Interest in 3D printing has greatly increased since 2013. With 3D printing high part complexity at no additional costs can be achieved, beside of efficiently using the raw material. This article reviews recent developments in 3D printing, with respect to the use of wood. Three examples are given on how wood could come to 3D printing: development of bio-based filaments, printing wood-like 3D obj...

The article describes an advanced test stand for measuring temperatures during the 3D printing additive manufacturing. Based on mathematical procedures, it analyzes impact energy of laser beam used in metal printing.

Abstract This study presents and discusses the possibility of using 3D printed polymer tools to achieve a flexible metal forming production line. An example is given design sheet part from tool printing actual evaluation achieved precision formed part. The time spent by engineer/operator during full process cycle documented compared it would take make corresponding conventional machining. savin...

With the development of 3D printing technology, 3D printing has recently been applied to many areas of life including healthcare and the automotive industry. Due to the benefit of 3D printing, 3D printing models are often attacked by hackers and distributed without agreement from the original providers. Furthermore, certain special models and anti-weapon models in 3D printing must be protected ...

3D printing has now been recognized as a very practical technique to create 3D structures with milli-/micron-scale resolution. In tissue engineering, particularly, people utilize 3D printing technique to integrate biodegradable polymers to tissue scaffolds. Hydrogel is highly potential material that provides aqua environment and enables nutrition and oxygen transportation, all of which are requ...
