Progressive osseous heteroplasia is a rare inherited disease that begins with skin ossification and proceeds into the deeper connective tissues. The disease should be distinguished from other genetic disorders of heterotopic ossification including fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) and Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO). We report a case of progressive osseous heteroplasia in a...

Additive manufacturing has developed significantly. In contrast to established fabricated materials, low-melting-point alloys (LMPAs) are increasingly attractive because they have favorable electrical/thermal conductivities and mechanical strengths. However, LMPA additive is still in its infancy. We report a novel strategy for fabricating the complex and/or multifunctional components of LMPAs b...

The application of magneto-rheology control in extrusion-based 3D concrete printing is conceptually examined by rheological experiments on cementitious paste with nano-Fe3O4. extruding process simulated a constant shearing, and the buildability after extrusion characterized structural build-up from small amplitude oscillatory time-sweep test. A pulsed magnetic field applied during shearing then...

3D printing is an emerging technology to construct complex geometry by adapting layer-by-layer addition technique from a 3-dimensional CAD model. Mass customization, freedom of design, and wastage minimization are the main advantages Additive Manufacturing (AM) based printing. currently used in many sectors worldwide, such as automotive, aerospace, agriculture, medical, electronics, other house...

3D printing or additive manufacturing (AM) (in the industrial context) is an innovative, as opposed to subtractive, technology, bringing new opportunities and benefits spare part supply chain (SPSC). The aim of this work capture views stakeholders at end chain, extruding factors that will benefit end-user are likely be obstacle, by employing questionnaire method. Company objectives regarding sp...
