With the necessary evolution of human life, the advancement of technology has evolved into the only way to move forward and continually survive. One such pattern of technological evolution is the much spoken about 3D printing.
If you really zero in the origination of 3D printing, you will realise that the concept of 3D printing comes from the singular notion of need. There is an increasing need to create products, models, prototypes; since it has become more important currently. Likewise, it was only a matter of time that these numerous benefits to using 3D printing, has led to the inherent belief that 3D printing will become a way of life and education too.
Here are some ways through which 3D printing can transform our lives in the next 10 years:
1. The Burgeoning field of Biotechnology
Like all kinds of technology, the advent of 3D printing is a massive paradigmatic shift and a revolutionary change. As you can see, in the field of biotechnology and biochemistry, the value of 3D printing is increasing day by day.
In fact, did you know that scientists predict that it will be the only way forward for this field? Read on to understand this further!
As we are well aware, Biotechnology is an integral group of studies that supports the data from biology and harnesses it to drive solutions. In this field, the importance of technology is at an all-time high. Therefore, the usage of 3D printing here can be understood in the sense that it allows the creation of tissues and cells by using a 3D printing method. By depositing each layer, biotechnology can create medical parts with the ability to create tissues of similar properties as the natural human body. These structures have applications in multiple fields, such as tissue engineering, medical engineering and so on. Due to the importance placed on this 3D printing in the biotechnology field, the way to master is also a meticulous process. Very few universities offer a thoroughly planned curriculum with enough exposure to practice. Garden City University ‘s B.Sc. in Biotechnology, Biochemistry & Genetics is a unique course which is packed with an advanced framework that helps students get a first-hand understanding of the industry.
Through this course, even though the students can’t understand how 3D printing works and the scenarios that revolve around 3D printing, but it gives a thorough insight into the associated disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics and so on. What we need to understand is that there is no singular focus when it comes to this field. It is absolutely necessary to know in detail about all the important associate disciplines, or else contributing to the field will be a slow process.
Garden City University offers a well-researched curriculum to support this.
What in fact makes this a further step is that the university also offers a Masters in Biotechnology, as well as a Doctorate in Biotechnology. Here they go beyond and offer an advanced curriculum including but not restricted to their B.Sc. course. They have also included studies of Immunology & Immuno-technology, Plant Biotechnology & Agricultural Biotechnology, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics & Research Methodology, Genetic Engineering, Proteomics & Genomics, Animal Biotechnology and so on.
2. Of Forensics and more!
Being a forensic professional is the ability, or perhaps art, of seeing the fine lines. There is always a need to include technology in this sector because there is only so much that humans can derive. For example, if humans perish due to some big disaster that will change them into an irreversible skeleton, it will be definitely difficult to examine the object and derive findings.
You know what 3D printing can do – it is to utilize it entirely reconstruct as well as replicate the object. Facial reconstruction is necessary for this field, and this is something that 3D printing can help with by using unidentified skeletal remains.
A course around this topic needs to be carefully packed with up-to-date data, as well as the necessary exposure to master the studies. Unfortunately for us, not many universities in India offer this, for the research behind the topic has to be extensive. Garden City university offers a detailed and particularly researched degree on this topic. In fact, like most of their other courses, they also offer M.Sc. in Forensics, which helps students turn into all-round forensic experts.

3. Molecular way ahead!
If you travel back in time and drive nostalgic wave to back in school, you would remember that we were informed about the importance of molecules.
Seemed simple back, then right?
Molecules are a “group of atoms bonded together’, a very easy way to explain a highly complicated field of studies. Without certain molecules, cells and organisms cannot survive. This is essentially to say that removing the life of molecules will yield massive destruction to human and animal life, perhaps even go beyond to say atmospheric destruction.
Therefore, the level of importance of molecular studies has always been massive. With the increasing advancement of 3D printing, it was realized that this is yet another aspect that can be included in molecular studies. Hence, upon incorporating it, the outcomes were tremendous.
Garden City offers the right course for those interested in the field of molecular and human genetic sciences, with the necessary advanced modules in research, technical assistance and of course, highly knowledgeable professors. It is one of the best courses offered in the country, with special importance provided to 3D printing. Upon completing B.Sc. in Molecular and Human
Genetics, students are in fact encouraged to study further. The university also offers a Master’s program in the same field (M.Sc. in Molecular and Human Genetics).
Such courses help students to excel in the field, and academic excellence such as accomplishing degrees from a university as reputed as Garden City University will push students to strive further and create a difference in this field.

The future is 3D printing.
Without a doubt, we can say that there truly is no limit to science and wonderful discoveries of 3D printing. However, the level of importance in this field is not supported by the quality and number of universities that prepare children for it. Garden city University continues to be one of the very few universities that have paved the right path for children who are interested in these associated fields. The future is definitely going to depend on 3D printing since we have already started leaning towards the field. We need to be ready, and Garden City University is a step forward in the right direction. So, the question is – what are you waiting for?
