3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a manufacturing process that connects materials layer by layer to produce a solid object based on networked digital model files. Advantages of 3D printing over traditional manufacturing include less material consumption, lower costs, faster production process, customizable degrees of freedom and complexity of geometric shapes. The traditional manufacturing of a functional structural part often requires multiple independent process steps, while 3D printing can fabricate the same part in one step, enabling small batch production and customization of personalized products. Due to the diversity of materials available, 3D printing for polymer can be used to create lightweight complex structures in aerospace, models of architectural structures, art reproductions, and biological tissues and organs.
This book shows two Chinese gay men in Buenos Aires and reflects on Hong Kong's past and future by probing masculinity, aggression, identity, and homosexuality. It also gives a reading of Latin America, perhaps as an allegory of Hong Kong as another post-colonial society.
Innovation Strategies in Environmental Science introduces and examines economically viable innovations to optimize performance and sustainability. By exploring short and long-term strategies for the development of networks and platform development, along with suggestions for open innovation, chapters discuss sustainable development ideas in key areas such as urban management/eco-design and conclude with case studies of end-user-inclusive strategies for the water supply sector. This book is an important resource for environmental and sustainability scientists interested in introducing innovative practices into their work to minimize environmental impacts. Presents problem-oriented research and solutions Offers strategies for minimizing or avoiding the environmental impacts of industrial production Includes case studies on topics such as end user-inclusive innovation strategies for the water supply sector
