3D Printed Solid-State Batteries (metal + ceramic + glass + polymer) ֍ Can 3D Printing Transform Battery Making? - Manufacturing costs: ▽ 33% costs in a factory that's ▽44% smaller and uses ▽25% less energy. And AM enables to save on raw materials (lithium, cobalt and manganese, and reduce / eliminate the use of solvents); - Energy-density: AM could deliver more energy-dense and faster charging batteries; - Size: Smaller and lighter than current batteries for the same capacity; - Current Lithium batteries tend to catch fire when damaged: Additive Manufacturing and Solid-State Batteries can replace the volatile liquid core of these batteries with innovative solid-state approaches; - Custom shapes: 3D Printing can manufacture batteries in any shape or size and even customized; Batteries can be integrated into products enabling designers to fit batteries around their innovations rather than design them to accommodate standard battery shapes; - Molds and tooling: No molds and tooling required; ֍ Looking forward to seeing how this technology matures.

3D BioPrinting a Bulb Socket (using Chitosan- Tin Composite) ֍ Why "Bio"? - Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin, which is a natural polymer found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans like shrimp and crabs, as well as in the cell walls of fungi; ֍ Why is this composite electrically conductive? - Because chitosan is combined with a conductive material, such as tin (Sn); ֍ How does it compare to the traditional way of manufacturing bulb sockets? - This approach takes place at ambient temperature and pressure, and being driven by water exchange; ֍ Paper: https://lnkd.in/dpyrNeXS -------------- 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲: ֍ 𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 & 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (120h of hands-on training - Online): If you are an engineer or product designer, this knowledge is crucial to: - create lightweight and efficient structures, - reduce the weight of any industrial component, - generate lattice for thermal dissipation, shock absorption, comfort, osseointegration or aesthetics, - and in order to improve the performance of your components (both mechanical and thermal improvements). → https://lnkd.in/dsR8-DGj #3Dprinting #3Dprintingtraining #3Dprintingcareers #3Dprintingjobs

MELT-based Additive Manuf (SLM, DMLS, EBM...) Vs. SOLID-phase AM (UAM, CSM, AFSD) ֍ Difference: MELT-based AM: - It involves MELTING, and that means dealing with issues such as solidification cracking and the evaporation of low-temperature elements; - Example of 3D technologies: SLM, DMLS or EBM; SOLID-phase AM: - Without involving melting; - It utilizes the heat generated through FRICTION between the bar feed-rod and the tool to plasticize the material, allowing for its deposition onto a substrate and subsequent layers; - Example of 3D technologies: Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing, Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing and Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD); ֍ More on the effect of feed-rod tilting in this paper: https://lnkd.in/dm-SH_7K.

Alhamdulillah! Proud to share that I have obtained my Certificate in Topology Optimisation using nTop from the guys at 3D Printing Bootcamp. These past 4 months have been an incredible journey where I learned and delved into 1. Weight reduction techniques to create more efficient design 2. Lattice structure exploration for enhanced performance 3. Organic shape exploration for innovative solutions 3. Optimise 3d model for printability 4. Additive manufacturing methods 5. Thermal Structural Analysis to ensure designs can withstand real-life conditions Throughout this journey, I have learned these techniques and many others and applied these techniques to exciting real life projects including Aerospace & automotive components, heat sinks, jigs and fixtures, medical implants. Each project challenged me to push the limits of my technical expertise and imagination helping me to explore unique possibilities in design. As i move forward, I plan to keep pushing the boundaries of my knowledge and learn and explore cutting edge solutions that are transforming the industries today and shaping the future. #TopologyOptimization #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #nTop #Innovation #Solidworks #DesignForManufacturing
