Fused quartz

The two main types of 3D printing are FDM and SLA. FDM stands for Fused Deposition Modeling, in FDM a thermoplastic resin, usually in the form of a wire (Figure 7), is fed through a hot extruder in turn heating the plastic allowing it to become formable. As the plastic is heated it is precisely placed by the printer head…

This essay examines the implications of waste in design and manufacturing with regard to the nature and future sustainability of practices considered modern by contemporary standards. Practices, such as CNC (computer numerically controlled) machining and additive manufacturing such as 3D printing, are the benchmark for modern manufacturing; 'In the domain of manufacturing, computer numerically controlled (CNC) technology is a major contributor to the production capacity of the…

The Big Three Choosing one of the Big Three for a project can be a very difficult task, but hopefully after reading this you will have a better understanding of when to use which. There are many differences between the Big Three. Firstly, they are all part of Adobe Creative Suite and they are: Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

Inside the rock was a clear white stone, which we know today as quartz. Hephaestus proceeded to break up the stone into thirteen pieces. The extra he threw…

Solution growth deposition This technique consists essentially of inserting the substrate into a solution containing hydrolysable metal compounds and pulling it out at a constant speed into an atmosphere containing water vapour. In this atmosphere, hydrolysis and condensation takes place. Finally the films are hardened by a high temperature cycle to form transparent metal oxides. Any hydrolysable compound including halides or nitrates but preferably metallo-organics are suitable…

of the house”. Within the show, there is an absence of the traditional male hero, with all of the protagonists identifying as female, obliterating the trope of a “helpless woman in need of a knight in shining armor”. Greg’s relationship with Rose Quartz, Steven’s mother who was the former leader of the Crystal Gems before she gave up her physical form in order to birth him, reverses the norms of roles in a relationship. Rose is much taller and simply larger than Greg, and serves as the…

Introduction The space hotel is named Caelum, which is the Latin term for space, universe, and heaven. This name represents the future of luxurious travel, taking humans into outer space on an amazing vacation. Not only is this an amazing chance to travel into space and live there for a week or two, but it is also a once in a life time opportunity. Caelum lets the people who have already traveled to all seven continents get the full experience, and travel to a place “out of this world”. This…
