Now VLEs can purchase 3D Printers from Digital Seva Portal.

During the Budget 2020-21 speech, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, "Technological tools like Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, 3D printing, drones, data storage, Quantum Computing are helping change the way the country functions."This will make India the third biggest pioneer in the world, with respect to the adoption of emerging technologies, after the United States and China. It has been felt that there are huge opportunities in the rural India in term of designing and manufacturing small equipment and parts.

With initiatives like Aatam Nirbhar Bharat and Make in India, the domestic manufacturing sector is being encouraged. This will automatically play a pivotal role in the growth of the local 3D printing industry.

CSCs are also acting as change agents and much more than service delivery points in rural India. Skilling on CAD and 3D Printing technology would explore more business opportunities for CSCs
