Published: September 2019

Cellulosic materials are commonly used to manufacture the particulate filters used in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing (AM) equipment. An experimental approach has been used to calculate the moisture quantity and kinetics of sorption in a cellulosic filter at varying relative humidity (RH) levels. A prediction of the amount of moisture which can be theoretically held within a filter during storage before its use has been obtained. Subsequently, the quantity and the rate of moisture desorption which can be transferred into the build chamber during LPBF is presented. This work highlights the importance of filter storage and conditioning prior to use in additive manufacturing processing.

Background: Fast and accurate classification of steel can effectively improve industrial production efficiency. In recent years, the use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in conjunction with other techniques for material classification has been developing. Plasma Acoustic Emission Signal (PAES) is a type of modal information separate from spectra that is detected using LIBS, and it can reflect some of the sample's physicochemical information.

Filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) are manufactured in discrete sizes, with some models being limited in relation to accommodating the fit of some sex and race combinations. This study presents the development of a custom-fit respiratory protective device (RPD) which conforms to a user's facial features and flexes and moves with facial movements during use. Our design also integrates a pressure-sensing network, which continuously monitors fit and will alert the user when the fit is compromised.
