Summary

Additive manufacturing in the academia and UG

teaching is still at an infancy stage

Additive Manufacturing is a global technology with a lot
f relevance in the industry.
It is multidisciplinary.
There is a need for a group that will act as crusaders to

champion its inclusion in the curriculum of the relevant courses for the country to fully reap from its enormous benefits.
