Novel Scanning and Post-processing Strategy for Additive Manufacturing
THE CHALLENGE Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is really viscous and hard to process, so it can’t be used for injection molding. THE CHALLENGE Chris Williams and his lab have developed a novel scan strategy that allows for the use of polymers that are much more viscous than are normally compatible with 3D printers. They allow space...

Unlocking True 3D Printing Potential
xt-align:justify">THE CHALLENGE 3D printing has transformed industries by enabling the use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques. Unfortunately, most 3D printing is done by sequentially printing two dimensional layers; this means that classic 3D printers are unable to fabricate parts with complex load paths. The weaknesses introduced at layer interfaces...

PMU-Embedded Analytics for Online Event Detection and Classification in Power Grids
The energy requirement of the world is increasing exponentially every year. With the power demand sites concentrated in the region with the highest population density, energy production sites must be located remotely. This isolation requires lengthy and complicated grids to be designed and manufactured to transmit power over long distances. Grid failures...
