The impact of additive manufacturing on micro reactor technology (slideshare ...
The continuous tubular reactor is a well-known concept which is applied broadly and has proven its value to the chemical industry. In essence the micro reactor is nothing else than a tubular reactor with an unusual small diameter. Its excellent performance originates from the fact that the characteristic time for heat and mass transfer scales quadratic with the length scale. Ten times smaller diameter results in a hundred times faster transfer.
But, the very principles that lead to high performance seem to disable economical viable applications. Even at ‘micro reactor level’ productivity an astronomically large number of parallel channels is required to reach plant scale production capacities. The negative influence on manufacturability and cost can be countered by influencing the fluid dynamics inside the channel. Making use of secondary flow phenomena we succeed to maintain the ‘micro reactor level’ productivity at mm sized channel diameters. The desired secondary flow effect originates from influencing the shape, geometry and lay-out of the channel.
Selective laser melting (3D metal printing) is a new fast developing manufacturing technology that delivers excellent freedom of design combined with a promising cost level. Those properties match very well with the needs within micro reactor technology, and act as a strong enabler for applications in process development as well as industrial production.

How to (re)Design your parts for Additive Manufacturing
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is a new and exciting way to make parts. However, traditional manufacturing rules do not always apply when designing for AM. Both beginners and professionals can benefit from understanding how to make this technology work for them. Here you will learn the four ways you can design or redesign your parts for AM in order to maximize their potential.
Supports / Overhangs
Each technology deals with this differently. Generally, there is a critical angle (typically 45 degrees) that allows no support to be needed such as in the letter Y. Some need supports for all bridges of a certain length such as the middle of a capital H. Others need supports for overhangs such as at the ends of a capital T. How supports are designed or generated and removed needs to be thought of in the design process.
Orientation
Two factors come into play for orientation. First is material properties can differ depending on the direction they are built. This shows some test bars I printed to test how build orientation affects the electrical resistivity of a metal alloy. Strength can differ depending on build orientation so if you have a part that needs to have a certain strength in a certain direction, you will need to know how the orientation affects the strength of the part. The second is that printed features can come out looking differently depending on orientation. If you have a circle you want to print and have it come out circular, you will need to orient the part so that the circle is in the XY plane and not chopped up by the layers.
Minimum feature size / Resolution
This greatly depends on the process you use, and especially the machine you use. Just because two machines from different manufacturers use the same technology, they may not have the same feature specifications. There are also many factors that play into minimum features, and each are different. Here you can see some of the minimum sizes for a typical SLS process in Nylon. This is where you need to find out the machine and material specific specifications if you want to be designing features in the sub millimeter range.
Post Processing
There are many different ways post processing can affect how you design. If the process relies on supports, they will need to be removed manually, or potentially semi-automatically. If attached to a build plate, the parts will need to be removed. If there is excess powder or liquid trapped, it will need to be removed. If you want uniform or enhanced material properties, a heat treatment or post infusing of a secondary material may be needed. If you have critical surfaces that assemble, post machining will be required including custom part holding jigs or fixtures. All of these need to be taken into consideration when designing in order to gain the greatest benefits from AM.
Method 1: Send directly for AM
Method 2: Modify for AM
Method 3: Combine and redesign for AM
Method 4: Rethink and redesign for AM

Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is maturing rapidly as a viable solution of make optimized parts for “real engineering” applications. The freedom of design that is achievable using AM process is un parallel in terms of reducing structural weight, reducing material cost, generating complex shapes and connections and introducing directional properties in a component. However, understanding of AM process and utilizing process parameters to optimize a design comes with many challenges. Currently, one of the emphasize is to use physics based realistic simulation to replicate the AM process numerically and relate process parameters to the concept of functional generative design that relates design with manufacturing process.
Current work, through a typical build example, discusses an integrated numerical solution on a digital platform that involves the following.
Generative Design involving topology optimization that creates parts in context of the manufacturing process and automatically generate variants of conceptual and detailed organic shapes that helps make informed business decisions based on physics-based analytic tools. Process planning that defines and customizes manufacturing environment including nesting parts automatically on the build tray, designing and generating optimal support structures, and creating machine specific slicing and scan path which is ready for print. Process simulation that automatically includes machine inputs for energy, material and supports into the simulation at layer, part and build levels for any additive manufacturing process and accurately predicts part distortions, residual stresses and as-built material behavior. Finally, the platform involves post processing to perform shape optimization where simulation is used to guide support-structure strategy for enhanced build yield, compensate distortion effects without the need to redesign the product tooling, produce high-quality morphed surface geometry with unchanged topology, and perform final in-service performance validations of manufactured part.

Anubis Manufacturing needed to develop frames to securely hold delicate electronic components inside a mass flow meter they had developed called the ARBOmeter. They chose to use additive manufacturing to produce the frames due to its ability to quickly produce customized parts at a low cost while allowing for continuous testing and design improvements. Specifically, they used a Formiga P100 laser sintering system to produce nylon frames. This allowed them to efficiently produce and modify the frames over 15 design iterations. The laser sintering process also enabled them to design frames with internal channels to help cool electronic components inside the enclosed meter, satisfying its IP65 rating requirements. Anubis was able to minimize production costs and time to market by using additive manufacturing forOpportunities in 3D Printing of Metals 2015-2025

Advance manufacturing process
Non-traditional machining processes like EDM, USM, and WEDM are useful for machining hard materials and complex shapes with precision. EDM works by using electrical sparks to erode material from a part placed close to an electrode tool, allowing intricate shapes to be produced. USM uses an abrasive slurry and vibrating tool to cut materials. WEDM is similar to EDM but uses a continuously moving wire as the electrode. These non-traditional processes are more precise than traditional machines and can machine tough materials that would be difficult to cut otherwise.

Holographic Projection Technology COMPLETE DETAILS NEW PPT
This seminar examines the new technology of Holographic Projections. It
highlights the importance and need of this technology and how it represents the new
wave in the future of technology and communications, the different application of the
technology, the fields of life it will dramatically affect including business, education,
telecommunication and healthcare. The paper also discusses the future of holographic
technology and how it will prevail in the coming years highlighting how it will also
affect and reshape many other fields of life, technologies and businesses.
Holography is a diffraction-based coherent imaging technique in which a
complex three-dimensional object can be reproduced from a flat, two-dimensional
screen with a complex transparency representing amp litude and phase values. It is
commonly agreed that real-time holography is the ne plus ultra art and science of
visualizing fast temporally changing 3-D scenes. The integration of the real-time or
electro-holographic principle into display technology is o ne of the most promising but
also challenging developments for the future consumer display and TV market. Only
holography allows the reconstruction of natural-looking 3-D scenes, and therefore
provides observers with a completely comfortable viewing experience. But to date
several challenges have prevented the technology from becoming commercialized. But
those obstacles are now starting to be overcome. Recently, we have developed a novel
approach to real-time display holography by combining an overlapping sub-hologram
technique with a tracked viewing-window technology.
