3D Printing Technologies

This lecture covers various 3D printing technologies, including Fused Deposition Modeling, Binding of Granular Mattings, Vat Photopolymerisation, and the Stratasys Objet500 Connex3. It explains the process of creating objects layer by layer using different materials and techniques, such as extrusion nozzles and foam slabs. The societal impact of 3D printing is also discussed, highlighting concepts like distributed manufacturing, mass customization, and rapid manufacturing. Additionally, the lecture delves into the principles of bioseparation, focusing on techniques like SDS-PAGE and Iso-electric Focussing. The study of proteomics and capillary electrophoresis are explored, along with the equipment and methods involved in these processes.
