Abstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to discuss the use of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a water-soluble support material in desktop three-dimensional (3D) printing. Using a water-soluble material as one of the printing filaments in a dual-extrusion 3D printer provides the flexibility of printing support structures and rafts in complex components and prototypes. This paper focuses on the challenges of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)–PVA dual-extrusion printing, and optimal settings and techniques for such hybrid printing. Design/methodology/approach – Several hybrid ABS–PVA parts were printed using a commercial desktop 3D printer. An experimental study was designed to examine the solubility of the PVA support in water by varying four different parameters: length of time in water, water temperature, stirring rate and PVA surface area. The rate of PVA solubility in water was then used to examine its relationship with each parameter. Findings – Numerous problems were encountered while printing ABS–PVA printing parts, including storing the spool of PVA in a dry environment, determining optimal extrusion and build plate temperatures and ABS–PVA adherence during dual extrusion printing. There is no strong literature to address these challenges. Hence, optimal settings and techniques for effective hybrid ABS–PVA were determined. Print yields were also recorded to examine the reliability of ABS–PVA printing. Research limitations/implications – The tendency of PVA to absorb moisture resulted in a number of build fails and prevented build times longer than 40 minutes. Future work can explore how to print PVA directly from a dry environment. Practical implications – The optimal settings and techniques for dual-extrusion ABS–PVA printing that are presented in this paper can effectively be used to explore prototyping of geometrically complex parts with PVA as support material. Originality/value – In addition to the practical implications, the results from this work are a valuable addition to the literature related to printing using water-soluble polymers such as PVA. The experimental methods and techniques of this paper can be used to assess the reliability of similar 3D printing technologies.

Abstract:
Team ethnography for a desktop printer manufacturer in two Brazilian cities on desktop printers and printing is reported here. Our team aimed to resolve an initial puzzle about printers and ink and explored what was going on with the desktop printers as they were acquired, used, and maintained. Our work expanded to encompass the LAN house, small shops, often operated by entrepreneurs, that provide access to the Internet and to printing. The research led to an intrapreneurial modification of a long-standing desktop printer business model by the client. The article concludes by exploring how entrepreneurs (shop owners and teams doing ethnography for hire) and intrapreneurs (those who venture from within a large enterprise) widen the scope of their venturing to encompass wider social and political issues like moral panic, poverty reduction programs, and building social capital in low-income communities in the course of entrepreneurial venturing.

There has been significant excitement surrounding the potential of desktop 3D printing. Some predict that household ownership for some users is only a few years away, while others go as far as to assert desktop printers will follow a comparable trajectory to personal computers. This thesis challenges the validity of these claims and presents a more realistic future state for desktop 3D printing based on the barriers that the industry faces today. This thesis also provides valuable insight into the technological and social improvement areas on which lead users, makers paces, and manufacturers alike must focus in order to take the steps necessary to transform desktop 3D printing into a viable, valuable, and usable technology for the masses. This thesis includes four elements: 1) a thorough literature review, 2) a review of industrial and desktop 3D printers, 3) field interviews with existing and potential users, and 4) a makerspace review. Together, these study areas provide a system-level view of the current state of the desktop 3D printing industry, reveal a unique set of barriers preventing the technology from reaching the mainstream stage, and offer valuable evaluations regarding the efficacy of active enabling mechanisms. It is shown that, although the current enablers will eventually help push desktop 3D printing utilization to the mainstream stage, a significant amount of time and energy must be dedicated to this effort. Over the course of the next ten years, a sharp increase in the use of desktop 3D printing will be observed, but this use will be limited almost exclusively to users accessing 3D printers via qualified technologists in makerspaces and other educational settings. It will be crucial for lead users and manufacturers to focus on fostering the current enablers and implementing the potential enablers over the course of the next ten years in order for users to understand and be able to capture the value of desktop 3D printing.

Abstract:
As IT industries develop, upgrade and diversify, heterogeneous operating environments running a mix of new and legacy systems become increasingly important. Such environments are currently inadequate due to lack of compatibility with each other. This thesis investigates how agents can be utilised to facilitate such heterogeneous environments, aiding enterprise systems in building bridges between incompatible software and hardware systems. An autonomous agent has independent agency and decision-making astuteness. When placed in heterogeneous environments to interact with other such agents, the consequences of its action and its preferred choice of actions are greatly influenced by actions of other agents interacting in heterogeneous environments. The main objectives of this thesis include examining the roles of agents in heterogeneous operating environments, development of a novel multi agent base architecture and an associated framework for single and heterogeneous environment. The research work also studies the plausible application to test the developed proof of concept by developing application and using the framework that utilises Windows services in a totally incompatible Solaris based Sun Ray ultra thin client environment. The work includes a novel method of modeling agent based communication architecture suitable for correspondence between two inherently different operating systems - Solaris and Microsoft Windows. The circumstances in which coordination or coordination failure occurs between these systems are investigated. The proposed method of agent based communication that can potentially overcome the barriers formed by two completely different software and hardware architectural regimes. An analysis of printing services in MS Windows and Solaris environments, review the age long problem of lack of device drivers for commonly (and cheaply) available Ink Jet printers for Unix (and like) operating systems. A novel method is proposed that uses agents in heterogeneous environment to overcome this problem. A new architecture that utilises Windows based printing services on a Sun Ray ultra thin client is presented to test and evaluate the proof of concept. This thesis is motivated by the need to provide a low cost printing solution to Sun Ray users. Most Windows based desktop users currently have access to variety of low cost printing solutions. Printer vendors ship device drivers only for Windows or at most Macintosh, as other operating systems such as Solaris, MVS, z/OS are used for corporate solutions and low cost desktop printing have not been a major requirement in the past.

In 2013, the White House announced an initiative designed to move America into the new digital era, this time the digital manufacturing era. An instrument pillar of the digital manufacturing is 3D printing, a 30-year technology traditionally found in industrial settings but have since evolved rapidly and extended beyond those frontiers. In recent years, desktop 3D printers have carved out a market for itself and have become the fastest growing segment within the additive manufacturing industry. What initially started as an aficionado's pursuit has since turned into a maker's movement, empowering the general user and redefining how physical objects are conceptualized and produced. The increased availability of desktop 3D printers, introduction of new robust materials, and emerging robust design and modeling software, have all piqued interests among the public in 3D printing and contributed to novel applications of the technology. As the technology becomes more prevalent and the users adapting it beyond novelty applications, so does the technology need to evolve to satisfy those emerging requirements. In the current state, 3D printing is well suited to fill a void within the spectrum of needs, and excels in delivering unique value propositions to the beneficiary. The decision to embrace 3D printing is a complex one involving multivariate dimensions, including awareness of the technology and skill requirements, and the perception of benefits. In summary, overcoming the sociotechnical and infrastructural challenges may be the key to realizing mainstream adoption of 3D printing.

Abstract:
Some futuristic technologies belong to a distant time that is hard for most to imagine in palpable terms. In the case of 3D printing, however, any citizen can easily grasp the stakes by simply watching a brief video (). The 3D printer, whose ancestry can be traced to factory innovations of the 1980s, provides a method of assembling objects piece by piece: a kind of less precise nanotechnology for the macro-level. Within a decade humans might be able to print functional body parts, bringing an end to the grisly waits for donated organs and the even more grisly international organ trafficking rings. Some believe that the “killer app” for 3D printing will be found in the printing of food, perhaps replacing single-site restaurants with a home library of Platonic forms of gourmet cuisine. Still others celebrate or fear the printing of assault rifles on a desktop, whether by right-wing citizens, convicted felons, or the mentally ill. One can expect the easy availability, in residential privacy, of all manner of benign and malignant objects, transforming economic structures, social life, and domestic security in roughly fifteen to twenty years.

Abstract:
Low-cost 3D desktop printing, although still in its infancy, is rapidly maturing, with a wide range of applications. With its ease of production and affordability, it has led to development of a global maker culture, with the design and manufacture of artefacts by individuals as a collaborative & creative hobbyist practice. This has enabled mass customization of goods with the potential to disrupt conventional manufacturing, giving more people access to traditionally expensive products like prosthetics and medical devices [1], as is the case with e-NABLE, a global community providing open source prosthetics for people with upper limb deficiencies. However one of the major barriers to proliferation of 3D printing as a major manufacturing method is the limitation of compatible materials for use with the technology [2]. This places constraints on the design approach, as well as the complexity & functionality of artefacts that can be produced with 3D printing as compared to traditional manufacturing methods. As a result, devices like the e-NABLE Raptor Reloaded prosthetic hand, which is designed specifically to be produced via a single extruder FDM desktop 3D printer, have limited functionality as compared to conventional prosthetics, leading to low active use and prosthesis abandonment [3]. However, with the advent of multi-material desktop 3D printing, and increasing availability of a broader range of compatible materials (of varying characteristics) [2], there is scope for improving capabilities of low-cost prosthetics through the creation of more sophisticated multi-material functional integrated devices. This work documents the exploration of potential applications of multi-material 3D printing to improve production, capabilities and usability of low-cost open source prosthetics. Various material combinations were initially studied and functional enhancements for current 3D printed prosthetics were prototyped using key material combinations identified. Further, a user-centered design approach was utilized to develop a novel multi-material anthropomorphic prosthetic hand ‘ex_machina’ based on a modular platform architecture, to demonstrate the scope for reduced build complexity and improved dexterity & functional customization enabled by dual extrusion FDM desktop 3D printing. A full prototype was built & tested with a lead user, and results analyzed to determine scope for optimization.

Abstract:
This paper presents a summary of a task to provide individual Navy project engineers with analytical tools that enable them to perform Weibull failure and related analyses on a desktop computer. Similar tools have been available on mainframe computers for over a decade while only fragmented and incomplete tools existed for desktop computers. There is now available an integrated computer program that allows Navy project engineers and other Navy analysts to perform rigorous trade-off and what-if analyses in an interactive manner without having to send the problem off to their organizational central computer facility. The resulting computer codes exist in several forms to fit the various needs and computer configurations, such as: direct input of data, data file creation and update, and non-printing versions for those who have no printer available. Included in the codes are three Monte Carlo routines and several test plan generation codes. These codes have not been released to the general public as yet and are currently restricted to Navy units such as laboratories, Naval Aircraft Rework Facilities (NARF) and the Naval Air Systems Command Headquarters (NAVAIR). Public release is expected in mid-FY 89.
