Innovation Roundtable: The (actual and potential) impacts of 3D printing on b...Tim Minshall
3D printing (also known as Additive Manufacturing) has attracted a huge amount of interest. Some commentators believe that this technology has the potential to underpin a 'manufacturing revolution'. The truth is more complex and nuanced. 3D printing is not a single technology; it’s current application areas are numerous; and the impact it could have in a variety of sectors is hindered by multiple uncertainties. Researchers at the University of Cambridge and the University of Nottingham have been researching the ways in which 3D printing is changing current business models in a variety of sectors, and exploring the way in which these technologies could have a wider impact. This same team has also been gathering evidence to support the development of a UK national strategy for 3D printing / additive manufacturing. This presentation will provide an overview of the results of this research on 3D printing-enabled business model innovation, and highlight some of the current barriers and opportunities.
3D Printing is projected as the next industrial revolution and it can potentially influence almost every aspect of our daily life in some way. The missing link or bottleneck in computer aided product development is prototyping or product manufacturing. New development in 3D printing such as digital material takes product development to newer heights. Functional 3D products with complex shapes for novel functionality can be manufactured right at your desktop. Self-replicating 3D printing machines can revolutionize the industrial manufacturing from linear to nonlinear growth. For end customers, 3D printing technology enables complex, intricate design and high cost production products, custom made.
This webinar will start with an overview of 3D printing technology. The parametric CAD model design methodology in COMSOL for 3D printing will be given. Material modelling for evaluating various materials such as polymers, composites, metals, ceramics and hybrid materials, suitable for 3D Printing will be detailed. Resistive, laser and inductive heating simulations for effective thermal processing will be highlighted. A wide range of 3D printed products from molecular models to consumer products which are engineered using Multiphysics CAE will be showcased.
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.

How To Make Money With 3D Printing: An Overview Of The 3D Printing Industry A...Jeffrey Ito
3D printing is a budding technology industry that can not be ignored. Even today there are advancements in 3D printing that are changing the way we manufacture goods. It would be imperative to know and understand the fundamentals behind what is causing the signs of the third industrial revolution.
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.

University of florida 3 d lapidary scanner 110614Robert Harker
The subject invention pertains to an apparatus and method for collecting 2-D data slices of a specimen. Embodiments can incorporate a lapidary platen and an image recording system to image a specimen. The lapidary wheel platen can provide an imaging plane such that an image can be taken as the lapidary wheel platen abrades a surface of the specimen. A specimen mount can maintain the surface of the specimen properly aligned in the image plane. The imaging system can be a continuous recording system such as a video camera, a discrete recording system such as a flatbed scanner, or combinations of continuous and discrete recording systems to simultaneously collect two distinct data sets. The 2-D data set(s) can then be processed to create intricate 3-D color models.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first 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.

that simply changes its shape, we’re proposing
the development of adaptive, biomimetic
composites that re-program their shape,
properties or functionality on demand, based
upon external stimuli”
