For years Carbon nano-tube has shown merits in industrial applications including high structural strength-to-weight ratio. However, from structural mechanics perspective the tube geometrical ...

Need a steel beam? You can 3D print PLA beams that are as strong as a steel beam of equivalent weight according to [RepRap]. The Python code for FreeCAD generates a repeating structure especially well ...

To address porosity and defects in metal 3D printing, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers experimented with exotic optical laser beam shapes known as Bessel beams — reminiscent of ...

Sheet handling, particularly dealing with heavy metal plates, glass panels, or synthetic slabs, introduces complex physical challenges. Improperly specified equipment not only disrupts automated ...
