The digital revolution has arrived! 2D visualization has given way to 3D image realization. The gap between imagination and reality is slowly but surely closing, with 3D ‘object printing’ being fancied as the next big-thing. Envisage a future where printers would act as smale scale factories, where you can produce objects as easily as printing a poster. All of these might sound far-fetched for the skeptic inside you, but the fact remains that CAID would transform the way printers function. Computer Aided Industrial Design is expected to offer opportunities to translate virtual interfaces into tangible creations. In Touch Interactive’s concept, intelligent 3D ink tubes are placed around the printer surface to create objects with material charateristics. And the design is built with the help of tools that are present around the creative table. Any manipulation, sketching or editing can be performed on the 3D models with these tools.

Technological evolution has always been a by-product of unrestrained imagination. Going by what we have seen in the past decade or so, 3D printing would certainly not be confined just to figments of imagination. It is just a matter of time before humans and computers interact in a manner that defies logic.
