A MIT Media Lab graduate student has developed a tulle-like textile – DefeXtiles - by controlling a common 3D printing defect, the under-extrusion of polymer filament. Jack Forman used a standard, ...

This text focuses on advanced methods for predicting and avoiding the occurrence of defects in manufactured products. It covers the major manufacturing operations, and considers conventional and new ...

Researchers have discovered the primary mechanism driving the extrusion of dying cells from epithelial monolayers. Researchers from the Mechanobiology Institute, Singapore (MBI) at the National ...

Defects in angioplasty balloon material, which result in product discards, may represent a significant portion of production. Abbas Tcharkhtchi and Erik Andersen Angioplasty balloons are critical ...

Researchers have studied how layer height, flow rate and overlap affect green and sintered density, defects and shrinkage in MEX-produced copper parts.

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

Schematics showing the arrangement of cells in normal epithelial tissue (a), following the introduction of a topological defect (b) and the site of cell death and extrusion following the appearance of ...
