Stress on more research on 3D printing technology

RAJSHAHI: Speakers at a scientific workshop here yesterday underscored the need for more research on 3D printing technology for its best cost effective uses, reports BSS.
They viewed the three-dimensional printing technology is not only for meeting up the instant demand but also opened up a new prosperous door of fulfilling the future demand. So, there is no way but more research to make the technology cost-effective to the users.
Department of Information and Communication Technology and Faculty of Engineering of Rajshahi University jointly organised the international workshop on 'three dimensional printing technology' at RU Senate Building.
More than 75 experts and academics from the departments concerned and two from Japan are taking part in the workshop.
Vice-chancellor of Rajshahi University Prof Mijanuddin and vice-chancellor of Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology Prof Rafiqul Alam Beg addressed the inaugural session of the two-day workshop as the chief and special guests respectively with Prof Abu Zafar Towhidul Islam, Chairman of the department, in the chair.
3D printing technology expert Dr Hidomitsu Furkawa from Yamagata University in Japan presented the keynote paper while workshop coordinator Prof Dr Hasanat Kabir welcomed the participants.
Prof Mijanuddin said printing parts in 3D is getting increased attention because of its novel applications. Farm machinery manufacturers use 3-D printers to make prototypes of parts overnight. And 3-D printers are reaching a price point that the average consumer can afford. Printing an object in three-dimensional form, called 3-D printing, has been around since the 80s.
But it has received more attention lately because of the materials now used for printing, along with a concurrent price drop for 3-D printers, which are reaching the levels that consumers can afford.
Results indicated that 3D printing may provide a suitable platform for performance testing in biophotonics, although subsurface imaging is critical to mitigate printer-to-printer variability in matrix homogeneity and feature microstructure.
