Additive Manufacturing technologies in the medical secto r Introduction:          Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, also known as 3D printing, have revolutionised the manufacturing industry with its ability to create complex and customised objects quickly and efficiently. The use of AM technologies in the medical sector began in the late 1980s and early 1990s when medical professionals started using 3D printing to create models for surgical planning and education.      By the early 2000s, they were being used to create prosthetic limbs, orthotics, and dental implants. As the technology became more accessible, it advanced to create patient-specific implants, surgical guides, and other devices. Advancements in bioprinting and functional organs have been developed, leading to increased use in the medical sector. Future growth is expected in the field of AM technologies in the medical sector with more applications and advan...

    “DRAG AND LIFT FORCE ” Introduction: Drag Force: The drag force is present everywhere around us. We thrive in a ball of fluids (air and water). Drag forces appear whenever there is motion in air or water or in any other fluid.When objects travel through fluids (a gas or a liquid), they will undoubtedly encounter resistive forces called drag forces.The drag force always acts in the opposite direction to fluid flow. If the body’s motion exists in the fluid-like air, it is called aerodynamic drag. And, if the fluid is water, it is called hydrodynamic drag.                                                                                                                      ...
