Admixtures Tune Geopolymer Concrete For 3DCP

Researchers evaluated barium chloride, tartaric acid, sucrose, and sodium tripolyphosphate to tune the printability and mechanical performance of geopolymer concrete for extrusion 3D printing.

Design of the Week: A Sweet Crania Anatomica Filigre

This week’s selection is Joshua Harker’s Crania Anatomica Filigre – but with a difference.  Harker’s Crania Anatomica Filigre emerged quite a while ago in a rather successful Kickstarter campaign. But this instance of the Crania Anatomica Filigre is a little different: it’s made entirely from Sugar!   It is the same design, but simply rendered… Continue reading Design of the Week: A Sweet Crania Anatomica Filigre

A Homebuilt Sugar 3D Printer

RepRap Blogger Jordan Miller reports on an experiment building a unique 3D printer capable of producing sweet sugar glass to aid his bioengineering research. The key problem revolved around being able to use Miller’s BariCUDA extruder, an air pressure-powered extruder. The BariCUDA weighs several pounds and would be difficult to move quickly or accurately with… Continue reading A Homebuilt Sugar 3D Printer
