According to Travis release,” The first approved project was printed on the Stratasys F900, can print parts with dimensions up to 36 inches x 24 inches x 36 inches made of Ultem 9085, a specialized plastic known for its extra flexibility, density and strength. The 60th Maintenance Squadron at Travis AFB, Calif., is the Air Force’s first-ever field unit to be equipped with a Federal Aviation Administration- and USAF-certified 3D printer capable of producing aircraft parts. Typically, parts that don’t keep the aircraft from performing their mission don’t have as high as a priority for replacement.”
According to MSgt. John Higgs, the squadron’s metals technology section chief, in the release, “We already have a list from the Air Force level to help them print and to backfill some supplies. This will ensure other bases can replace items sooner than expected with our help.”
Graduate students learned how to 3-D print ice cream in an additive manufacturing course at MIT.
According to John Hart, the Mitsui Career Development Associate Professor in Contemporary Technology and Mechanical Engineering at MIT,” says early education on 3-D printing is the key to helping the technology expand as an industry. I very much enjoyed creating and teaching the course and I’m proud of what the students did, and what it means about the future potential of additive manufacturing. The students’ final projects have included printers that they built specially to print molten glass and even soft-serve ice cream”.
Would you like to eat iPhone ‘Pancake’
3D printer to create fun breakfast food designs. Using a combination of compressed air pressure and vacuum suction, it reproduces drawings and designs on a 19 1/4″ L x 10 1/4″ W griddle by strategically dispensing one’s preferred batter.
According to the comments, “Downloaded a jpg then used the Pancake Painter software to trace the logo, setting the darkness level for each segment to give the right appearance. Saved to the SD card, then loaded on the printer. They made a few test pancakes to adjust settings. For the true test, There is photographed the pancake user made and sent it in an e-mail and asked the recipient if the design was identifiable. The answer came back: Pittsburgh Steelers logo. Success! Besides, the pancakes tasted good, too. Give yourself plenty of time. The process is not speedy. Part of the attraction is watching the pancake printer dispense the batter to give the shades you want based on the length of time the batter is on the grill. I’m anxious to cook it up when the kids come for breakfast”:)
The 3D Printing Kinematics Dress Design.
We can boost our knowledge with 3D printing technology.
According to Cooper Hewitt, “New technology for kinematics dress design and 3D-Printing Process.
The Kinematics dress represents a new approach to manufacturing in which design, engineering, customization, and simulation are part of one seamless system, so that the object, once fabricated, is fully finished and complete”.
We always think about what is the 3D Printers are. Is it worth to read or buy or not. We always think about it is looks like a mystery. For me, 3D printers are the mystery too. But it is not. It is wonderful to know and read about 3D printers.
More we read and watch 3D printing videos more we want too.
I think it will be amazing 3D Food Printing feed the World.
According to Global1 News Network Japan, “A 3D printer that makes edible sushi was exhibited at this year’s SXSW (South by Southwest) 2018 in Texas”.
According to the 3D Printing USA, ” presenting a measured but fast-paced view of the current and future potential of 3D Printing across a range of markets about Jewelry, Education, Material, Medical”.:)

4D printing—–
4D printing adds the dimension of transformation over time.
5D Printing—–
Stereolithography for 3D printing —-
stereolithography apparatus, optical fabrication, photo-solidification, or resin printing) is a form of 3D printing technology used for creating models, prototypes, patterns and production parts in a layer by layer fashion using photopolymerization, a process by which light causes chains of molecules to link, forming polymers.
Stereolithography for 4D printing——
4D printing is fundamentally based in stereolithography, where in most cases ultraviolet light is used to cure the layered materials after the printing process has completed.
Fiber Architecture—-
Most 4D printing systems utilize a network of fibers that vary in size and material properties. 4D printed components can be designed on the macro scale as well as the micro scale.
Hydro-reactive Polymers/Hydrogels for 4D printing—–
Skylar Tibbits is the director of the Self-Assembly Lab at MIT and worked with the Stratasys Materials Group to produce a composite polymer composed of highly hydrophilic elements and non-active, rigid elements. The unique properties of these two disparate elements allowed up to 150% swelling of certain parts of the printed chain in water, while the rigid elements set structure and angle constraints for the transformed chain. Tibbits et al. produced a chain that would spell “MIT” when submerged in water and another chain that would morph into a wireframe cube when subjected to the same conditions.
Cellulose Composites for 3D printing-———-
Cellulose-based material that could be responsive to humidity. Wood composite materials that change shape based on their printed grain direction and anisotropic swelling when water is absorbed. This work is 3D printed and studied on the macro scale rather than micro scale, with layer heights at fractions of millimetres rather than microns.
Thermo-reactive Polymers/Hydrogels for 4D printing—–
Thermo-responsive material. This new type of 4D printed hydrogel is more mechanically robust than other thermally actuating hydrogels and shows potential in applications such as self-assembling structures, medical technology, soft robotics, and sensor technology. A fluid controlling smart valve printed from this material was designed to close when touching hot water and open when touching cold water.
Digital Shape-Memory Polymers for 3D printing-———
SMPs are able to recover their original shape from a deformed shape under certain circumstances, such as when exposed to a temperature for a period of time. Depending on the polymer, there may be a variety of configurations that the material may take in a number of temperature conditions. Digital SMPs utilize 3D printing technology to precisely engineer the placement, geometry, and mixing and curing ratios of SMPs with differing properties, such as glass transition or crystal-melt transition temperatures.
Stress Relaxation for 4D printing———-
4D printing is a process in which a material assembly is created under stress that becomes “stored” within the material. This stress can later be released, causing an overall material shape change.
Thermal Photo-reactive Polymers for 4D printing-——–
This type of polymeric actuation can be described as photo-induced stress relaxation.
3D Modeling-——-
CAD, 3D scanner
3D printing-——
Before printing a 3D printing model from an STL file, it must be examined for an error. Most CAD applications produce errors in output STL files.
STL files-—
Repair fixes in the original model.
3D scanner——
A 3D scanner is a device that analyses a real-world object or environment to collect data on its shape and possibly its appearance
G-code—
G-code is a language in which people tell computerized machine tools how to make something. The “how” is defined by g-code instructions provided to a machine controller (industrial computer) that tells the motors where to move, how fast to move, and what path to follow.
Laser printing—–
Laser printing is an electrostatic digital printing process. It produces high-quality text and graphics (and moderate-quality photographs) by repeatedly passing a laser beam back and forth over a negatively charged cylinder called a “drum” to define a differentially charged image. The drum then selectively collects electrically charged powdered ink toner, and transfers the image to paper, which is then heated in order to permanently fuse the text and/or imagery. As with digital photocopiers, laser printers employ a xerographic printing process.
Injection moulding—
Injection moulding Bre or Injection moulding Ame is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mould. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials mainly including metals, glasses, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mould cavity, where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity
How to 3D print copy any object. According to Switch & Lever,” Copying physical items is not as easy as copying a piece of paper, you can’t exactly stick it into a copy machine. However, surprisingly technology for how to copy physical objects have come a long way in recent years, and have also become available for those without deep pockets. In this video we’re copying a couple of different objects, using different methods, with different rates of success.”:)
According to Ron Place, he is our Dr for Dr. 3D Printer (3D printers Server Octoprint vs Repetier comparison),” This is the video showing a comparison between Octoprint and Repetier Server. They are both great alternatives”.:)
