Researchers have a major investigation into a self-glazing 3D printed ceramic, inspired by ancient Egyptian Faience ceramic techniques. The process they aim to develop would enable ceramic artists, designers and craftspeople to print 3D objects in a ceramic material which can be glazed and vitrified in one firing. The researchers believe that it possible to create a contemporary 3D printable, once-fired, self-glazing, non-plastic ceramic material that exhibits the characteristics and quality of Egyptian Faience. The work offers the theoretical possibility of a printed, single fired, glazed ceramic object - something that is impossible with current technology.

The basic method involves feeding wire-shaped pieces of titanium into a machine for smelting. But first specifications are entered into a computer program in the machine which determines the resulting shape of the components. The process produces components that can range from five centimeters to nearly two meters in length. Minimal waste – fast production The traditional method of producing components of titanium involves using forged plates, blocks or rods depending on the product specifications. These are then shaped into the desired components through machining. This production method has two significant drawbacks: First, machining can lead to as much as 70 per cent of the material being lost as waste. This loss is very costly, as titanium is more difficult to recycle than other materials and the price of titanium plates is NOK 1 000 per kilo. Second, the production process is very lengthy. NTiC expects their new production technology to reduce delivery times by many months. In addition, the company forecasts that material waste can be limited to 10-20 per cent and that their prices will be 30-50 per cent lower than those of their competitors. NTiC will also be able to produce titanium components of a much higher quality than what the industry can offer today. The coil clay method is shown above and is described at this link Read more » • Email to a friend • Article Search • Broadcom Chief Technologist predicts 1 gbps wireless in 2027 while South Korea rolls out 100 Mbps wireless in 2013 One of several predictions by Broadcom chief technologist Henry Samueli is that by 2027, mobile devices will sport all-digital radios and Gbit/second cellular modems powered by 16-core apps processors running at 5 GHz. This prediction seems to be way too conservative. TheVerge - Korean carrier SK Telecom is hoping to push the limits of LTE speed by combining multiple frequencies in one network. At the beginning of July, it launched the first commercial Multi Carrier (MC) network, which combines frequencies from the 800MHz and 1.8GHz bands and distributes traffic between them as necessary, keeping service stable even during high use times. Currently, service is only available in Seoul's Gangnam district; the rest of the city and areas in six other metropolitan centers should see it by the end of the year, with more expansions to follow. A pilot program has been running since May. SK Telecom users would see 60Mbps download speeds this year and 100Mbps by 2013. SK Telecom Korea announced that it would offer mobile internet speeds of up to 100 Mbps using a technology called Heterogeneous Network Integration Solution. The system works by combining existing networks — such as Wi-Fi and 3G or Wi-Fi and LTE — to provide a service that equals the sum of the two network speeds. Korean LTE can theoretically achieve 100Mbps speeds already; back in the USA, T-Mobile has discussed implementing an 86Mbps HSPA+ network, and Clearwire says it has reached 90Mbps at testing sites. The distributed traffic and multiple networks provides a better guarantee of always being able to reach the 100 Mbps.
