Additive manufacturing is the process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer.
Few African countries process their own raw materials - rather, the value is added elsewhere, to the benefit of others.
About ten years ago, we began the process of cataloging these materials and determining which were her personal items and which were historically significant.
Rather, it refers to the process of dealing with materials and matter on a nano or molecular scale and, as such, cuts across an array of industries and scientific disciplines.
McNamara feels the network will serve as a platform for the exchange of open-source components, a way to "process" those raw materials into something that is useful and available to the entire community.
Nanosys, Inc. is an advanced material architect, harnessing the fundamental properties of inorganic materials into process ready systems that can integrate into existing manufacturing to produce vastly superior products in lighting, electronic displays, solar power and energy storage.
Fortunately for the future of the battery, it turns out its color molecules are also carriers of carbonyl and hydroxyl groups that make it ripe for use as an electrode and that purpurin is far easier to process than other organic materials: "These aromatic systems are electron-rich molecules that easily coordinate with lithium, " said CCNY Professor George John.
ENGADGET: Scientists develop eco battery powered by root-extracted dye
The result is that despite the strength of the materials, the process is too expensive to be practical.
FORBES: Caltech Researchers Develop Cheap Process for Metallic Glass
Drawing on more than 150 years of materials science and process engineering knowledge, Corning creates and makes keystone components that enable high-technology systems for consumer electronics, mobile emissions control, telecommunications and life sciences.
ENGADGET: Samsung Galaxy S sporting Gorilla Glass to protect that precious AMOLED
It also consumes an awful lot of other materials in the process as well, like wood and paper and all of those sorts of things, which produce a lot of waste at the end of the production.
FORBES: Doddle Of The Dead - Putting The App In Zombie Apocalypse, Part 1
They should try to diversify their economies and to process more of their own raw materials.
Lynas says it intends to process the radioactive waste into other materials, such as road surfacing, diluting it.
By the process of elimination, industrials and materials sectors over-discount earnings recovery.
The process of reviewing all of the materials could take a month or longer because some documents are encrypted and written materials have to be translated from Arabic into English, officials said.
This is a fractious, finicky process and tiny defects in the materials, or failures in the alignment of the different layers, can result in 20% or more of a batch being scrapped.
ECONOMIST: Electronic screens as thin as paper are coming soon
He used them as the raw materials to rebuild his manufacturing process.
FORBES: Dana Vollmer: The Definition of What it Really Means to be a Champion
In the Era of Product Recalls, for example, the very choice of the materials used in the manufacturing process can be subject to ongoing review.
The process started with 30 tonnes of raw materials and 500 tonnes of solvent and usually requires a dozen separate chemical steps and takes more than two years.
Prisoners searched using the scanners had to volunteer to be part of the process, so all of the illegal materials detected during the test were carried by prison officers who agreed to be part of the trial.
Commissioned as part of the UNESCO-USA-Brazil project Teaching Respect for All and carried out in cooperation with the Centre of Human Rights Education, Lucerne, Switzerland, the study also makes recommendations in terms of content, methodology, usability and process for the future development of education materials against racism, discrimination and intolerance.
All the challenges associated with putting solar cells on unconventional materials are avoided with the new process, vastly expanding the potential applications of solar technology.
FORBES: More Solar Innovation: Stanford's Peel and Stick Flexible Application
It is quite possible that technologies being developed for other purposes (such as lasers, which are useful for all sorts of advanced materials processing) will make the process cheaper and easier still.
Researchers have already become much better at understanding how the structure of new nano-engineered materials will behave, although the process remains largely one of trial and error because different samples have to be repeatedly manufactured and tested.
Former Greenpeace activist Annie Leonard, author of the book "The Story of Stuff, " and host of an online video, said 99 percent of all the materials that flow through the production process becomes trash within six months.
To pull this off they took advantage of a number of recent engineering advances reduced anode-cathode spacing, evolved microbes and novel separator materials though the fundamental process is pretty straight-forward: special bacteria (those evolved microbes) are introduced to organic waste material.
FORBES: Better Than A Kite In A Thunderstorm: The New Science Of Generating Zap From Trash
The treatment, which is currently a three-step process involving zinc oxide, silica, and other materials, takes about a day.
The plastination process involves replacing the natural body fluids with synthetic materials such as silicone rubber, epoxy resin or polyester.
The process involves pumping water containing small percentages of other materials into the porous shale under pressure to hydraulically fracture it and release the trapped oil and gas.
FORBES: Promised Land's Fracking Fictions: OPEC Goes Hollywood With Crocudrama
First, it has widened an important split between makers of many final consumer products (such as Sony, Sharp and Matsushita's Panasonic brand) and the scores of focused Japanese firms that feed materials, components and equipment into the process.
Samsung has been working on a factory process that uses the traditional dispersal of the three color materials, though with some refinements.
