This document provides an overview of 3D printing and 3D printing materials. It discusses the history of 3D printing from its origins as a futuristic concept to its current use as additive manufacturing. The document then explains the working principle of 3D printing, where a 3D design file is sliced into layers and sent to a 3D printer to build a physical object layer by layer. It also lists common 3D printing materials and applications in various industries. Potential drawbacks like cost and technology limitations are outlined as well as advantages such as reduced time and costs. The document concludes by emphasizing how 3D printing allows developing and refining products more efficiently while keeping intellectual property in-house.

Additive Manufacturing: 3D Printing--Past, Present, and Future360mnbsu
This presentation explored the foundation of ‘the next industrial revolution’ - how additive manufacturing systems such as 3D printers and 3D production systems are changing the future of product development and manufacturing. Mr. Fischer presented examples of how design engineers use 3D production systems for concept modeling and prototyping, but also how manufacturing engineers are now employing these technologies for various applications such as jigs, fixtures, check gauges, and even as a bridge-to-tooling and low-volume end-use parts.

Selecting The Right 3D Printer for the JobDesign World
Technology advances have made 3D printing a viable solution to meet today’s demands for design iterations and cost restraints. As such, the landscape of 3D printing machines comes in a range of prices and features. The leading major 3D printer vendors will discuss and explore your questions on the best printer for your specific needs, ranging from prototyping versus production, individual use versus group use, finish needs, and more.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for Contour Crafting in Home Construction.
Contour crafting involves large-scale 3D printing of concrete homes. A machine is constructed for a specific design and the machine rapidly dispenses concrete for the home thus resulting in rapid construction of the concrete home. This technique is largely based on patents held by Behrokh Khoshenevis, a professor at the University of Southern California. These slides describe the specific value proposition for construction companies and home buyers and other aspects of the business model such as the method of value capture, scope of activities, and method of strategic control.
Make Realistic Prototypes in Less Time with Multi-Material 3D PrintingDesign World
Creating prototypes that look and feel like their production counterparts greatly reduces the product development cycle and makes communication of design ideas much more effective. Most prototypes, however, are made from multiple parts that need to be assembled, which takes time. PolyJet multi-material 3D printing lets you quickly produce realistic prototypes with different material properties and colors, all in a single manufacturing operation. View the webinar to learn how multi-material 3D printing saves time.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Although 3D printing is commonly thought of as a new ‘futuristic’ concept, it has actually been around for more than 30 years.
Chuck Hull invented the first 3D printing process called ‘stereo lithography’ in 1983. In a patent, he defined stereo lithography as ‘a method and apparatus for making solid objects by successively “printing” thin layers of the ultraviolet curable material one on top of the other’. This patent only focuses on ‘printing’ with a light curable liquid, but after Hull founded the company ‘3D Systems’, he soon realized his technique was not limited to only liquids, expanding the definition to ‘any material capable of solidification or capable of altering its physical state’. With this, he built the foundation of what we now know today as additive manufacturing (AM) – or 3D printing.
3D Printing is an additive manufacturing process that creates a physical object from a digital design. There are different 3D printing technologies and materials you can print with, but all are based on the same principle: a digital model is turned into a solid three-dimensional physical object by adding material layer by layer
Every 3D print starts as a digital 3D design file – like a blueprint – for a physical object. Trying to print without a design file is like trying to print a document on a sheet of paper without a text file. This design file is sliced into thin layers which is then sent to the 3D printer.
From here on the printing process varies by technology starting from desktop printers that melt a plastic material and lay it down onto a print platform to large industrial machines that use a laser to selectively melt metal powder at high temperatures. The printing can take hours to complete depending on the size, and the printed objects are often post-processed to reach the desired finish.
Available materials also vary by printer type, ranging from plastics to rubber, sandstone, metals and alloys - with more and more materials appearing on the market every year
