T Works, India’s largest prototyping centre, will be inaugurated at 5.30pm on Thursday by Foxconn chairman Young Liu in Hyderabad. The facility goals to handhold entrepreneurs as they make the journey from an concept to a product. The centre will assist to design and construct a prototype utilizing state-of-the-art tools, design instruments, and mentoring throughout fields.

For instance, they’ve superior 3D printing with the assistance of which you’ll manufacture your prototype inside a really quick time. If you need to make a water bottle from steel, you will have to dedicate not less than some three weeks to it. There will be numerous levels like design and fabrication. But with a 3D printer, you may get the identical prototype inside a day.
