With Industry 4.0, 3D printing or additive manufacturing methods will be widely used not only for<br />

simulation, but also to produce small batches of customized products that offer construction<br />

advantages such as complex and lightweight designs.<br />

8.Augmented reality:<br />

machines. Google Oculus Rift and Microsoft Hololens are already playing big roles in helping<br />

companies improve their decision-making abilities and productivity by augmented reality. For<br />

extended arm of the humanly workforce. Robots take the form of mechanical arms in plants and on<br />
