Different from robotics-based food manufacturing, three-dimensional (3D) food printing integrates 3D printing and digital gastronomy to revolutionize food manufacturing with customized shape, color, flavor, texture, and even nutrition. Hence, food products can be designed and fabricated to meet individual needs through controlling the amount of printing material and nutrition content. The objec...

Recently, there has been considerable interest in adapting printing approaches that are typically used in the graphic arts to the printing of electronic circuits and circuit components. We report the fabrication of solution-processed oxide transistors using inkjet printing. A zinc tin oxide sol-gel precursor is utilized as the ink for directly printing a thin uniform semiconducting layer. The p...

Research in cell printing by piezoelectric inkjet printer has been conducted, however, relatively reliable single-cells printing yield had not been obtained. We proposed a different approach to increase the yield in single-cells printing by utilizing piezoelectric driving method not used in recent inkjet printer devices, push-pull method. Furthermore, cell recognition system constructed by imag...

Organ printing offers a great potential for the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) living organs by precisely layer-by-layer placing various tissue spheroids. Such fabricated organs may replace some damaged or injured human organs, emerging as a promising solution to the problem of organ donor shortage. As one of the key enabling technologies for organ printing, inkjetting has been received ...

and reconstruction plates and morphologic reconstruction of bony defect areas are possible uses of 3D printing in fracture surgery or reconstructive surgery. The 3D printing technique can also be utilized in other areas of oral and maxillofacial surgery. For example, it would be very helpful to be able to design and fabricate a customized non-absorbable barrier of titanium mesh. In addition, 3D...

The printing plate and its characteristics in the conventional printing techniques have a significant impact on print quality and image appearance. In screen printing, a weave of screen mesh i.e. a number of threads per cm, is the most important characteristic of the printing plate, hence the most relevant factor which defines printing quality. Print quality itself is a complex term that includ...

Plasmonic colour printing has drawn wide attention as a promising candidate for the next-generation colour-printing technology. However, an efficient approach to realize full colour and scalable fabrication is still lacking, which prevents plasmonic colour printing from practical applications. Here we present a scalable and full-colour plasmonic printing approach by combining conjugate twin-pha...

In this study, a hybrid modelling scheme for 3D Printing (3DP) technology is proposed predicting three resource consumption processes: production time, electric energy and material usage. First, the manufacturing process classified into five machine operations: axial moving, processing, unit heating, feeding auxiliary. Then, according to behaviours, Gantt chart power profile (GP) diagram genera...

Abstract Since this advent, additive manufacturing (AM) has grown steadily and found applications across all types of sectors. While the great development such technologies improved quality prints expanded availability materials, AM still some limitations regarding its physical scaling. This paper will briefly present state-of-the-art large-scale subsequently greater attention be given to extru...

Electrophotographic printers are required to provide photograph quality printing with the rapid implementation of color in an office environment and meet the needs for POD*1). The printing quality of conventional color electrophotographic printers is no longer capable of adequately satisfying the needs of customers. Furthermore, printing systems with a high resolution are used in the pre-press ...
