3D Printing and the Additive Manufacturing Process Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process where an object is created by adding layer-upon-layer of material. This basic process requires the use of a computer, CAD software, the material(s) and the appropriate machine to fabricate the end result. AM has been used in many applications. At first, it was used in Rapid Prototyping (RP). Today, AM is used to create end-products used in many different applications, from aerospace, automotive and…

1. Executive Summary This project describes an orbital space settlement called the ‘Interstellar Terrarium’(IST). It can house upto 50,000 people along with all the necessities. It takes the shape of a cylinder, to which support is given by a framework of strong carbon nanotubes that can bear the pressure of the walls, the atmosphere inside and the foundations for buildings, and thus prevent the walls from getting bowed outwards. The entire cylinder is divided into three concentric cylinders –…

together to create a wide variety of shades. Let’s go more about how these flamboyant colors are obtained. Mica is a natural pigment that gives nails a shimmery look. Silica is a thickening agent that prevents premature settling of pigments. Titanium Dioxide is an ingredient used to increase the coverage of polish and is often used as a white pigment. Bismuth Oxychloride is a special effect pigment that adds a pearlescent shimmer to the…

When I was an infant I never crawled, I just went straight into walking. They believe that’s what caused it, because crawling puts your natural curve in…

Today, nearly half of the women population wears makeup to vanquish flaws and of course, go from a two to a ten. The magic of that is foundation which comes in a variety of shades for every skin tone out there. However, not all foundations are the same.

EXTRACTION Raw materials: The three main sources for pulp production are recycled paper, trees (soft and hard wood) and byproducts (ex. wood chips, saw dusts, etc.). The logs are debarked, and some are chipped down and both are delivered to the pulp industry for conversion. Water is also required throughout the process in great quantity. PRIMARY PRODUCTION (Pulping) Logs, recycled papers, and byproducts are delivered to pulp industries where they go through the process of being turned into…

The Amazon has a relevant position in the world. Notwithstanding the planet knows the Amazon, it is essential to learn more about this complex environment system. It occupies area with more than 3.4 million squared miles, in nine countries in the South America: Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and Peru, being that 60% of its total is in Brazil. It also is in nine Brazilian states: Amazonas, Amapa, Maranhao, Goias, Mato Grosso, Rondônia, Acre, Pará,…

sputtering targets. The result not only related to the different sputtering yields of the zirconium and yttrium19, but also to the separate diffusion velocity at γ-TiAl. Zirconium has the same lattice structure and similar to the atomic radius with titanium, which easy to form the substitutional solid solution. It is beneficial to the process of diffusing into the…
