(Photo: Shekunj) The inauguration of Kerala's inaugural 3D-printed structure, a 380-square-foot single-room summer house, is scheduled to take place on October 10 at the Kerala State Nirmithi Kendra (Kesnik) campus located in PTP Nagar, Thiruvananthapuram. Conceived as a showcase initiative, the summer house named AMAZE-28 was successfully finished within a mere 28 days. This impressive project was executed by Tvasta, a construction technology startup based in Chennai, founded by alumni of IIT-Madras, who have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Kesnik. AMAZE-28 is perched upon a concrete foundation atop a gentle elevation within the Kesnik campus. Febi Varghese, the Director and Chief Executive Officer of Kesnik, p
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is one of the advanced manufacturing method. Additive manufacturing method includes a number of technologies. Various types of additive manufacturing or 3D printing has been discussed previously, if you want to read it, pleas click here . In this article we will study about the materials used in additive manufacturing or 3D Printing. Primary materials used in additive manufacturing are: Polymers Metals Ceramics Material used in Additive Manufacturing. Nowadays, composite is also being used in 3D printing. The composite is a material, which is made up of two different materials. The composite used in 3D printing may be of: Composite of Metal and Polymer Composite of Polymer and Ceramics Composite of Metal and Ceramics Polymers Polymer is most popular in 3D printing, because it is cheap and technology which used polymer as feed material for 3D printing, are also easily available and simple in design. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is one of
