If you work in any of the following roles, this technology is not optional reading:

Old additive manufacturing suffered from weak interlayer adhesion. The new HDMAAL utilizes variable energy density—lower in the core for ductility, higher at the surface for hardness. This creates functionally graded materials (FGMs) in a single print run.

For example, you can print a turbine blade with a:

No other manufacturing process can achieve this in one setup.

At its core, Animal is a father-son story, but one stripped of the usual sentimentality associated with Bollywood. Ranbir Kapoor plays Ranvijay "Vijay" Singh, the son of a powerful industrialist, Balbir Singh (Anil Kapoor). The narrative follows Vijay’s obsessive, almost pathological love for his father. When an assassination attempt leaves his father fighting for his life, Vijay returns from the United States, unleashing a rampage of violence to protect his family.

The film runs for over three hours, a runtime that tests the audience’s patience yet manages to keep them glued to the screen through sheer narrative audacity. It borrows heavily from the tropes of gangster epics like The Godfather and Scarface, but infuses them with a uniquely Indian, hyper-masculine anxiety.
