4D Printing Technology: Future of Manufacturing
4D printing is an advanced additive manufacturing technology that combines 3D printing and stimulus-responsive materials to generate dynamic, intelligent structures. The generated structures’ shape and size change under the influence of environmental stimuli, such as heat, light, humidity, water, chemicals, magnetic fields, and others. With this additional dimension, 3D-printed structures can alter their shape over […]
Adoption of 3D Printing in Various Industries
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, was first developed in 1980. It was only an idea in 1980; it has come long since then. Earlier, it was mainly used for prototyping. Since then, this technology has significantly expanded across various industries. Almost anything can be 3D printed — parts of a house, liver tissues, […]
Marine Oil Spill Clean-up Technologies
Oil spills have been recorded as a serious environmental threat. Increased deep-sea oil production and exploration, and oil transportation over the seas are the major reasons for oil spillage. Spilled oil must be removed from the water or the surface to protect the water and the environment. Marine oil combat is carried out to protect […]
