Mentioned that 3D printing must be related to the materials in which it is used. But whether it is plastic, metal or ceramic, it is different from traditional materials. These materials are now widely used, but there will still be a lot of "original" materials, which will make you feel bright and sigh with "it can be used like this." Based on this, 3Dnatives selected the 12 most specific 3D printed materials that inspired the idea of ​​optimal creativity.
TOP1-melted edible material
When it comes to chocolate, people's faces naturally show a smile. So to tell you, it is achievable to print chocolate with FDM. During the printing process, each layer is a certain thickness of chocolate, but the printing speed is slow and takes a long time because the printing temperature is relatively low (this It is to preserve the flavor of chocolate). The famous American chocolate brand Hershey's is developing a 3D printer, named Cocojet, and the corresponding 3D printing system.
TOP2- Dust to dust, earth return... Statue?
Everyone wants to be remembered in a special way when they leave the world. Chinese artist Zhufei meets these requirements with a wonderful idea. He used the ashe as a printed material to make a statue of a deceased person. The whole process takes only 3 hours, after which the family can leave with the statue made. This idea is a bit shocking, but it can help people retain memories of their loved ones.
TOP3-Beer can not only drink but also grow fiber!
From food to drinks, beer is versatile. American fiber producer 3Dom is known for its coffee and hemp-based biomaterials. Recently they developed a long fiber made from beer. The fast-running long fiber has the natural color of beer, and the main raw material is the waste residue generated during PLA and beer brewing. The price of 500g/roll long fiber sold on 3D-Fuel is $39.99 (about £32). Now it's incredible how you can make a beer mug with your favorite beer.
TOP4- sand and sahara
Solar Sinter is a 3D printer invented by Markus Kay. Kay's goal is to create 3D printers that meet the needs of today's protection resources. The equipment uses laser sintering technology, which first uses solar radiation to heat the material, using materials that are gravel in the desert. After the solar energy is heated, the layers are sintered to make the final product. Regardless of the raw materials or the environment, the more inventions, the better!
TOP5- The art of sugar
3D Systems, which launched ChefJet Pro in 2015, is the only manufacturer that uses granulated sugar (in the form of powder at the time). 3D Systems wants to decorate the Versailles milk cake with 3D printed sugar to demonstrate the potential of the device. A few months ago, MIT student Victor Leugn worked with a Chinese company to develop a 3D sugar sculpture. He was inspired by the production of glass and found that sugar is very similar to glass.
TOP6- recycling car tires
The United States scraps 259 million tires a year, which has become a major source of pollution worldwide. To solve this problem, a California-based company decided to reuse it by turning them into raw materials for 3D printing. They made an object called "Rubber Pouff" by selecting the laser sintering technology and recycling the powder from the tires, and they believed that this method could be extended to other companies.
TOP7-dough when
Italian producer Barilla showed off their first 3D pasta printer. This printer can print pasta in 2 minutes. This equipment is mainly for the catering industry, and the manufacturer claims that this equipment is perfect for restaurants and pasta lovers. The raw materials required for printing are water and flour, and the FDM technique is used to stack the layers of the paste into the desired shape. At present, the equipment is still in the prototype stage, and the manufacturer said it is expected to launch molding equipment later this year.
TOP8- glass crystal
Israel's Micron3DP (in collaboration with MIT) demonstrated 3D glass printing technology a few months ago and is ready to commercialize it. The glass has strong chemical inertness, biocompatibility, simple sterilization and other excellent properties required by the pharmaceutical and aerospace industries. To achieve transparency, the printer needs to be warmed up to 1640 ° C (2984 ° F). The printing of the target component is primarily by fused deposition techniques. High temperatures impose certain restrictions on the entire manufacturing process.
TOP9- chewing gum and 3D printing
Chia-Ling Lin and Maria Nelson jointly established Gumlab.uk, the first 3D printing gum company in the UK. They used a printing device called GumJet, which is a classic 3-axis FDM printer, but uses different materials. What kind of raw materials are used? You may already know from the title, that is, chewing gum. During the printing process, various flavorings are added to the gum base to achieve different flavors of the final product. Printing is performed by extrusion and layer stacking. According to the designer, the printed chewing gum has the same taste as the traditionally made chewing gum, but the taste is different, and the special taste between the different layers will be understood as soon as you eat it.
TOP10- Who said that cork can only be used to stopper bottles?
Usually cork stoppers are used as stoppers for wine bottles (about 80% of cork stoppers are used as stoppers). Colorfabb, a Dutch company, discovered that it could be used for other purposes, that is, cork fibers can be used as 3D printing materials. This material, called CorkFill, can be used on any FDM 3D printer without the need for special technical requirements such as temperature. Such fibers are typically printed at 210°-230° C (410° - 446° F).
TOP11 - Re-creation of bamboo
Following the fibrils, Colorfabb also aimed at bamboo, a plant that is often associated with pandas and is very lush in China's mountains. Bamboo is hollow and grows fast. The material called BabooFill is made by mixing PLA/PHA with bamboo fiber. It is 100% organic, excellent in adhesion and isotropic properties, and has a very good taste. The printed taste is similar to everyone's favorite. The taste of popcorn.
TOP12-linen and fiber
The French design company Texilis, whose innovations are mainly around linen. They designed linen-based 3D printing fibers for use in a variety of situations, such as construction, leisure, and 3D printing. This fiber is biodegradable based on PLA and is suitable for most FDM 3D printers. It has better endurance and flexibility than plastic, and each print layer is thinner, which in turn reduces the overall quality of the product.
The combination of 3D printing technology and various materials will undoubtedly bring unlimited imagination to designers.
This is the idea that materials and processes bring to the product, and we can't explain whether the product leads the development of the material process, or the material process promotes the birth of the product, and the only thing that can be confirmed is that the process, products and materials complement each other. ,Indispensable.
