Stay Cool — 3D Printing Solutions for Thermal Management. In this webinar, you'll learn how additive manufacturing can help control heat and break the boundaries of miniaturization as in the case of heat exchangers. Without the limitations of manufacturability, you can create larger surfaces, conformal cooling ducts, integrate functionalities into your part and adapt components to any existing space. We touch the future with new design ideas from new biomimetic designs. In the business part, we show how to achieve target costs with industrial 3D printing using proven examples from the industry. https://lnkd.in/dHh5X94

Additive Manufacturing Forum I AM Forum Berlin starts with an interesting panel discussion about the Global Battle for 3D Printing Dominance....

I am humbled and honored to be the keynote speaker at the CDFAM Computational Design Symposium. I am passionate about this topic and look forward to sharing my insights and experiences. We will discuss: How do we simulate intricate lattice structures? How do we generate simulation-driven Lattices? How do we apply robustness in design to overcome uncertainty in 3D printing?

We must look upstream to to consider downstream consequences. How can 3D printing mitigate heat? Can I enhance thermal conductivity by optimizing the structure of heat dissipation components and by using thermal conductive components? I thought about a simple design change - add a hat - to deflect heat but, will that cause shadows in my data, effectively impacting labeling and my F1 score of model outputs? Only 100 more days until the DARPA Stand-off Triage Challenge.

Thrilled to share that my recent poster presentation on optimization of FDM 3D printing parameters for enhanced mechanical properties and structural integrity at the 2024 Louisiana Materials Design Alliance (LAMDA) Symposium won the Best Poster Award! 🏆 LAMDA is a collaborative research project, supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Louisiana Board of Regents and administered through Louisiana EPSCoR committee. I am grateful for the support from my advisor, Prof. Michael Khonsari and colleagues, and excited to continue exploring advancements in composite 3D printing technology. In this study, we explored how selecting proper FDM printing parameters can significantly enhance the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of 3D-printed parts. Using the Taguchi method for the design of experiments (DOE), we optimized four key printing parameters—specifically when utilizing chopped carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide filaments. Our goal was to maximize the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and minimize inter-layer porosities while considering printing time and part weight. #AdditiveManufactruing #FDM #Compsoites #Solidmechanics

3D printing technology allows the cost-effective printing of physical objects from digital models by depositing layers of material on top of each other. Share a very interesting use case for 3D printing combining the concept of digital twins in a cultural and creative industry context. I am looking forward to seeing many more excellent use cases in the coming time. Share a video description for young connections interested in the real world applications of 3D printing.
