TransPrint is a method for fabricating flexible, transparent free-form displays based on electrochromism. Using screen-printing or inkjet printing of electrochromic ink, plus a straightforward assembly process, TransPrint enables rapid prototyping of displays by nonexperts. The displays are nonlight-emissive and only require power to switch state and support the integration of capacitive touch sensing for interactivity. We present instructions and best practices on how to design and assemble the displays and discuss the benefits and shortcomings of the TransPrint approach. To demonstrate the broad applicability of the approach, we present six application prototypes.

This research utilizes a 2D printer mechanism from a commercial available inkjet printer, combines with hardware and software to build up a new concept 3D printer. This 3D printer can receive printing information from personal computer, and setting the required layer thickness to stack those layers into a solid model. The largest build volume is 300x420x350 mm, print head resolution is as high as 1200x2400 dpi, and the life of printer head is longer than 12 weeks which is far longer than 4 weeks of Z Corp’s. There are many specifications are better than or equivalent to those of Z Corp’s Z-510 which is the state-of-art machine of this powder based rapid prototyping.

The use of rapid prototyping technologies in the manufacturing ceramic materials has been developed in recent years due to its many advantages. Studies combining rapid prototyping using biomaterials as raw material increased significantly in recent years. The inkjet printing involves using ceramic powder with binder and a fluid released onto the sample through a printhead. The effect of dispersant in conventional manufacturing of alumina-based materials was widely known. However, there are few studies dealing on this issue for rapid prototyping. This work aims to obtain pieces of alumina via a 3D printer, inkjet model, varying concentrations of dispersant and fluid in order to compare its influence. The specimens were evaluated for their apparent porosity, density and dimensions. It was concluded that 1.0% of dispersant combined with a larger amount of solvent resulted in parts with suitable dimensions and higher mechanical strength.
