3D printing pitfall?

Post by publiusr »

It seems there may be a danger in 3D printing:
https://techxplore.com/news/2021-05-3d- ... tfall.html

"You end up with an incredible amount of residual stresses inside your piece," said Phan. "So it's sitting there, tearing itself apart. The residual stress could crack the part and lift it up during the build, which could actually crash the machine."

I've seen a technique that is supposed to improve the strength of pieces. Basically you encase the work in plaster of paris, let it dry and heat the whole thing above the melting point of your print material. This essentially melts the material into a solid piece, and removes any areas of poor adhesion. It does have to be done with solid infill, as any hollows would collapse. The plaster makes it retain the final form, and once it's cool you just soak it in a slightly acidic water to remove the plaster.

From what I've seen it triples the strength of PETG, but doesn't do much for PLA.

Some other 3D printing news
https://phys.org/news/2018-06-d-printer-physical.html
https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/5/eaas8652

A team of researchers from MIT and Harvard University has come up with a way to get 3-D printers to print objects using data sets rather than geometric representations. In their paper published on the open access site Science Advances, the group describes their new technique and some of the ways they believe it could be used.

I wonder if that can be done with drawings--as here
https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/the-exc ... 623/page-3
https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/enterpr ... mp.300617/

Very good drawings.

But this here below is wild:
https://phys.org/news/2021-02-dynamic-d ... riven.html
In the paper, the researchers demonstrate several applications, including 3-D printing a customized vascular stent and printing a soft pneumatic gripper made of two different materials, one hard and one soft. A double helix and a tiny Eiffel Tower are two other printed examples in the study.

The first thing that popped into my mind was the Cygnus from THE BLACK HOLE.

With this technology not only could you do a model of the Cygnus with antenna made of soft flexible bits that won't break if a child tried to lay it down flat (ugh)--but you can warp it as was done with the Eiffel Tower.

Imagine a Vantablack sphere, with a distorted Primitive Dave Cygnus print spiraling into it!

The caption would read that a structural integrity field was used that failed during the meteor strikes....but even if it had worked...the gravity gradient was still too strong. This vantablack sphere would be backlit....with colored glass dome and ring to make it look more like the Kip Thorne version from INTERSTELLAR.

This may help make stronger toys and prints
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2 ... 163519.htm

To develop a polymer that is both stiff and tough, the researchers looked to physical, rather than chemical bonds to link the polymer chains. These physical bonds, called entanglements, have been known in the field for almost as long as polymer science has existed, but they've been thought to only impact stiffness, not toughness.

But the SEAS research team found that with enough entanglements, a polymer could become tough without compromising stiffness. To create highly entangled polymers, the researchers used a concentrated monomer precursor solution with 10 times less water than other polymer recipes.

Form fitting material
https://techxplore.com/news/2021-11-d-e ... rming.html

Three-dimensional electronics have high customizability, 3D conformability and stretchability to form state-of-the-art stretchable electronics in response to the increasing demands to form curvilinear surfaces for wearable sensors. The process to directly develop 3-DE with high customizability, 3D conformability and stretchability on any complicated surface are in high demand. Among the many development methods, thermoforming is a manufacturing technique that uses thermoplastic deformation of a plastic film onto a 3D shaped mold with the advantages of low fabrication cost, large area scalability and quick prototyping.

FL-3DP is an emerging technology with high potential that enables the 3D printing of multi-material functional components. It uses gel as a temporary suspension media in which inks are extruded and held in place. Once the inks are solidified, the gel can then be easily washed off.

This approach overcomes two major limitations faced in existing 3D printing technologies. Firstly, it enables the 3D-printing of materials that take a long time to solidify when extruded. Secondly, due to its ability to hold inks and maintain them in the liquid state, advanced geometries such as overhanging structures shapes with high-aspect ratios or fine combinations of multiple materials have now become a feasible option.

3D printing news.

3D prints not with light--but sound
https://techxplore.com/news/2022-05-pot ... er-3d.html
Most 3D printing methods currently in use rely either on photo (light)- or thermo (heat)-activated reactions to achieve precise manipulation of polymers. The development of a new platform technology called direct sound printing (DSP), which uses soundwaves to produce new objects, may offer a third option.

Melt electrowriting
https://techxplore.com/news/2022-06-3d- ... folds.html
This is a comparatively new additive manufacturing technology that uses high voltage to create accurate patterns of very thin polymer fibers. A polymer is heated, melted and pushed out of a printing head as a liquid jet to form the fibers.

4D printing
https://phys.org/news/2022-06-4d.html
As a result, they report in Advanced Functional Materials ("Direct Ink Writing of 4D Structural Colors") the development of a water-responsive cholesteric liquid crystal ink and the accompanying direct ink writing (DIW) procedure.

There is a new type of additive manufacturing being looked at for artificial hearts FRJS
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-07- ... otary.html

However, currently there is no manufacturing tool that can capture this complex arrangement. While common 3D printing methods can easily realize complex fiber arrangements, 3D printing cannot print nanofibers at a throughput relevant to tissue engineering.

The researchers thus proposed the process of focused rotary jet spinning. FRJS is an additive manufacturing method which uses centrifugal spinning to rapidly form fibers. The fibers are subsequently focused, aligned, and deposited onto targeted locations with a controlled airstream. By using airflow, this method allows thousands of micro/nanofibers to be simultaneously manipulated, which ensures high throughput. With the specially designed airflow, FRJS can manufacture 3D fiber constructs that are much more complex than current methods can create.
Another currently used method is fiber spinning, which allows for a faster production but not as much detail or complexity as FRJS. Thus, the researchers present FRJS as a method to make more complex creations in a timelier manner.

New printing tech
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2 ... 133131.htm
https://techxplore.com/news/2022-08-3d- ... thods.html

The new approach, called Multiplexed Fused Filament Fabrication (MF3), uses a single gantry, the sliding structure on a 3D printer, to print individual or multiple parts simultaneously. By programming their prototype to move in efficient patterns, and by using a series of small nozzles - rather than a single large nozzle, as is common in conventional printing - to deposit molten material, the researchers were able to increase printing resolution and size as well as significantly decrease printing time.

"MF3 will change how thermo-plastic printing is done," said Cleeman, noting his team has applied for a U.S. patent for their technology.

PFAS contains a long tail of unyielding carbon-fluorine bonds. But at one end of the molecule, there is a charged group that often contains charged oxygen atoms. Dichtel's team targeted this head group by heating the PFAS in dimethyl sulfoxide—an unusual solvent for PFAS destruction—with sodium hydroxide, a common reagent. The process decapitated the head group, leaving behind a reactive tail.
