PURPOSE The electron beam melting (EBM) Ti-6Al-4V material technology has been developed over a short time period. It was introduced through a research to develop Ti-6Al-4V implants for patients, but EBM printed locking compression plates have not been used for clinical implants. The main purpose of this study is to find whether the EBM Ti-6Al-4V plate suit for clinical implants. METHODS Firs...

The spectral data of a surface can be reconstructed from RGB camera response when reflectance spectrum of the surface and radiance spectrum of the light source are smooth enough. One factor that lowers the reconstruction performance of consumer level cameras is limited dynamic range. Details or intensity levels in low and high luminance regions can not be reliably detected from a single image. ...

Abstract 3D printing technology provides a new technical approach for the preparation of complex-type gun propellants. The filling pattern chosen printed propellants has an impact on mechanical strength In this paper, three patterns were used to print propellant samples. There is axial, radial and 45° straight pattern. tensile compressive samples with different compared studied. result shows th...

In this paper, we present a technique for increasing the strength of thermoplastic fused deposition manufactured printed parts while retaining the benefits of the process such as ease, speed of implementation, and complex part geometries. By carefully placing voids in the printed parts and filling them with high-strength resins, we can improve the overall part strength and stiffness by up to 45...

A novel facile method of fabricating disposable and highly reproducible surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) arrays using screen printing was explored. The screen printing ink containing silver nanoparticles was prepared and printed on supporting materials by a screen printing process to fabricate SERS arrays (6 × 10 printed spots) in large batches. The fabrication conditions, SERS perfor...
