▤ Summary

The platform gets rid of expensive guess and check workflows with its free-to-search library of validated mechanical property data, so users can choose the combination of material, lattice, and hardware, and then search, analyze, and order physical samples. Initial partners of the platform include Photocentric, BASF Forward AM, and EOS, and they will work to gain a better understanding of Digital Materials made of elastomeric polymers for foam replacement applications. According to a trio of researchers from Ondokuz Mayıs University in Turkey, binder jetting is one of the essential 3D printing methods due to its material range, cost-effectiveness, and lack of thermal stress problems, but it’s slower than traditional manufacturing process. The researchers believe that “the actual use of adaptive slicing in binder jetting was applied for the first time in this study.” Together with his UTHealth Houston School of Public Health team, Wei-Chung Su, PhD, assistant professor of epidemiology, human genetics, and environmental sciences, designed and 3D printed a replicated human airway system, called the Mobile Aerosol Deposition Apparatus, or MALDA, that’s being used as an experimental tool for studying airborne aerosol particle deposits in the lungs. As part of a prototype project in southwest China, University of Hong Kong professors John Lin and Lidia Ratoi have added 3D printed walls to an abandoned wooden home to create the Traditional House of the Future.
