3D-printed gears made from polylactic acid (PLA) are widely used in classroom kits and other low-cost mechanisms, but they wear during repeated use, and there is no convenient way to tell that a gear is changing without stopping and dismantling the system. This study asks a deliberately...

Although India’s "Make in India" campaign has driven rapid growth in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector, it has led to severe environmental degradation.
