A tea leaf…
printed on Plixo 3d Printer🌱
During Narendra Modi’s visit to Assam in March 2026, he was presented with a special memento titled “Eti Koli Duti Paat” — meaning “One Bud and Two Leaves.”
In Assam’s tea culture, this represents the most valuable part of the tea plant, the tender bud and the two youngest leaves used for premium tea.
But here’s what makes it special…
The entire sculpture was digitally designed and produced using 3D printing by 3D Paradise in a single day.
The detailed leaf veins, organic curves, and smooth finish highlight something fascinating about additive manufacturing:
• Complex shapes become easier to produce
• Custom designs can be created quickly
• One-of-a-kind pieces can be manufactured without molds or tooling
In this case, modern digital manufacturing was used to celebrate Assam’s centuries-old tea heritage.
Tradition and technology… meeting in one sculpture.
Moments like these quietly show how 3D printing is moving beyond prototyping into art, culture, and national events.
A small object…
with a big story behind it.
