 It is my pleasure to introduce today the exceptional team that has emerged victorious in the Smart India hackathon showcasing unparalleled innovation in the realm of renewable and sustainable energy. The triumph not only highlights their technical prowess, but also underscores their commitment to steering our collective future towards greener, more sustainable pastures. Without wasting any more time, let me introduce Atul Sani and his team. Hello sir, my name is Divyaan Srivadav and I have done research work in this project. Hello sir, my name is Aditya Gautam and I did the hardware integration part of this project. Hello sir, my name is Aryan Nakhizha and I design this part. Hello sir, my name is Atul Sani, I am the team leader of this project and I have done 3D modeling in this project. Hello sir, Myself Vain Varanika and I am doing the presentation in this project. Well it's my pleasure to meet all of you today here. So let us start by discussing the problem that you were dealing with. What exactly was the issue? What exactly was the problem that you were supposed to handle and come up with a solution for it? So sir, as you know the world is facing a plastic crisis over 1.3 million tons of waste plastic water bottles are generated in India by which only 30% of them is recycled. Samantine is in the field of 3D printing filament is growing rapidly. Which demands a versatile and affordable supply of 8-0 materials? So yeah, certainly the plastic waste is definitely a huge problem. Yes sir. The world is suffering from that menace and I guess a lot of work is also happening in their direction. So it will be interesting to know what you guys have done, what you guys have come up with as a solution. So what is the solution that they have come up with? So sir, we are converting waste plastic water bottles into a 3D printing filament that will be provided at cheaper rates according to its compatible material and with a better quality. So Aditya will explain the method how we are converting these. Yeah, surely we will look forward to the way you are doing this, the way you are approaching this particular thing. Aditya? Okay, so first of all I would like to introduce about the 3D printing, what's a 3D printing market and all. So 3D printing is an additive manufacturing technique by which we can make prototypes very rapidly as compared to other modelling techniques like playing and all. And also the market of the 3D printing is rapidly increasing. Like if we see the global market of the 3D printing it's around 93 billion dollars and it's projected in 2030 around to 90 billion dollars. And also in India it's a good market like currently it's around 80 million dollars but it will rise rapidly in the future. So as we are seeing the future, so we came up with the idea, so why not we just convert a waste plastic bottle into something useful. So for that we are making the 3D printing filament, so what's a filament? So basically for the 3D printing we need something raw material. So the raw material is a filament, like there are many different types of 3D printing like SLA, FDM and all. So we are mainly focusing on FDM that is Fuse Deposition Modeling. So for that we are converting plastic bottles into the raw materials. So for converting the plastic bottle into the material for the 3D printing we have come up with this idea this is a machine. So basically how this is work? So basically first we took a bottle like a bisleri bottle and all and then we cut the dead bottle into a strip like this is the bisleri bottle. We cut into the strip with the use of this part. After cutting the strip we have to convert this rectangular sheet into a cylindrical because a filament is in the cylindrical cross section area. For converting that we use the extrusion process. For the extrusion we use the heating process, for the heating there is the heating heater here. So when we pass the strip through the heater it will melt the strip and it will convert into the cylindrical form as the nozzle of the heater is in the cylindrical form. So after the filament is converted into the cylindrical cross section area after that we have to look one thing very carefully the diameter of the filament. So it should be around 1.6 to 1.75 mm because below that the cross section area it will it won't work. So measuring the diameter of the filament we use the measuring machine here. So it's a measuring caliper by this we can measure see what's the current diameter of the filament. Now I just want to understand here if the diameter is not to that measure that you are saying what happens then if it is lesser or greater than that. So in the FTM 3D printer there is an extruder that grips the filament and it pushes into the heater material. If the filament diameter is less than the requirement then it won't grip the filament accordingly and if the diameter is too big than the 1.75 then it won't travel through the heat rail. Okay so now you can carry on. Okay so after taking the measurement if the measurement is good we will just simply wind the out coming the filament on this spool. And there is an automated spool and it will automatically wound the filament around this spool. So after that we will get our filament. This is of the filament that can be directly used in the 3D printer. So this is your final product which actually traveled from a waste plastic bottle turned into a particular kind of raw material for you. That raw material gets turned into this particular filament which is your product. Yes sir. Wonderful. So the process seems pretty effective and neat. So I can see you brought a prototype here. So can we actually have a look at how it's working exactly the practical part of the solution. So we just talked about what 3D printing is and what we are doing in 3D printing. So this is our machine so I will explain you a little bit about it. What are the parts in it. So first we have our cutting station. From here we convert the bottle into a strip. Then after converting it into a strip we have our heating station. Here we have our heater through which we will convert our strip into filament. Then we have our cooling station. Here we have our cooling fan so that we can retain that shape. Then after that we have our caliper station. Here we measure if the diameter of the filament is appropriate or not. Then we have our this is the guiding pulley. Then we have our winding station. Here we will wind our final product on this pole. And here we have our control unit. So here you can see two displays. So on the display we have our winding. The motor which is written on it. And on the lower display we can see the current of the heater and the diameter. Okay great. So can we run it? Okay. So as you can see on the display here our heater is heating up. Like our temperature is around 240 degrees Celsius. Now the temperature is increasing. Then after our temperature will be stable around 240 then we can start the process. So as we have heated our bottle in a strip. This is our strip. We will directly pass this strip through our heater. So as we can see our temperature is around 240. Okay. So after that we have to pull the starting manual once. Then automatically our filament will be ready. Okay. So like our winding machine is working. Then automatically our extrude will be pulled. Then our filament will be winding. I mean the motor is a little slow. So that the force we get in the appropriate force. So that our diameter is our LZ. Okay. So great. So I can see that it is very effective. You have worked hard to make it. Now what I would like to understand is that how will it be different from any other filament that you are going to make. So is it going to be better in terms of quality or is it going to be cheaper than the other ones? How will it be different? Okay. So the difference I understand and I appreciate is that you are using recycled material. So that is there. So apart from that. Okay. So simply first I would like to clarify that filament that is used in 3D printing is different for different applications like there are PLA, Nylon, ABS, PETG and TPU. All of them have their own purposes. So while we are focusing on the PETG that is polyethylene tethered. So when we compare both of them like the market ready PETG and the PET that we are producing both have the same property and if we talking about the price, the price of our filament will be half of the market, the other commercial that we can get from the market filament. Great. So basically you recycle waste material, you are producing a tangible product from its use and producing half the price. So this is I think wonderful. We couldn't have asked for anything more. So now what is next? Like you want to take it commercially forward, you want to create it in a business. What is your next step? Or right now you want to do a little more R&D and improve it. Sir next we have two products. We will be selling filament and a kit. People will tell a little about what 3D printer is. If you want to use it then you can do more than that. So basically our business model is made for the kit. This basic kit is excluding all the taxes. Rs. 8,950. We have its complete calculation. If we set up a factory tomorrow, how much will be the expenses of the employees. And taxes include Rs. 13,800. We can sell out. We have some delivery charges that are included in our factory setup. We have electricity bill in it. We have calculated it all. Otherwise if we want to buy filament then we will make a site. We will keep two systems in it. We will connect your institution. We will collect the drinks in your canteen. We will make filament from it. We will also give filament to you at a lower price. And if someone wants to buy a kit from us then take a kit from us for Rs. 13,000. You make filament yourself and you can start your small business. So your mind is already on the business plan. It is already in your mind that you have to commercialize it. And you have to create a startup. Wonderful. And it is good for us that your startup starts soon. And you are successful too. So if you have a deadline or time frame that you thought that by this time we will achieve this much or we will reach at this particular point. Right now we are in the prototype process. We want to go to more institutes and hackathons. We want to tell people about it. We want to collect feedback. We want to be able to improve it a little bit more. After that we have done R&D within six months. We want to make it better and launch it in the market. After that we will take three months to get its feedback. Our break-even point is that if we sell 7 units per month which is Rs. 13,000 per unit, if we sell 7 units then all our costs will come. We will achieve break-even points. If we sell 84 units in a year then we will have no profit, no loss. During that process we will take more feedback. We will analyze the market more. What can we do better? And then we will make use of it. So great. So these are I think some very basic numbers. I am sure and I hope that the numbers will be you know in the multiples of what you have just shared. Yeah, that's right. So we wish you all the best in your future journey. And once again congratulations on winning this and producing this wonderful machine to recycle waste and turn that into something which is pretty useful. Good to have you here guys and I hope you will keep shining like this and provide more solutions to the issues for the country. Thank you for coming here today. Thank you sir. As we celebrate the triumph today, let us recognize that their success is not just a victory for innovation but a catalyst for positive change. May their project serve as a cornerstone of a more sustainable, ecologically responsible world for generations to come. Goodbye.
