Master's student of South Ural State University became the winner of the UMNIK competition. He is working on a project to create technology for recycling plastic waste into wire for 3D printing as part of a grant program. This technology will significantly reduce the cost of production and make 3D printing more accessible. nine0024
Additive technologies are technologies for building up and synthesizing objects in layers. 3D printing is a type of additive manufacturing that allows you to create various products - from medical prostheses to souvenirs and toys. 3D printers work due to a movable print head with a heating element. Plastic is fed into it in the form of a rod, which melts and is squeezed out in liquid form onto the printing table. The plastic is cooled by a fan and hardens instantly, and the device extrudes a new layer on top of the frozen one. nine0003
First-year master's student in the field of "Technological Machines and Equipment" Sergey Zaramenskikh creates a new technology for the production of wire for a 3D printer.
This technology will reduce the amount of plastic waste and print new products on a 3D printer. This will significantly reduce the cost of printing for the end user. The project manager is a senior lecturer of the department "Processes and machines for metal forming" Oleg Siverin .
“At the moment, studies have been carried out on the strength characteristics of various types of plastics, a model of crushing equipment has been designed and calculated, and a mock-up corresponding to the technology has been made. Also, equipment for defragmentation of plastic is manufactured. We hope to create a complete technological line that will be in demand not only at processing enterprises, but also among small enterprises, since this plant will differ from analogues in its compactness. Also, the result of the project is a wire for 3D printing made from waste,” says Sergey. nine0024
In the course of the work, it turned out that there was little information on the study of the properties of polymers of various types in the public domain, and it was decided to conduct our own set of tests, on the basis of which the parameters of the technological process would be developed.
South Ural State University (SUSU) is a university of digital transformations, where innovative research is conducted in most priority areas of science and technology development. In accordance with the strategy of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation, the university is focused on the development of major scientific interdisciplinary projects in the field of digital industry, materials science and ecology. In the Year of Science and Technology, SUSU will take part in the competition under the Priority 2030 program. The university performs the functions of the regional project office of the Ural Interregional Scientific and Educational Center of the world level (UMNOC). nine0003

students of several Swiss universities combined animation and robotics in the Dyana project to create a mechanical cat with the maximum realist movements. The complex structure was realized using several 3D printing technologies, including selective polymer powder laser sintering (SLS) on a Sintratec 3D printer. nine0003
The Dyana project began in the fall of 2020 as a collaborative effort of fourteen students from four universities - ETH Zurich, Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and Northwestern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences ( FHNW).
The children had to create a unique robot: according to the designers' idea, a robo-cat should be able to realistically move and express emotions.
nine0003
“Our idea is to combine animatronics and movie characters with highly mobile robots that can move around in the real world. Building a robot from scratch in just nine months, including the development of legs, pelvic and shoulder mechanisms, is a difficult task. From the very beginning, we decided to take advantage of the freedom of design available through additive manufacturing,” says Andrina Grimm, an engineering student and head of the department responsible for the mechanical part of the project. nine0003
The team used several 3D printing technologies at once, including selective thermal sintering of polymer powders (Multi Jet Fusion), 3D printing familiar to FDM lovers, and selective laser sintering (SLS). In particular, the skin of the robot was printed on a laser 3D printer. Some parts are made in two copies at once, so that in the event of a breakdown when the car falls, they can be quickly replaced and testing can continue.
The skin is made of polyamide-12, and the Swiss company Sintratec, which produces SLS 3D printers, helped with the production. nine0003
“The three main criteria are weight, design freedom and production speed so that we can change designs quickly. The skin, for example, consists of very light parts, as we tried to reduce the overall mass of the system. The hips and shoulders are made using selective laser sintering technology using polyamide-12. This made it possible to obtain sufficiently impact-resistant and flexible parts,” explains Andrina.
The use of 3D printing technology has eliminated costly alternatives such as single-piece heat-pressing or injection molding. The finished parts were painted, provided with silicone pads and installed on the car. The project will form the basis of the theses of several participants. nine0003
“Our project demonstrates the suitability of 3D printing for the manufacture of robot bodies. I believe that this technology has a huge potential in the field of robotics,” concludes Andrina.
