3DP has become popular on manufacturing platform that enables users to create customizable products through digital design.  In context of 3DP's application in developing countries, Nepal is at an early stage.  This paper presents a brief review of 3DP technology and case study conducted through survey on application of 3DP in Nepalese environment. The research showed presently professional and research based organization holds higher coverage among 40 different organizations spread over seven districts of the country. Though the technology is in use since 2011, it was found increasing from 2015 only. Product examples of 3DP application in Nepal were found more concerned to medical consumables and student project components. The findings of research are discussed plotting different graphs and moreover concluded with brief opportunity and challenges of using 3DP in Nepal.

Innovation And Entrepreneurship

Higher Education Institutions (HEI’s) in many countries are drivers of innovative development economy. The innovative activity of HEI depends on both internal and external factors. Today, more and more emphasis is placed on innovative ecosystems, in which the HEI acts as one of the active actors in cooperation with business, government, public and private organizations. The research case study paper explores and compares the approaches development of regional innovation ecosystem of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) Innovation and Entrepreneurship Teaching initiative, as well as an assessment of its impact on the results of this particular innovation method at the HCT. The case study reveals on the topic of using and adapting 3D printing technologies in the field of education. 3D printing technologies can be applied to teach technological skills in different fields, including the field of education. They also contribute to the reorientation of attention from the digital or virtual environment to the real world, since the results of educational activities are not sketches and models, but real objects with given characteristics. 3D printing technologies are among the fastest growing and promising technologies. These technologies can significantly contribute to the introduction of new forms of organization of the educational process, increase motivation and the formation of the necessary competencies of learners, graduates and teaching faculties. The objective of this paper is to review the basic issues related to 3D printing technology initiative as a process of technological transition though integrating the technological innovation into the educational ecosystem and measuring its impact on students. The paper elaborates this practical showcase experience through a case study of ‘Al Ibtikar’ – Innovation and Entrepreneurship Club at HCT to provide empirical support for similar industrial and education players to better predict the innovation trajectory through 3D technologies in the future. In this way, the research presents a conceptual framework that provides a foundation for discussing 3D technology and discover a development prediction of 3D printing technology in the lens of using this practice in the educational process.

Purpose The national technology accumulation pattern in three-dimensional (3D) printing technology field has not yet been studied until now. This paper is to fill this gap. To be specific, the purpose of this paper is to answer the following two questions. What is the comparative advantage of 3D printing technology among countries? What is the relative impact of 3D printing technology in the worldwide? Design/methodology/approach Patent bibliometric analysis was used for analyzing and collecting data to find critical information of 3D printing. Some indicators (RTA, FSGI, RII, CV) have been applied in analyzing the national patterns of technology accumulation in developed and developing countries by using patent statistics. Findings First, the USA, Japan, and Germany are the leading countries in 3D printing technology, while the technology accumulation patterns of these countries are rather different. Second, Israel and Italy have good performance in the fast-growing technology sub-fields. Third, although the number of patents owned by developing countries, such as China and Russia, is not few, the citations received by these patents are low. Research limitations/implications A limitation of this study is that technological development can be reflected by many indicators and patent statistic is merely one reflection form. This study just analyzes the 3D printing technology development from the perspective of patent statistic, the authors would like to continue the comprehensive analysis with the other data indicators in a future study. Originality/value The national technology accumulation pattern in 3D printing technology field has not yet been studied until now. This paper is to fill this gap.
