“It can take years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce one product, and then you have no idea if people have any interest in that product. That development cost is so steep that most designers won’t see their designs on the market,” said Taylor. The founders of Gantri felt that the cost gap between regular home decor and luxury designer decor could be brid...
The team led by Dr Elsa Antunes made use of tailor-made rocket motors to test their 3D printed fuels. “We wanted to explore the viability of using commercially available 3D printing materials in the manufacture of hybrid rocket fuel grains,” explains Antunes. “We knew that the common plastic Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) has shown promise so we decided to t...
According to the scientists, these 2D material inks could used in energy storage devices such as supercapacitors. Though not as famous as its 2D material counterpart Graphene, the clay-like MXene possesses high electrical conductivity upon drying and is hydrophilic, which makes it suitable for aqueous suspensions and inks. “We’ve demonstrated that large MXene flake...

The basic principle of fiber laser marker is a high-energy continuous laser beam produced by a laser generator. And the focused laser is applied to the printed material such that the surface material melts immediately or even evaporates. The desired graphical indicia is formed by controlling the path of the laser on the surface of the material. Fiber laser marker is cha...

In the pharmaceutical industry, granulation plays a key role in the production of solid dosage forms – particularly due to the pressure of rising costs. Granulation aims to form coarser agglomerates from fine powder. Agglomerates may consist of fixed, dry grains, and each grain is an agglomeration of powder particles of sufficient strength. Granulates can be used direct...
