- “Shaking Table Test of a Friction Sliding System on a Concrete Member with Variable Curvature Fabricated by a Three-dimensional Printer” (link), Miguel B. Brito, Mitsuyoshi Akiyama,Tetsuta Seto, Riki HondaO, Naomitsu Ishigaki
- Selected quote/point of interest: “The proposed friction pendulum sliding system for bridge structures provides a low-cost design solution that can ensure post-event operability.”
- “Developments in 3D Printable Composite Material” (link), Authors: Senthil Kumar, Gundluru Mahammad Wahab, Lekkala Yuva Srinivas, Aumalasetty Jaswanth, Guddeti Rama Thulasi Reddy
- Selected quote/point of interest: “The interlayer bond strength between successive filament layers with and without nanoparticle addition is determined by the help of 4-point bending test. This is a crucial test for 3DPC, as the interlayer bond strength is typically weaker than the concrete itself. Adequate rheology can result in filament layers were merged in order to form a homogenous concrete section and it leads to resulting in stronger structures without weak interlayer bonds.”
- “Research on desktop 3D Printing Multi-Material New Concepts” (link), Authors: F Fenollosa, R Uceda, A Tejo, L Calvo, L Poudelet, I Buj
- Selected quote/point of interest: “Revolver print-head: suitable solution if the multi-materiality is limited to filaments, using up to five different materials. It is considered impossible to combine FFF (filaments) and DIW (liquids) print-heads in a single rotating structure.”
- “Comparison of multi-axis printing strategies effects on large-scale 3D printed surface quality” (link), Authors: Martin Krčma, David Paloušek
- Selected quote/point of interest: “Τhe combination of nonplanar trajectories and multi axis motion brings real expansion of capabilities for large scale FDM style printing. When printing large scale objects with large nozzle sizes, single line walls are often all that is necessary to achieve desired structural performance and this, combined with the limited ability of screw extruders to perform retractions, leads to the vase mode printing being a very suitable choice. Using this methods, stable wall thickness and large overhang angles of at least 75° are achievable and quality of single walled objects is increased in regards to surface roughness at overhang angles over 15° and mechanical strength, with 20% loss of maximum average delamination force for 5-axis nonplanar trajectory at 45° compared to 50% loss for 3-axis planar trajectory.”
- “Systematic analysis of additive manufacturing for printing on semi-finished parts” (link), Authors: M Kizak1, A Matschinski, K Drechsler
- Selected quote/point of interest: “The complied approach enables the manufacturing of hybrid components consisting of semi-finished parts with a complex surface geometry and printed segments.”
- “Geometrically modified auxetic polyurethane foams and their potential application in impact mitigation of masonry structures” (link), Authors: Mohammad Asad, Tatheer Zahra, David P.Thambiratnam, Tommy H.T. Chan, Yan Zhuge
- Selected quote/point of interest: “Unreinforced masonry structures constructed along busy road have been vulnerable to vehicular impacts with damage to property and harm to the occupants of both the building and vehicle. This paper investigated the design and insertion of various forms of geometrically modified auxetic foam structures inside the hollow cores of block masonry walls for mitigating the adverse effects of such impacts.”

- Selected quote/point of interest: “The test bench is provided with independent controllers for both the 3D printing and the inspection subsystems, but also with a top level control software that enables a coordinated working of both subsystems to make it possible to digitize a layer after being deposited and to continue then producing the part. Robustness and accessibility were some constructive criteria but also the use of technology similar to that of a commercial FFF 3D printer.”
You’ve made it to the End; hoorah! hat-off.. until the next time 😉
