Sentences with phrase «printed nozzle»

3 - D - printed device builds better nanofibers: Printed nozzle system could make uniform, versatile fibers at much lower cost.

The 3 - D - printed nozzle is also 25 percent lighter than its predecessor, which means lower fuel costs for airlines.

But conventional techniques for printing circuits don't work well with silver nanowires; the nanowires often clog the printing nozzles.

They concluded that the mechanical strength used to push the ink through the printing nozzle was sufficient to align it.

The researchers said that emerging materials may allow 3 - D printers to work faster, thus making it more difficult for smartphone sensors to determine the print nozzle's movement.

These sensors can infer the location of the print nozzle as it moves to create the three - dimensional object being printed.

The INKJET process uses no electrodes, and the voltage is applied only to the piezoelectric printing nozzle.

Not exact matches

GE acquired 3D - printing specialists Morris Technologies in 2012, and uses 3D printing to make fuel nozzles for its new LEAP jet engine.

Notably, GE's new jet engine uses a series of sophisticated 3 - D - printed fuel nozzles; they are lighter and far more durable because intricate cooling channels have been built into them.

Using the idea of the inkjet printer, in which small nozzles shoot ink at the required area, the idea of inkjet - printed biological cells was considered.

An exciting recent development is the High Laydown Technology, a novel way of firing the nozzles during the inkjet printing process.

«Our approach uses electrohydrodynamic printing, which relies on electrostatic force to eject the ink from the nozzle and draw it to the appropriate site on the substrate,» says Jingyan Dong, co-corresponding author of a paper on the work and an associate professor in NC State's Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering.

You need [the ink] to flow out of a nozzle like toothpaste, and it can maintain its shape after it's printed.»

«This hydrogel has ideal flow characteristics for printing through a nozzle,» Zhao says.

For example, a system could have many nozzles like a showerhead, allowing it to print on large areas.

The importance of the technology is already being seen at a number of large companies such as GE who have made enormous strides in industrial 3D printing by opening a facility to produce the 3D printed fuel nozzles for its advanced LEAP jet engines, and Rolls - Royce announcing they will flight - test what it claims to be the largest 3D printed aerospace component to ever power an aircraft.

«Bob Marley» taught me that when you have two nozzles and one jams, you should be able to switch it out with a second nozzle to keep printing.

It took me three months to figure out a nozzle problem — I could print items, but he would jam and smoke all the time.

It will use nozzles to deposit tiny liquid droplets of semiconductor polymer materials on a plastic substrate to form circuits in much the same way that inkjets print type on paper.

As it moves, tiny nozzles spray droplets of ink, forming printed words and pictures.

It also applies firmware upgrades on it own, and automatic maintenance features like print bed detection and automatic nozzle cleaning.
