they become more self-aware and adopt additional experiences that will promote wellness?
-- Will we be more in control of our well-being? Or will we stop caring in a world where every aspect of our person is closely and constantly monitored and serviced?
-- As roles in the wellness ecosystem shift, what are the new well-being authorities and environments that will emerge?
-- Will big data around wellness help create better early warning systems about potential pandemics? Or will there be a drive to protect and hide our personal wellness and risk profiles online?
-- Will we ever be 'unwell', given all the new technologies to enhance (as well as prevent) wellness that will be in place?
-- Will we prefer being looked after and treated by robotic care givers/surgeons?
We attempt to answer these questions through 10 current trends we have identified, which will impact the course of wellness in the future.

World population is growing continuously with more people living on the Earth than ever before. In 2007, humanity’s total ecological footprint was estimated at 1.5 planet Earths. Resources are becoming increasingly valuable as the Earth is the only source till date and others planets are still to become a viable source of these resources.
Projections estimate that we will need the equivalent of two planets by 2030 to meet our annual demands. The only way, we can reduce our footprint is by producing more with less, and consuming better, wiser and less - the way forward is better and 'frugal' choices!
In this report, we present the trends that encourage better choices; trends in Frugal Innovations, 'Jugaad' and Do-It-Yourself are explored to see how and where we can make our better choices for the future.
We conclude our report with 3 thought provoking future scenarios.
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to various processes used to synthesize a three-dimensional object.[1] In 3D printing, successive layers of material are formed under computer control to create an object.[2] These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry and are produced from a 3D model or other electronic data source. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot.

Incarceration has historically been about punishment but recently the trend has shifted towards reform, schooling, and an entrepreneurial spirit. In this report, we look at trends in prison experiences, technology, as well as edtech and entrepreneurship in prisons. Prisons are increasingly enabling inmates to get a vocational training, degrees, and even healing. No longer are inmates looked upon as "less than human" but there is a curiosity about their minds and views that are pro-reform so that they integrate well into society on their release. We then forecast three scenarios on mass incarceration in 2040.
The potential unemployment owing to automation and improvements in ICTs is likely to be more drastic than earlier rounds of automation. Will people be redundant at the workplace? Is this likely to lead to unemployment and strife? Or can we use this opportunity to explore more art, travel, have more fun, in short be more human?
In 2013, the Institute of Customer Experience designed a board game called “Trip to the Future” which was used to conduct “playshops” for children to get insights into how children’s minds work in visualizing the future.
Three years later, at Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2016 held in Mumbai, we had an opportunity to conduct two similar playshops—one for an NGO called Akanksha and the second for the KGAF 2016 festival children.
The responses we received were intriguing and actually point to current trends in 2016, indicating the directions in which technology will evolve in the future.
Response-Trend that emerged:
1. Practical space exploration
2. Beneficial intelligence
3. Maker movement (3D printing)
4. Space-saving automated tech
5. Cognitive Internet of Things
6. Immersive screen display
7. Augmented knowledge (and immortality)
This report looks at the disruptive potential of automated vehicles: their impact on commuters, car companies, vehicle design and urban planning. It warns of the potential dangers of their unbridled proliferation and prerequisites to their effective deployment.
The Technological Singularity is a future point in time when technology will rapidly improve itself to surpass human intelligence, changing human life as we know it. In this report, the following topics are covered:
What is the Singularity?
How is it predicted?
What are its implications?
What does it mean for human evolution?
What when it happens: Utopia or doom?
Beginnings of the Singularity
Questions that arise
How will food and everything related to food will look like in future? What role will technology and innovation play in making people more conscious about what they eat?
What will be the food ecosystem of the future?
The current generation is getting health conscious and the same has been started reflecting in all the new age innovations.
In this report by the Institute of Customer Experience (ICE), we explore how the ecosystem around food will evolve and what are the key signals around this ecosystem.
As various smart home technology companies spring up in India, in this report, we explore how smart homes can benefit the elderly by listing the cultural dimensions of the elderly in India and taking a closer look at a model for elderly care in Norway for inspiration.
We come across dozens of design breakthroughs and technological innovations daily--so many that it's easy to miss important trends emerging in the chaos all around us and not connect the dots to see the BIG picture.

What if, in the future…
• “We”go on to live for a long time, and become our own future? There are no children?
• We forget what a “child”is?
• Children are no longer ‘born’ but manufactured? A child becomes a technological marvel?
• All the beauty inside (and outside) can be fabricated, can be artificially modified,and can be quantified?
Our latest report explores the future of children. We look forward to hear your comments, views and opinions.
The history of sports probably extends as far back as the existence of people as active beings. The history of sports informs a great deal about social changes and about the nature of sport itself.
In the current era, as technology changes at an exponential rate, the social impacts are varied and deep rooted. This implies a great deal of change in sports too.
As we move into the era of robotics, machines, transhumans, cyborgs, prosthetics and exoskeletons, the future of sports seems even more disrupted. And it raises questions at different levels.
On the ground level, how will sports and sports-viewing experiences evolve? On the next level, how will the sportsperson of the future look like? And on a much higher level, we raise questions on ethics in sports, sportsmanship, and team spirit.
As an initiative for International Women's day (March 8), we thought of compiling brief statements on gender futures as each one of us visualizes and envisions these.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
2. ―3D printing‖ or ―Additive Manufacturing‖ takes digital input in the form of
Computer Aided Design (CAD) model and creates solid, three dimensional
parts through an additive, layer by layer process.
3. A person creates a 3D image
of an item using a computer-
aided design (CAD) software
program.
The CAD information is sent
to the printer.
The printer forms the item
by depositing the material in
layers—starting from the
bottom layer—onto a
platform. In some cases light
or lasers are used to harden
the material.

Projected Growth
8. Concept Modeling
Use:
Concept modeling lets small design
and engineering firms extend their
reach by testing out more ideas and
developing only the right projects. For
large companies, concept modeling
within departments — or even in
individual cubicles — is a way to hone
ideas before presenting them to
superiors.
Example:
California-based 3D Reprographics
makes architectural models for its
clients. They found 3D printing to be a
great fit for making a strong accurate
presentation model.
9. Use:
Functional prototyping helps in
creating amazingly realistic
prototypes with the look and feel of
a real product.
Example:
Lamborghini, while developing its
new flagship model Aventador in
2011, made extensive use of 3D
printing technology to build a
functional prototype of the car.
Functional Prototyping
10. Use:
Quick, low-volume tooling and
custom fixtures give
manufacturers the flexibility to
embrace more opportunities.
Example:
Xerox introduced a low-volume
printer to serve a specialized
market. 3D printing offered quick
solutions with 350 components
printed and generated within 1
hour for testing of the new
machine.
Manufacturing Tools
11. End Use Parts Use:
3D printing is capable of
building the most durable,
stable, and repeatable parts in
the industry, whose accuracy
can be compared with injection
molding.
Example:
Kelly Manufacturing Company
(KMC), the world’s largest
manufacturer of general aviation
instruments, makes extensive use
of 3D printing by producing
prototypes of critical components
for an aircraft quickly; the process
would otherwise take an
estimated 3-4 weeks.
12. Finishing Use:
Sealing, polishing and painting
expand the possibilities of
what a 3D printer is capable of.
Example:
Product Development
Solutions (PDS) specializes in
supplying components to a
wide range of industries
including medical and
aerospace. It makes extensive
use of 3D printing technology
in finishing and painting the
parts for a better look and feel
of components.

at Princeton University explored 3D
printing of cells and nano particles,
creating the bionic ear.

18. Secrets of the Heart
Laura Olivieri, a pediatric cardiologist
at the Children's National Medical
Center in Washington DC (which spent
$250,000 on the 3D printer) says that
these replica hearts are ideal for dry
runs of complex operations, allowing
the surgeon to see beforehand the
exact anatomical landscape they will
have to navigate.

24. Print @ Home
Microsoft will provide support for 3D
printers in the next update of its
Windows 8 operating system. The firm
has struck deals with a number of
major 3D printer makers including
Makerbot, 3D Systems, Formlabs,
Dassault and Stratasys. Under the
deal they will develop automatically-
loading driver software that will ease
3D printer set-up at home.

25. Personalized Robots
The use of 3D printing technology has
greatly expanded the possibilities for
wing design, allowing wing shapes to
replicate those of real insects or
virtually any other shape. It has also
reduced the time of a wing design
cycle to a matter of minutes. An insect
made up of 3D printed parts with a
mass of 3.89g has been constructed
using the 3D printing technique and
has demonstrated an 85-second
passively stable untethered flight. In
the future, we can see more robots
that will crawl, fly and roll out of
printers in homes and labs around the
world.

26. Pottery
Unfold, a design firm based in
Belgium, collaborated with Tim
Knapen to create a machine that
enables users to sculpt virtually. ―The
Electronic Artisan‖ is made of a 3D
laser scanner and a RepRap, which is
a printer that can create objects in
three dimensions. Virtual artisanship is
made possible by the use of software
that tracks hand movement and
printing methods that mimic age-old
techniques.

27. Components on Demand
To prepare for a future where parts
can be built on-demand in space,
Made in Space, the space
manufacturing company, has
partnered with NASA’s Marshall Space
Flight Center to launch the first 3D
printer to space. Made in Space’s
customized 3D printer will be the first
device to manufacture parts away
from planet Earth. The 3D printing in
Zero-G Experiment will validate the
capability of additive manufacturing
(AM) in zero-gravity.

28. A Car That Builds Itself
Designers and makers have been
busy imagining uses for 3D printers,
ranging from casts to houses to duck
feet. Vehicle designer Nir Siegel
doesn't just want to 3D-print cars, he
wants them to assemble themselves.
The Genesis car concept is just an
idea right now, but it's an intriguing
concept. As 3D printers advance, we
inch closer to a sci-fi future where you
could call up Audi or Toyota, order a
car and have it delivered, ready to
create itself to match your desires.

WikiHouse is an open source
construction set being developed
collaboratively by a small, but growing,
community of people all around the
world. There is no fixed design ―team‖
or ―studio,‖ but a steadily growing
community of designers from all
disciplines. They all share a common
belief that developing freely available
design solutions which are affordable,
sustainable and adaptive to differing
needs is a worthwhile aim.
30. Eyes on You
New technologies using Unmanned
Aircraft Vehicles (UAV) could create a
new, cost-effective and reliable
monitoring service. Researchers at
University of Southampton, UK have
created a new 3D printed drone, called
2Seas, that could soon be used by
maritime security organizations. The
heart of 2Seas – the central wing box,
fuel tank and engine mountings – was
3D-printed, the wings and tail are
made from carbon fiber.

& Space
Home-built drones are very popular
among hobbyists with backgrounds in
electronics and robotics. Jasper van
Loenen, an independent designer
working in the field of interaction
design and art, wanted to make the
design simpler so anyone could make
their own robots. Van Loenen created
a custom DIY (Drone It Yourself) v1.0
kit that turns any object into an
unmanned aerial vehicle, simply by
attaching four motors and a control
unit – no technical know-how needed.

32. ―Liberator‖
Defense Distributed successfully test
fired the world's first 3D-printed
handgun named Liberator.
All 16 parts of the gun are made from
a tough, heat-resistant plastic used in
products such as musical instruments,
kitchen appliances and vehicle
bumper bars. Fifteen of those are
made with a 3D printer while one is a
non-functional metal part which can be
picked up by metal detectors, making
it legal under U.S. law. The firing pin is
also not made of plastic, though it is
easily crafted from a metal nail.

33. 3D-printed Lunar Base
Building a base on the moon could
theoretically be made much simpler by
using a 3D printer to construct it from
local materials. The concept was
recently endorsed by the European
Space Agency (ESA) which is now
collaborating with architects to gauge
the feasibility of 3D printing using lunar
soil.
―3D printing offers a potential means
of facilitating lunar settlement with
reduced logistics from Earth,‖ said
Scott Hovland of ESA’s human
spaceflight team.

35. Design Your Own Clothes
Designed by Joshua Harris, an
industrial engineer, for an Electrolux
design competition in 2010, the
concept printer would not only print out
clothing, but would recycle used
clothing as well. The idea is that the
fashion designers of the future will
sell cartridges for the printer
containing colors and materials to use
with their digital designs!
Joshua envisions this printer in homes

Fashion designer Iris van Herpen and
shoe designer Rem D Koolhaas have
collaborated to create 3D-printed
shoes that look like tree roots. The
shoes were presented at Paris
Fashion Week during Iris van Herpen's
couture show.
Van Herpen is one of the first fashion
designers to experiment with 3D
printing. In an interview with a
magazine, she says, ―Everybody could
have their own body scanned and just
order clothes that fit perfectly.‖

37. That’s Sweet!
Los Angeles architects Kyle and Liz
von Hasseln have set up a business
that produces 3D-printed sugar
sculptures for wedding cakes, table
centerpieces and pie toppings.
This way 3D printing transforms sugar
into a structural and sculptural
medium. In future, it can define the
form of the food instead of the food
defining the structure.

38. Space Food
NASA can send robots to Mars with no
worries about the food. However, if it's
ever going to put humans on the red
planet, then it has to figure out how to
feed them over the course of year-long
missions. So the space agency has
funded research for a 3D printer that
creates entrees or desserts at the
touch of a button. In this way, NASA
seeks inspiration from the concept of
the Food Replicator from the movie
Star Trek.

39. Fab ―Food‖ at Home
The 3D food printer is part of the
fab@home series by Cornell
university's computational synthesis
lab. Headed by Dr. Jeffrey Ian Lipton,
the team's fab@home technology,
designed as a collection of open-
source rapid prototyping systems,
allows three-dimensional objects to be
―printed‖ by a syringe, whose
movements are determined from
computer blueprints and models.
Layering lines of material ultimately
generate a three-dimensional object in
a process they call ―solid freeform
fabrication.‖
fab@home machines have already
been used to print chocolates,
cookies, and even domes of turkey
meat.

43. Amanda’s Wandering Home
Amanda is a 25-year-old enthusiastic architect
who works as a freelance consultant. She never
wanted to stay in one place and called herself ―the
wanderer‖!
So, when she decided to build her own home, she
thought she wanted something very unique and a
home that was a wanderer in itself.
After a detailed research she built herself a 3D
printer that she could finally call her home! A 3D
printer, a home?!
The 3D printer was the central component of her
caravan styled home. The ―caravan‖ had been 3D
printed by the printer around itself. The built-in
shredder could shred the components of the home
that she wanted to modify or remove.
Whenever she wanted to be on the move again,
the 3D printer would print out the engine to move
the caravan. In stationary state, the 3D printer
would print out energy generation systems like
solar panels and wind turbines.
She woke up with the buzz of the printer that
printed out her clothes for the day and she slept off
with the hum of the printer shredding off the waste
generated during the day, hence getting raw
44. Remya – 1st 3D Printed Human
Remya is a 1-day-old daughter of the
next-gen 3D printer system called
―Behold.‖
Behold got released in the year 2050 and
became an instant hit with people who
wanted an extended life by printing out
worn out organs and tissues.
One day, a childless couple decided to
―print‖ much more than just organs. They
got source codes and designs of all the
organs and tissues required in a human
body from an open source Creative
Commons platform. They assembled the
parts together on a Design Software and
named the file ―Remya.‖ Next, they just hit
the ―print‖ button!
The whole process took 9 days. At last
they had a fully grown child that they
called Remya. That’s when the real
problems started- the printer started
showing them the status message,
