3D printing technique is an emerging area of research. In the current scenario, people are targeting to use 3D printing process in manufacturing, surgical medicine, architecture and civil designing, molecular science, etc. 3D printing has been used as alternative method to manufacture components for use in experiments, machineries and vacuum components with demonstrated performance comparable to traditionally produced parts. 3D printing is used to manufacture moulds for making jewellery, and even the jewellery itself. It is used for designing models and spare parts by the automobile and many other manufacturing industries. The versatility of 3D printers is evident in the variety of ways they’re used today. The medical field alone has a number of uses for them. Surgeons are increasingly planning their operations by producing and reviewing 3D printed replicas of the physical problem being operated on. Using this method of preparation, surgeons can gather a better idea of what the surgery entails – reducing the likelihood of error. Printed models are also a more cost effective way for medical students to study human anatomy. Prosthetic limbs are increasingly being developed by way of 3D printing – bringing the latest cutting edge technology in functional prosthetics to entire communities of people that would otherwise not be able to afford or access the care they need. Fashion and interior designers are taking advantage of 3d printing to create remarkable products. The world of fashion, known for embracing the newest trends, has produced stylish high heels and chunky statement jewellery. Interior designers are building everything from ottomans to sets of tables and chairs. The furniture is more artistically inspired than its conventional counterparts, and it’s lighter too – one of the benefits of being printed. However, the pieces sacrifice nothing in terms of sturdiness. Because of their exacting structure, they are durable and sleek. Lamps have also found their way into the 3D printing market. Floor lamps, table lamps, ceiling lights, and wall lights have all been designed and printed. This project aims at developing a low cost prototype which can scan real world objects & plot its 3D model on a computer screen. Further this 3D model can be printed using 3D printer
