This news report explores the question of whether the warmth and care of traditional artisans will be replaced in an age where 3D printing technology can reproduce handmade artworks in mere hours. Anshuman Kumar, a Red Dot-winning product designer, and Dr. Jennifer Olsen, a professor of Mechanical Engineering, bluntly state: “Machines can imitate form, but they cannot replicate human creativity and touch.” They reveal how they are cracking the code of survival in the technological age—not by fighting technology, but by empowering it.
