 Imaging and Printing Services
Fall of Conventional Imaging and Printing
• Cloud printing and cloud faxing have changed printers fax machine s from being assets
that must be owned to resources that a re-accessed only when needed
• Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets have made e-papers and e-books access easy
• Presence of Managed Content Services(MCS)
• Evolution of Managed Print Services(MPS)
Future of Imaging and Printing
• Additive manufacturing
• Disruptive impact on how products are designed, built, distributed, and sold
• Sales of 3D printers grew 200 to 400 percent every year between 2007 and 2011
• Newer uses of 3D printing could enable unprecedented levels of mass customization, less-
costly supply chains, and even the “democratization” of manufacturing
• 3D printing can create objects from plastic, metal, ceramics,paper, and even living cells.
• With 3D printing, an idea can go directly from a file on a designer’s computer to a finished
part or product, potentially skipping many traditional manufacturing steps

SMART DUST
SMART DUST is a system of many tiny micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) such as
sensors, robots, or other devices, that can detect. They are usually operated on a computer
network wirelessly and are distributed over some area to perform tasks, usually sensing
through radio-frequency identification
Applications

Smart Dust may be deployed over a region to record data for meteorological or geophysical
research. Smart Dust may be deployed over a region to record data for meteorological or
geophysical research

A video camera is a straightforward implementation of an imaging receiver

Inventory Control Smart office spaces The Center for the Built Environment has fabulous
plans for the office of the future in which environmental conditions are tailored to the desires
of every individual. Maybe soon we'll all be wearing temperature, humidity, and
environmental comfort sensors sewn into our clothes, continuously talking to our
workspaces which will deliver conditions tailored to our needs
