3D printing is a free technology that is revolutionizing the world. Its possibilities are more infinite than the expected income itself and that augurs a great future for this technology.
In India, they are making excellent use of this technology, not only bringing it to impoverished areas but also introducing 3D printers into schools. This is having a significant impact on young people, many of whom are creating 3D printers inspired by the models found in Indian schools and colleges.
Not long ago, a 15-year-old boy managed to create a 3D printer model , an unusual and interesting feat for enthusiasts of this technology. This record has recently been broken, as a 12-year-old boy named Arya has managed to create his own 3D printer.
Arya is a boy from New Delhi who fell in love with 3D printing after seeing the 3D printer at his school. Following that, Arya spent 42 days creating and developing his own 3D printer— an affordable 3D printer that would allow him to work at home without relying on the school.
The resulting 3D printer has been named Cuxem, which means "Science" in Hindi. This 3D printer can print with any type of material except metal and can create figures up to 30 centimeters tall.
The development of this 3D printer is impressive but it is equally impressive that it was built by a 12-year-old boy. This being good proof that 3D Printing and Free Hardware is available to everyone, regardless of gender, economic resources or even age.
More and more schoolchildren are embracing open-source technologies, but it's true that the enthusiasm for these technologies is strongest in developing countries . Arym and India are certainly not the only ones with this interest, but will they be the ones to hold the world record? What do you think?
