Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a crucial technique in the fabrication of 3D metallic structures. It is increasingly being used worldwide to reduce cost and time. Generally, AM technology is used to overcome the limitations of traditional subtractive manufacturing (SM) for fabricating large-scale components with lower buy-to-fly ratios. It became interesting for scientists and manufacturers due to its ability to produce fully dense metal parts and large near-net-shape products. WAAM is mostly used in modern industries, like aerospace industry. There are three heat sources commonly used in WAAM: metal inert gas welding (MIG), tungsten inert gas welding (TIG), and plasma arc welding (PAW). MIG is easier and more convenient than TIG and PAW because it uses a continuous wire spool with the welding torch. Unlike MIG, tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) and plasma arc welding (PAW) need an external wire feed machine to supply the additive materials. WAAM is gaining popularity in the fabrication of 3D metal components, but the process is hard to control due to its inherent residual stress and distortion, which are generated by the high thermal input from its heat sources. Distortion and residual stress are always a challenge for WAAM because they can affect the component’s geometric accuracy and drastically degrade the mechanical properties of the components.
FDM Process introduction (A part of Additive Manufacturing Technique OR Commonly Known as 3D Printing). 3D printing is an evolved manufacturing technique; it is comparatively better than conventional substractive manufacturing. There is minimum wastage of material because material is added only at those locations where it is required. To make 3D model you need a 3D printer and feeding material and obviously power source. Any thermoplastic material whose melting temperature lies in the range of 150-240 deg. C can be used in FDM based 3D printing.

The document summarizes the origins and processing of aluminium sheet and MDF sheet. For aluminium, it describes how bauxite is mined and purified into aluminium oxide, which is then dissolved and electrolysis is used to separate the aluminium. The aluminium is cast and rolled into sheets. For MDF, it describes how softwood trees are grown, felled, debarked, and cut into planks. The waste wood is chipped and turned into fibers, which are mixed with resin and formed into sheets under heat and pressure.
What are the optimum settings for asa filamentAbhishek Kapoor
Haven’t we always faced a grave deadlock when it boils down to select the perfect material for our 3D model? We need to consider several factors such as mechanical strength, chemical strength, model feasibility, etc, that spins our heads off. It is tedious to fix on one filament, but the process is simple when you aim for one quality over the other.
The document discusses the history and materials used in 3D printing. It begins by explaining how 3D printing aims to reduce product development time and remove restrictions of traditional manufacturing. The history section notes that 3D printing technology has advanced from early stereolithography machines in 1984 to modern desktop 3D printers that can print complex objects layer by layer using plastics. The main section provides a table that lists over 20 common 3D printing materials like PLA, ABS, nylon and lists the recommended printing temperatures and tips for using each material.
As stated in the first paragraph of this article, any product that has a polymeric base should be printable using dye sublimation. This would exclude nylon, cotton, wool, leather, wood, etc. As also stated in the 2nd paragraph, these polymeric items must also withstand high heat, which will exclude a lot of plastics with the exception of reinforced plastics, such as fiberglass reinforced plastics. The last exclusion would be anything of dark coloration, such as pre-colored fabrics or other viable polymeric substrates. Bright or “true” white substrates work best for sublimation printing. Light colors are not forbidden, but you will lose 15-25% of your color gamut, depending on the color (light tans or grays or the like).
A 3D printing glossary defines important terms for understanding 3D printing technology. Some key terms include: 3D printer, which creates 3D objects from digital files in an additive process; filament, the plastic material used in FDM/FFF printers; slicer software, which converts 3D models into code for the printer; and print bed, the surface where printed objects are formed. The glossary provides concise definitions for many common 3D printing techniques, file formats, materials, and other important concepts for learning about the 3D printing field.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

How to Interpret Trends in the Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart.pdfChart Kalyan
A Mix Chart displays historical data of numbers in a graphical or tabular form. The Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart specifically shows the results of a sequence of numbers over different periods.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

2. 3D printing Materials
Material science is as important as the 3D printer
technology to the success of the 3D printing world. It’s been
a long time since 3D printing has graduated from its focal
point of plastics only and are expanding to other materials
like ceramic, titanium, and even chocolate. In some areas
3D printing has made tremendous leaps to create
new materials that are created exclusively for 3D printing.
In my never ending passion to learn more about the 3D
Printing Materials world, I’ve put together a list of materials.
3. 1.Plastic Filament
Plastic is the most common material used in 3D printing
because of its low cost and it’s easy to use, it’s also the
easiest to melt and can solidify at low temperatures. Two
common 3D printable plastics are ABS and PLA.
◎
4. ABS is rigid plastic produced from petroleum.
ABS plastic is less crumbly comparing it to other
plastics like PLA. It requires higher extruder
temperature. A heated printing surface is
recommended to prevent warping of the 3D
printed material. While printing ABS, there is
usually a smell of hot plastic. It’s better to store
ABS spool in an airtight container because ABS
moisture magnet that could lead to breakage in
the build. ABS is the cheapest material.
However, it is not recyclable and is known not to
be environmentally friendly. ABS plastic is
available in many colors.
Acrylonitrile
Butadiene
Styrene (ABS)
5. PLA Polylactic acid or polylactide
(PLA, Poly)
PLA is biodegradable plastic material. It’s made from
renewable resources such as cornstarch, sugar cane,
tapioca roots, or potato starch, which makes it the most
environmentally friendly 3D printing material. Just like
ABS, It’s commonly used desktop 3D printing material.
PLA doesn’t need a heated bed, unlike ABS. It’s odorless
and has less warping issues. It’s offered in many colors.It
can also be recycled.
(check out: Speed modeling of Kylo Ren)
6. Flexible Plastic (TPE)
Polyethylene terephthalate material has the same
printability of ABS and PLA but with more flexibility. The
filament is transparent, lightweight, stiff and impact
resistant. The material is commonly used in the
production of automotive parts, household appliances,
medical supplies and smart phone covers.
7. Nylon
(Polyamide)
Polyamide is biocompatible plastic material. It’s
made from renewable resources such as
cornstarch. It’s very strong, durable and flexible.
Nylon is less crumbly and stronger than ABS and
PLA. It can be used to make models that will be
in contact with food. It has a slight smell but not
as strong as the smell of ABS. The nylon material
must be dried before printing and to prevent
warping, printing on cardboard is necessary.
8. Glow in the dark plastic is available as PLA
and ABS filaments. The filament is made with
phosphorus dye, the same material that’s
used to make sticky star and glowsticks. 3D
printing with glow filament is the same as
printing standard PLA or ABS.
Glow in the Dark Plastic
9. Wood Filament
Wood filament is similar to PLA and can be
printed between 175 ºC and 250 ºC. The final
object will look and smell like wood. Just like
wood, the final object can be cut and painted.
10. Copper Filament
Copper filament is printed with a
desktop 3D printer. It’s similar to
printing with actual copper but
much easier. The weight of the
material is three times heavier
than regular PLA filament.
Copper filament will print on
both heated and non-heated
build platforms. The material
has no warping issues.
11. 2. Powder
Using powder to 3D print is popular but usually used in a larger
company space because of the size of the machines and it requires
special handling techniques.
12. Full-Color Sandstone
One of the few materials that offer full-color capabilities. It works by laying down
thin layers of powder and selectively binding this powder together to produce
solid parts. The final product is a hard, brittle material that is great for figurines,
visual models, and life-like models. the material doesn’t work well for any model
that has a hanging structure since it’s likely to break easily. Also, not best suited
for models that will be used for daily handling nor to functional parts. Models
made with full-color sandstone are not recyclable, not food safe and will fade if
it’s exposed to water. The material is heatproof to 60 ºC/140 ºF degrees.
13. Flexible and Strong Plastic
Strong and flexible plastic is printed with nylon powder. It is
very flexible, it can be used to make iphone cases and jewelry.
It’s is not recyclable and it’s not food-safe. The material is
heatproof to 80 ºC/176 ºF degrees.
14. Porcelain Ceramic
Porcelain is a unique material. Porcelain is printed with
ceramic powder using the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
technique. Firing and glazing technique are used to produce
the final products. Porcelain is food, dishwasher, and oven safe.
The material is recyclable and very heat resistant.
15. Metallic Plastic (Alumide)
Alumide is printed using selective laser sintering (SLS). Products printed in
alumide are a mix of polyamide powder and fine aluminum particles. The
material is strong but crumbly and usually used to make jewelry. Metallic
plastic is heatproof to 78 C/172 degrees
16. 3. Resin
Resin is a liquid material, Stereolithography (SLA) and Digital Light Processing
(DLP) processes uses resin. It is used to create complex and solid forms that
are incredibly detailed with a smooth surface in white, black or transparent
colors. The items are printed upside-down as it rises out of the liquid.
18. Brass, Bronze, Platinum, Silver and Gold
Brass, bronze, silver and gold are printed the same way. The model is
printed in wax then to solidify into a mold, a liquid plaster is poured
and then the metal object is cast and polished. This material is suitable
for sculptures, jewelry, and functional mechanical parts.
19. Steel
Steel is printed by depositing a liquid binder onto steel powder
then infused with bronze. The material is very strong. The material
is suitable for very large objects, jewelry, spare parts, full
functional parts. It’s not food-safe and not recyclable. The material
is heatproof to 831 ºC/1528 ºF.
20. Aluminum
Products are printed with aluminum powder using the selective laser
melting
process. The material is very strong and it’s used to make tools, gadgets and
sports equipment.
