Huge opportunity in the 3D printing in India: Telangana Minister

Hyderabad, May 13 (UNI) Telangana IT and Industry Minister K Rama Rao on Friday said that India has a huge opportunity in the 3D printing segment to become a dominant player.

Through all these efforts, Telangana intends to get a jump start at this hugely promising sector and it is with this intent we established NCAM and conducted this key conference,” he added.

The day-long National Conference featured exhibitions of the latest 3D printing technology, panel discussions on the latest trends, applications and challenges of this technology in medicine and a round table between doctors, industry leaders and academic experts to discuss the roadmap for developing an ecosystem for additive manufacturing in medicine.
