Characterization of Radiation Shielding Capabilities of High Concentration PLA-W Composite for 3D Printing of Radiation Therapy Collimators
“This work evaluates the radiation shielding capabilities of the PLA-W composite for MV energy photons emitted by a linear accelerator and the feasibility of manufacturing a clinically-used collimator grid in spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) using the material extrusion (MEX) 3D printing technique. The PLA-W filament used has a W concentration of 93% w/w and a green density
Venting Your Kiln

A Design Strategy for Removing the Debinding and Sintering Gas in Additive Manufactured Samples of a Bronze/Polylactic Acid Filament
“To lower the cost of additive manufacturing of metallic components, the goal of this work is to investigate and optimize a multi-step process by material extrusion (MEX) of a polylactide filament loaded with bronze to remove the gas produced during the debinding and sintering steps. First, by adjusting the infill (10%, 50%, and 100%), and
Energy Efficiency in Additive Manufacturing: Condensed Review
“Today, it is significant that the use of additive manufacturing (AM) has growing in almost every aspect of the daily life. A high number of sectors are adapting and implementing this revolutionary production technology in their domain to increase production volumes, reduce the cost of production, fabricate light weight and complex parts in a short

Multifunctional HKUST-1-3D-printed device for the simultaneous extraction of hydrocarbons and dyes from water
“Herein, we report a MOF polymer coating and in-situ growth mixed strategy to fabricate a multifunctional floating 3D printed device for simultaneous hydrocarbon and dye removal. Due to the superhydrophobic properties (water contact angle = 151o) of the upper part of the device, it was applied for the removal of oil from water, obtaining excellent separation efficiency (from 90 to 98.6 %) for
The effect of 3D printing parameter variations on tensile strength using filament made of PLA-Titanium
“Titanium is a biocompatible material. Applications are used in the medical world to make implants and hard tissue replacements. The technique used is usually SLM (selective laser melting). Recently introduced titanium filament for FDM technique feed, but the mechanical properties of 3D printing products with this filament are not yet known. Titanium can be made
