3D Printing. (and more) Nick Birbilis
Where do I come from? It s a real pleasure to be here at Australian Mining and Energy I am fortunate to have what I believe is a bit of a fun talk, blending technology and context
The worlds quickest intro into 3D printing for the non 3D printer Polymers Metals Ceramics Composites
Relative cost The worlds quickest intro into 3D printing for the non 3D printer Polymers Metals Ceramics Composites 1k 100k 1M+ FDM Resin-based methods SLS Polyjet DLD SLM Being codeveloped by us in 2017 FDM with multiple extruders *ignoring non-printing fabrication methods
Fused deposition modelling

OK. So now I am assuming all of us are 3D printing experts. Resources 2050: Technologies transforming the industry
Carried on >1600 media sites 3D printing can help reduce new engine development time from the current 20 years down to 3 years
+ Alcoa transforming its business towards powder supply, etc.

In the context of today..what is being done in the trenches? 3D printing of Stainless steel
No stone being left unturned. Nanoscale x-ray mapping 100nm
