thin layers of materials (typically, wood) that have been stacked to create a heel.
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the process of turning a 2D digital image into a 3D object through printing
successive layers of materials until an entire item is created.

additional layers of material.
In an additive process, an object is created by laying down successive
layers of material until the entire object is created.
Most solar cells used in homes and industry are made using
thick layers of material to absorb sunlight, but have been limited in the past by relatively high costs.
Some background: 3D printing describes a process in which solid 3D objects are created, one
layer of material after another, from a single digital file.
By measuring how long it took for each kind of wave to reach the seismometer, the researchers could map the depths and consistencies of different
layers of materials in the continental plates.
These Small Cozies have the same
added layer of material (as the bigger versions) to last longer, plus a squeaker to entice play.
Standard waveguides allow waves to pass through in both directions, but Feng's team realized that adding extra
layers of materials with different reflective and refractive properties, at specific points along the tunnel, could break this symmetry.
The smartphone comes with «ShatterShield technology», which includes
multiple layers of material integrated into the device that helps in absorbing the shock and prevents the screen from cracking.
The extra safety feature here is a back cutout that eliminates
extra layers of material between the harness and baby's back; this both prevents slippage and gives you easy access to the harness any time you need it.
Working across painting, installation and public intervention, Zumbé's practice is expressed through a manipulation of space composed
through layers of material and simultaneous perspectives.
Motorola has essentially integrated multiple
layers of material into the device that helps in absorbing the shock and prevents the screen from cracking.
For instance, there are three standard measures of a material's stiffness: One describes its deformation in the direction of an applied force, or how far it can be compressed or stretched; one describes its deformation in directions perpendicular to an applied force, or how much its sides bulge when it's squeezed or contract when it's stretched; and the third measures its response to shear, or a force that causes
different layers of the material to shift relative to each other.
«Palimpsests» is a term used to describe augmented realities brought about by the melding of
layers of material places and their virtual representations.
Making integrated circuits involves depositing
layers of materials such as semiconductors and metals on a silicon wafer.
«Our breakthrough is to integrate optical circuits in the
same layer of material with acoustic devices in order to attain extreme strong interaction between light and sound waves,» said Mo Li, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the lead researcher of the study.
You first have to
deposit layers of material, place a stencil - like mask on it, and then shine ultraviolet light to etch away the exposed material.
These gaseous clouds, called planetary nebulae, are created when stars in the last stages of life cast off their
outer layers of material into space.
Figurative and personal, these elements coalesce in the shallow depth of the walls, accumulating
dense layers of material in transformation.
Many layers of materials from different sources overlay one another, with the final effect being that of an image that refuses to stay fixed, vacillating across different cultures and traditions.
Ofili's early paintings from the»90s were created using his
signature layering of materials, including paint, resin, glitter, and elephant dung, and a diverse combination of iconography.
Constructed from many
layers of material including tri-directional foil and graphite, the work explores Mendez's «multi-ethnic and culturally layered identity as an American - born son of Colombian and Mexican parents,» says Aguilar.
Jeff Juhlin works by
accumulating layers of material, images and color that make up the whole of a work, and then returns to explore, excavate, expose and obscure.
The alternating bands of black and white in jacks allude to the way the natural world
creates layers of material to form a single entity, Kendrick said.
There are four
layers of material protecting the cable's wires: braided nylon, a TPE rubber sleeve, a tinned copper braid, and a grounding layer.
It should give you a rigid straightedge moving on a linear plane that can evenly distribute a
new layer of material.
Liners - Liners are a thin
layer of material which are used to create a barrier between baby's bottom and the inside of the diaper.
In 1960, Pampers aired its first television commercial, riffing on «This Little Piggy,» and touting Pampers» seven
layers of material designed to hold in whatever came out of baby's bottom.
The
bottom layer of the material, described April 3 at the Materials Research Society spring meeting, features carbon nanotube pores embedded within a flexible synthetic polymer film.
Although 3D printing is now possible using relatively small and low - cost machines, it is still a fairly slow process that involves several steps for each printed layer, including the need to reposition the object before adding the
next layer of material.
