3D printing conquers new branches of production due to becoming a more reliable and professional method of manufacturing. The benefits of additive manufacturing such as part optimization, weight reduction, and ease of prototyping were factors accelerating the popularity of 3D printing. Additive manufacturing has found its niches, inter alia, in automotive, aerospace and dentistry. Although further research in those branches is still required, in some specific applications, additive manufacturing (AM) can be beneficial. It has been proven that additively manufactured parts have the potential to out perform the conventionally manufactured parts due to their mechanical properties; however, they must be designed for specific 3D printing technology, taking into account its limitations. The maritime industry has a long-standing tradition and is based on old, reliable techniques; therefore it implements new solutions very carefully. Besides, shipbuilding has to face very high classification requirements that force the use of technologies that guarantee repeatability and high quality. This paper provides information about current R&D works in the field of implementing AM in shipbuilding, possible benefits, opportunities and threats of implementation.

In order to solve the problems of the complicated forming process, poor adaptability, low safety, and high cost of special-shaped energetic grains, light-curing 3D printing technology was applied to the forming field of energetic grains, and the feasibility of 3D printing (additive manufacturing) complex special-shaped energetic grains was explored. A photocurable resin was developed. A demonstration formula of a 3D printing energetic slurry composed of 41 wt% ultra-fine ammonium perchlorate (AP), 11 wt% modified aluminum (Al), and 48 wt% photocurable resin was fabricated. The special-shaped energetic grains were successfully 3D printed based on light-curing 3D printing technology. The optimal printing parameters were obtained. The microstructure, density, thermal decomposition, combustion performance, and mechanical properties of the printed grain were characterized. The microstructure of the grain shows that the surface of the grain is smooth, the internal structure is dense, and there are no defects. The average density is 1.606 g·cm−3, and the grain has good uniformity and stability. The thermal decomposition of the grain shows that it can be divided into three stages: endothermic, exothermic, and secondary exothermic, and the Al of the grain has a significant catalytic effect on the thermal decomposition of AP. The combustion performance of the grain shows that a uniform flame with a one-way jet is produced, and the average burning rate is 5.11 mm·s−1. The peak pressure of the sample is 45.917 KPa, and the pressurization rate is 94.874 KPa·s−1. The analysis of the mechanical properties shows that the compressive strength is 9.83 MPa and the tensile strength is 8.78 MPa.

Abstract The momentum of the additive manufacturing research is on a spurt. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing process has been attracting the attention of the manufacturing community worldwide over the past decade. The 3D printing technology promises significant advances and applications in the area of automobiles, electronics, and medical devices and so on. However, this technology currently suffers from several limitations including large time consumption, need for support structures and limited range of material selection. This prevents its application in mass production. Holographic 3D printing, also referred to as (volumetric additive manufacturing) process is a very recent technique which uses multiple light beams intensified to form a build volume. A photosensitive liquid resin is solidified using the principle of constructive interference. The single light beam is not enough to produce the required intensity to cure the resin. While the combined interference could generate the required energy. The resulting part is printed in a fraction of seconds at once in contrast with the traditional 3D printing technology. This research studies the feasibility of a novel holographic volumetric additive manufacturing with an ultraviolet source of 365 nm as the primary source of energy. This propels the polymeric photochemical reaction between the monomer molecules. Also, experiments are conducted, incorporating various viscosity levels of the photopolymer material to suppress the oxygen dissolution. At the same time to observe the rate of curing of the photopolymer material. Finally, the mechanical properties of the build volume are analyzed.

Additive Manufacturing also known as 3D Printing is a process whereby a real object of virtually any shape can be created layer by layer from a Computer Aided Design (CAD) model. As opposed to the conventional Subtractive Manufacturing that uses cutting, drilling, milling, welding etc., 3D printing is a free-form fabrication process and does not require any of these processes. The 3D printed parts are lighter, require short lead times, less material and reduce environmental footprint of the manufacturing process; and is thus beneficial to the aerospace industry that pursues improvement in aircraft efficiency, fuel saving and reduction in air pollution. Additionally, 3D printing technology allows for creating geometries that would be impossible to make using moulds and the Subtractive Manufacturing of drilling/milling. 3D printing technology also has the potential to re-localize manufacturing as it allows for the production of products at the particular location, as and when required; and eliminates the need for shipping and warehousing of final products.

The development of new bio-based inks is a stringent request for the expansion of additive manufacturing towards the development of 3D-printed biocompatible hydrogels. Herein, methacrylated carboxymethyl cellulose (M-CMC) is investigated as a bio-based photocurable ink for digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. CMC is chemically modified using methacrylic anhydride. Successful methacrylation is confirmed by 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. Aqueous formulations based on M-CMC/lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP) photoinitiator and M-CMC/Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM)/LAP show high photoreactivity upon UV irradiation as confirmed by photorheology and FTIR. The same formulations can be easily 3D-printed through a DLP apparatus to produce 3D shaped hydrogels with excellent swelling ability and mechanical properties. Envisaging the application of the hydrogels in the biomedical field, cytotoxicity is also evaluated. The light-induced printing of cellulose-based hydrogels represents a significant step forward in the production of new DLP inks suitable for biomedical applications.
