Miniature 3D-Printed Centrifugal Pump with Non-Contact Electromagnetic Actuation.

ABSTRACT: We present a miniature 3D-printed dynamic pump using the centrifugal operating principle. Dynamic pumps typically yield higher flow rates than displacement pumps at reasonable output pressure. Realizing smaller devices suitable for millifluidic and microfluidic applications brings challenges in terms of design, fabrication and actuation. By using microstereolithography printing we have reduced the overall size to an effective pumping volume of 2.58 mL. The free-moving rotor consists of an impeller and permanent magnets embedded during the printing process, which allow for non-contact electromagnetic actuation. The pump is driven by periodically switching the current through stator coils, controlled by a custom built circuit using a Hall effect sensor. It achieves a maximum flow rate of 124 mL/min and a hydrostatic pressure of up to 2400 Pa.

3D Printed Contact Lenses.

Project description:Although the manufacturing processes of contact lenses are well established, the use of additive manufacturing for their fabrication opens many new possibilities to explore. The current study demonstrates the fabrication of personalized smart contract lenses utilizing additive manufacturing. The study includes 3-dimensional (3D) modeling of contact lenses with the assistance of a computer aided designing tool based on standard commercial contact lens dimension, followed by the selection of the suitable materials and 3D printing of contact lenses. The 3D printing parameters were optimized to achieve the desired lens geometries, and a post processing treatment was performed to achieve a smooth surface finish. The study also presents functionalized contact lenses with built-in sensing abilities by utilizing microchannels at the contact lens edges. Tinted contact lenses were printed and nanopatterns were textured onto the contact lens surfaces through holographic laser ablation. 3D printed contact lenses have advantages over conventional contact lenses, offering customized ophthalmic devices and the capability to integrate with optical sensors for diagnostics.

Addressable Acoustic Actuation of 3D Printed Soft Robotic Microsystems.

Project description:A design, manufacturing, and control methodology is presented for the transduction of ultrasound into frequency-selective actuation of multibody hydrogel mechanical systems. The modular design of compliant mechanisms is compatible with direct laser writing and the multiple degrees of freedom actuation scheme does not require incorporation of any specific material such as air bubbles. These features pave the way for the development of active scaffolds and soft robotic microsystems from biomaterials with tailored performance and functionality. Finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics are used to quantitatively predict the performance of acoustically powered hydrogels immersed in fluid and guide the design process. The outcome is the remotely controlled operation of a repertoire of untethered biomanipulation tools including monolithic compound micromachinery with multiple pumps connected to various functional devices. The potential of the presented technology for minimally invasive diagnosis and targeted therapy is demonstrated by a soft microrobot that can on-demand collect, encapsulate, and process microscopic samples.

The Actuation Mechanism of 3D Printed Flexure-Based Robotic Microtweezers.

Project description:We report on the design and the modeling of a three-dimensional (3D) printed flexure-based actuation mechanism for robotic microtweezers, the main body of which is a single piece of nylon. Our design aims to fill a void in sample manipulation between two classes of widely used instruments: nano-scale and macro-scale robotic manipulators. The key component is a uniquely designed cam flexure system, which linearly translates the bending of a piezoelectric bimorph actuator into angular displacement. The 3D printing made it possible to realize the fabrication of the cam with a specifically calculated curve, which would otherwise be costly using conventional milling techniques. We first characterized 3D printed nylon by studying sets of simple cantilevers, which provided fundamental characteristics that could be used for further designs. The finite element method analysis based on the obtained material data matched well with the experimental data. The tweezers showed angular displacement from 0° to 10° linearly to the deflection of the piezo actuator (0-1.74 mm) with the linearity error of 0.1°. Resonant frequency of the system with/without working tweezer tips was discovered as 101 Hz and 127 Hz, respectively. Our design provides simple and low-cost construction of a versatile manipulator system for samples in the micro/meso-scale (0.1-1 mm).

Non-Contact Multiscale Analysis of a DPP 3D-Printed Injection Die for Investment Casting.

Project description:The investment casting method supported with 3D-printing technology, allows the production of unit castings or prototypes with properties most similar to those of final products. Due to the complexity of the process, it is very important to control the dimensions in the initial stages of the process. This paper presents a comparison of non-contact measurement systems applied for testing of photopolymer 3D-printed injection die used in investment casting. Due to the required high quality of the surface parameters, the authors decided to use the DPP (Daylight Polymer Printing) 3D-printing technology to produce an analyzed injection die. The X-ray CT, Structured blue-light scanner and focus variation microscope measurement techniques were used to avoid any additional damages to the injection die that may arise during the measurement. The main objective of the research was to analyze the possibility of using non-contact measurement systems as a tool for analyzing the quality of the surface of a 3D-printed injection die. Dimensional accuracy analysis, form and position deviations, defect detection, and comparison with a CAD model were carried out.

Impact of the Addition of a Centrifugal Pump in a Preterm Miniature Pig Model of the Artificial Placenta.

Project description:The recent demonstration of normal development of preterm sheep in an artificial extrauterine environment has renewed interest in artificial placenta (AP) systems as a potential treatment strategy for extremely preterm human infants. However, the feasibility of translating this technology to the human preterm infant remains unknown. Here we report the support of 13 preterm fetal pigs delivered at 102 ± 4 days (d) gestation, weighing 616 ± 139 g with a circuit consisting of an oxygenator and a centrifugal pump, comparing these results with our previously reported pumpless circuit (n = 12; 98 ± 4 days; 743 ± 350 g). The umbilical vessels were cannulated, and fetuses were supported for 46.4 ± 46.8 h using the pumped AP versus 11 ± 13 h on the pumpless AP circuit. Upon initiation of AP support on the pumped system, we observed supraphysiologic circuit flows, tachycardia, and hypertension, while animals maintained on a pumpless AP circuit exhibited subphysiologic flows. On the pumped AP circuit, there was a progressive decline in umbilical vein (UV) flow and oxygen delivery. We conclude that the addition of a centrifugal pump to the AP circuit improves survival of preterm pigs by augmenting UV flow through the reduction of right ventricular afterload. However, we continued to observe the development of heart failure within a matter of days.

Rapid and selective actuation of 3D-printed shape-memory composites via microwave heating.

Project description:Three-dimensional (3D) printing allows the fabrication of complex shapes with high resolutions. However, the printed structures typically have fixed shapes and functions. Four-dimensional printing allows the shapes of 3D-printed structures to be transformed in response to external stimuli. Among the external stimuli, light has unique advantages for remote thermal actuation. However, light absorption in opaque structures occurs only near the sample surface; thus, actuation can be slow. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate the rapid and selective actuation of 3D-printed shape-memory polymer (SMP) composites using microwave heating. The SMP composite filaments are prepared using different amounts of graphite flakes. Microwave radiation can penetrate the entire printed structures and induce rapid heating. With sufficient graphite contents, the printed SMP composites are heated above their glass transition temperature within a few seconds. This leads to rapid thermal actuation of the 3D-printed SMP structures. Finally, dual-material 3D printing is demonstrated to induce selective microwave heating and control actuation motion. Our experiments and simulations indicate that microwave heating of SMP composites can be an effective method for the rapid and selective actuation of complex structures.

Digital Light Processing 3D-Printed Ceramic Metamaterials for Electromagnetic Wave Absorption.

Project description:Combining 3D printing with precursor-derived ceramic for fabricating electromagnetic (EM) wave-absorbing metamaterials has attracted great attention. This study presents a novel ultraviolet-curable polysiloxane precursor for digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing to fabricate ceramic parts with complex geometry, no cracks and linear shrinkage. Guiding with the principles of impedance matching, attenuation, and effective-medium theory, we design a cross-helix-array metamaterial model based on the complex permittivity constant of precursor-derived ceramics. The corresponding ceramic metamaterials can be successfully prepared by DLP printing and subsequent pyrolysis process, achieving a low reflection coefficient and a wide effective absorption bandwidth in the X-band even under high temperature. This is a general method that can be extended to other bands, which can be realized by merely adjusting the unit structure of metamaterials. This strategy provides a novel and effective avenue to achieve "target-design-fabricating" ceramic metamaterials, and it exposes the downstream applications of highly efficient and broad EM wave-absorbing materials and structures with great potential applications.

Image collection of 3D-printed prototypes and non-3D-printed prototypes.

Project description:Image processing refers to the use of computer algorithms to manipulate and enhance digital images to improve their quality or to make them more suitable for tasks such as classification. Common benchmarking datasets in this field include the imagenet, CIFAR-100, and MNIST datasets. This dataset is a collection of images that are particularly relevant to engineering and design, consisting of two categories: 3D-printed prototypes, and non-3D-printed prototypes This data was collected through a hybrid approach that entailed both web scraping and direct collection from engineering labs and workspaces at Penn State University. The initial data was then augmented using several data augmentation techniques including rotation, noise, blur, and color shifting. This dataset is potentially useful to train image classification algorithms or attentional mapping approaches. This data can be used either by itself or used to bolster an existing image classification dataset.

3D-Printed Carbon-Based Conformal Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Module for Integrated Electronics.

Project description:Electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI SE) modules are the core component of modern electronics. However, the traditional metal-based SE modules always take up indispensable three-dimensional space inside electronics, posing a major obstacle to the integration of electronics. The innovation of integrating 3D-printed conformal shielding (c-SE) modules with packaging materials onto core electronics offers infinite possibilities to satisfy ideal SE function without occupying additional space. Herein, the 3D printable carbon-based inks with various proportions of graphene and carbon nanotube nanoparticles are well-formulated by manipulating their rheological peculiarity. Accordingly, the free-constructed architectures with arbitrarily-customized structure and multifunctionality are created via 3D printing. In particular, the SE performance of 3D-printed frame is up to 61.4 dB, simultaneously accompanied with an ultralight architecture of 0.076 g cm-3 and a superhigh specific shielding of 802.4 dB cm3 g-1. Moreover, as a proof-of-concept, the 3D-printed c-SE module is in situ integrated into core electronics, successfully replacing the traditional metal-based module to afford multiple functions for electromagnetic compatibility and thermal dissipation. Thus, this scientific innovation completely makes up the blank for assembling carbon-based c-SE modules and sheds a brilliant light on developing the next generation of high-performance shielding materials with arbitrarily-customized structure for integrated electronics.

Multi-organ immunity on a 3D-printed multi-tissue chip with tubing-free impeller pump

Project description:Multi-organ-on-chip systems (MOOCs) have the potential to mimic communication between organ systems and reveal mechanisms of health and disease. However, many existing MOOCs are challenging for non-experts to implement, due to complex tubing, electronics, or pump mechanisms. In addition, few MOOCs have incorporated immune organs such as the lymph node (LN), limiting their applicability to critical events such as vaccination. Here we developed a 3D-printed, user-friendly device and companion tubing-free impeller pump to co-culture two or more tissue samples, including a LN, under a recirculating common media. Native tissue structure and immune function were incorporated by maintaining slices of murine LN tissue ex vivo in 3Dprinted mesh supports for at least 24 hr. In a two-compartment model of a LN and an upstream injection site, vaccination of the multi-tissue chip was similar to in vivo vaccination in terms of locations of antigen accumulation and acute changes in activation markers and gene expression in the LN. We anticipate that in the future, this flexible platform will enable models of multi-organ immune responses throughout the body.
