3-D Printed Walls Getting a Thermal Makeover

Building construction using 3-D printing is becoming more common. The idea is to create consistent structures that can be quickly “printed” reducing costs and improving structural integrity. Much work has been done to ensure the printed walls are structurally sound, but now researchers are working on thermal efficiency now. A study has been performed on […]

Lobsters Inspire 3D Printing Design

One of the hottest topics in the last decade or so has been 3D printing. Almost every issue of ASME magazine has at least one article on 3D printing and several ads for equipment or software to create all sorts of shapes and sizes, from nano size objects like gears to an entire house. A […]
