THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING IN A NON-GRAVITATIONAL FIELD

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a three-dimensional (3D) printing device (100) capable of printing/creating 3D objects. The proposed printing device (100) comprises at least one robotic arm (102) operatively configured with one or more nozzles (104) that dispenses an shear thickening fluid (STF) (106) or a non-Newtonian fluid, and an electricity generation system (108) configured to generate electricity of specific rated voltage and current, wherein electricity generated by the electricity generation system (108) flows through the shear thickening fluid (STF) (106), resulting in change in properties of the shear thickening fluid (STF) (106). The shear thickening fluid (STF) (106) is selected from any or a combination of a dilatant material, a shear thickening fluid, a magnetorheological fluid (MRF), an electrorheological fluid (ERF) or iono-printing gel.
