A manufacturing surge is underway in the U.S. military, turning billions into #3Dprinted devices. Beehive got a $29.7M SOSSEC consortium contract to make Frenzy 8 & Frenzy 6 engines. Beehive says it can make engines faster & cheaper with #AM than conventional manufacturing. @pilz

Additive Manufacturing of Composite Foam Metamaterial Springs for Vibration Isolation
lnkd.in/gsfevYGU
This research, published #openaccess in Advanced Engineering Materials, introduces a novel approach for reducing the vibrations experienced by passengers in vehicles (1)
using #metamaterials embedded in #polyurethanefoam to improve the existing #vibration isolation capacity of #car #seats . An exploration of quasi-zero #stiffness (QZS) metamaterials has been conducted to develop metamaterial #springs that exhibit a region of (2)
high-static and low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS) to achieve vibration isolation. Metamaterials were developed using low-cost open-source #additivemanufacturing methods, #fdm , and #thermoplastic polyurethane filament. Small-scale models of a car seat were developed by embedding (3)
Let us talk about #vibration #isolation , which is quite pleasing when you are sitting on your car seat on a bumpy road, regardless of whether you have an electric #tesla or now a conventionally combustion car! In the following video, you can see a #foam cube cut from a car (1)
seat on the left and the associated vibration transferred to the top, where the passenger seats are, compared to our latest-developed #composites foam on the right. Both are tested on the same input vibration profile, but it seems you could enjoy working on your tablet more (2)
while riding in your #selfdrivingcars with a more advanced car seat. You would like to know what the new #design is and how it works? Please stay tuned, and it will be updated soon here. (3)
