Distributed digital manufacturing offers a solution to medical supply and technology
shortages during pandemics. To prepare for the next pandemic, this study reviews the state …

Fused particle fabrication (FPF)(or fused granular fabrication (FGF)) has potential for
increasing recycled polymers in 3-D printing. Here, the open source Gigabot X is used to …

A promising method of enhancing the circular economy is distributed plastic recycling. In this
study plastic waste is upcycled into 3-D printing filament with a recyclebot, which is an open …

Abstract Background Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a process for creating 3D objects
with various geometries using digital modeling, and it is widely used in the construction and …

Past work has shown that particle material extrusion (fused particle fabrication (FPF)/fused
granular fabrication (FGF)) has the potential for increasing the use of recycled polymers in …

Through reduced 3-D printer cost, increased usability, and greater material selection,
additive manufacturing has transitioned from business manufacturing to the average …

The paper describes an open source computer vision-based hardware structure and
software algorithm, which analyzes layer-wise 3-D printing processes, tracks printing errors …

Centralized waste plastic recycling is economically challenging, yet distributed recycling and
additive manufacturing (DRAM) provides consumers with direct economic incentives to …

Although small solar photovoltaic (PV) systems avoid most soft costs, they still have a
relatively high $/W value due to racking costs. In order to fulfill the promise of small-scale …

Fixed-tilt mechanical racking, consisting of proprietary aluminum extrusions, can dominate
the capital costs of small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Recent design research has …
