Compared with methods that use liquid crosslinker, the use of mist prevents the leaching of biocompounds into the liquid crosslinker. 3D printing technique was chosen to provide more versatility over the wound dressing geometry. Calcium chloride and rhodamine B were used as the crosslinking material and the model drug, respectively. Various biomaterial inks were prepared by different concentrations of sodium alginate and albumin, and the fabricated scaffolds were crosslinked in mist, liquid, or kept without crosslinking. The effects of biomaterial composition and the crosslinking density on the wound dressing properties were assessed through printability studies.

However, some critical shortcomings of AM/3DP processes related to the build quality and process repeatability are frequently experienced and reported in the literature. In this study, an <i>in situ</i> real-time nondestructive monitoring framework based on the dispersive properties of phononic crystal artifacts (PCAs) to address such quality challenges is described. Similar to a witness coupon, a PCA is printed alongside a build while it is interrogated and monitored with ultrasound. A PCA is substantially smaller than the actual build. Due to its periodic internal structures, a PCA creates pass and stop bands in its spectral response, which are sensitive to the variations in its process and material parameters. These periodic structures, representing the geometric complexities of an actual build, are designed for a specific monitoring objective(s) in AM/3DP. As a model application, in this demonstration study, the effect of the laser scanning speed of a slective laser melting (SLM) printer on the spectral properties of metal PCAs (mPCAs) is ultrasonically evaluated offline. The dependency of the pressure and shear wave speeds, the apparent Young's and shear moduli, and Poisson's ratio on the scanning speed are quantified, and it is found that they are highly sensitive to the laser scanning speed of an SLM printer. The sensitivity of the peaks of the pressure and shear spectral waveforms acquired for the identical mPCA designs printed on the same build plate with the same process parameters is also quantified. For powder-based AM/3DP technologies, where scanning speed is among the crucial process parameters such as laser power and bed temperature, the reported correlations between scanning speeds and the mechanical and spectral features of the mPCAs are expected to be instrumental in developing <i>in situ</i> real-time monitoring systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":54341,"journal":{"name":"3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11442159/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45485714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typical sintering cycles require heating at temperatures above 80% of the melting point for several hours. The process is time- and energy-consuming, particularly when high-melting materials are involved. Applying pressure can drastically reduce the time and temperature required for densification. Recently, a particular kind of pressure-assisted sintering process known as spark plasma sintering (SPS) or field-assisted sintering (FAST) received considerable attention in academia and industry due to its ability to enhance densification. However, conventional SPS/FAST techniques cannot be directly applied to the densification of objects presenting a complex geometry. This work shows how a modified SPS/FAST setup, operating in a pseudoisostatic mode, can be used for debinding and sinter objects produced by material extrusion. This approach can be applied to metals and metal-based and ceramic-based composites when their geometry does not include closed cavities. Depending on the characteristics of the pressure-transfer medium, some level of anisotropy in the volume reduction associated with the densification can be observed. Still, it can easily be corrected by appropriately compensating sintering deformation during printing. Using this approach, the time required for the debinding and sintering can be reduced considerably. It represents an alternative approach to the AM of a wide range of inorganic materials characterized by a relatively low-cost, high material flexibility, and low environmental impact.</p>","PeriodicalId":54341,"journal":{"name":"3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11442151/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41717016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
