Ceramic materials suitable for AM methods often lack essential material properties such as density or mechanical strength, which hinders the wider industrial application of 3D-printable technical ceramics. Recently, Fortify, a Boston-based 3D printing company, partnered with Tethon 3D, a company specialized in ceramics-based additive manufacturing, to advance the adoption of technical ceramics in various additive manufacturing applications.
This article outlines the reasons of the causes of time-dependent plasticity.
Without a continual supply of semiconductor materials, a great number of technology sectors would experience manufacturing delays, supply shortages, or—in the extreme case—an abrupt termination of product. In this piece, it is examined why there is currently a shortage of chips, which companies this is having an impact upon, and what the circular economy might be able to lend to address the issue.
