We are really excited about this project! Combining #additivemanufacturing, #robotics, and #polymerscience (w/ our good friends @TELongLab) to make tire retreading more sustainable 😍
Old tires can get a second life with less waste in this new process developed in an interdisciplinary collaboration including the @DREAMSLab, @TimLongASU, and @Michelin. news.vt.edu/articles/2023/06…

We are thrilled to be included in the #CoolParts Showcase at @FormnextForum! The "#generativedesign #quadcopter" was printed with our robotic #3dprinting workcell through our custom toolpath workflows. Catch the highspeed print video here: youtube.com/watch?v=g0TsQKhD… #FFA2023
It was a competitive field, but after careful review of dozens of entries, we selected 15 finalists for The #CoolParts Showcase. See them here: additivemanufacturing.media/… and in person at @formnextforum in August. #3Dprinting #additivemanufacturing #ffa23 #ffa2023 #formnextforum

In our latest paper, "Impact of binder on part densification: Enhancing #binderjetting part properties through the fabrication of shelled geometries," we show that printing shelled geometries results in denser and stronger parts! Congrats @KaziMoshiur08 doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2022…

This micrograph got us excited when we first saw it -- it really shows how binder affects the sintered part!
