“ 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 :
A NEW ECONOMIC ORDER ? aka
" Start Up Act - 2015 " ……[ 12 Sept 2015 ]
It is late – but better
late than never !
With regards,
Hemen Parekh

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

# Re-name this Act as
" Human

, and make it applicable to any

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 /
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 ?

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 ?
