Abstract:

Contour crafting (CC) is a advanced building printing technology being researched by Behrokh Khoshnevis of the University of Southern California's in the Viterbi School of Engineering that uses a computer-controlled crane to build homes rapidly and efficiently with substantially less manual labor. It was originally designed as a method to construct molds for industrial parts. Khoshnevis decided to adapt the technology for rapid home construction as a way to rebuild homes after natural disasters, like the devastating earthquakes. Using a quicksetting, concrete-like material, contour crafting fo

Abstract:

Contour Crafting is a novel technology in construction industry based on 3D printing that uses robotics to construct free form building structures by repeatedly laying down layers of material such as concrete. It is actually an approach to scale up automatic fabrication from building small industrial parts to constructing buildings. However, there are little information about contour crafting (CC) in current use; present paper aims to describe the operational steps of creating a whole building by the machine reviewing relevant literature. Furthermore, it will represent the advantages of CC usa

Abstract:

Contour Crafting is a digitally controlled construction process invented by Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis that fabricates components directly from computer models, using layered fabrication technology. By obviating the need for formwork used in traditional concrete construction, CC can reduce costs and construction times significantly. The technique has great potential as a robotic form of construction reliant on relatively minimal human labor as a form of construction in relatively hazardous environments, such as the Moon with its radiation levels that can prove highly damaging.

Abstract:

AbstractContrary to what might be expected from such a thinker, Jonathan Edwards was restrained in conversation with the Reformed debate about the order of the divine decrees, known as the infralapsarian/supralapsarian debate. I will address Edwards's caution regarding this particular debate: first, by tracing the contours of the broader Reformed debate on the divine decrees and its evolution from engagement of Arminian theology to that of theodicy; second, by noting where Edwards does not speak to this debate and exegeting the few passages where he does take it up; third, by analysing the par

Abstract:

Cleft lips and palates are congenital anomalies affecting the mouth and face. For fully edentulous patients with a cleft palate, crafting complete dentures is particularly challenging. These dentures, which incorporate an obturator and extend into the palate, must be meticulously designed to address issues related to appearance, speech, swallowing, and chewing. Treatment for cleft lip and palate aims to restore function, speech, and aesthetics through the use of fixed prostheses, removable prostheses, and implants. The approach should follow key principles of oral rehabilitation, including mai

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction A transparent facial orthosis (TFO) is crucial for managing scars in burn cases. However, TFOs are typically static and rigid, lacking adaptability to facial movements. Their effectiveness depends on the ability to conform to each patient's unique facial contours and applying the correct amount of pressure to scars. Crafting or modifying TFOs is a time-consuming, skilled, and costly process. To address these challenges, we've developed the flexible and adaptable Sequential Compression Appliance to Reduce Scarring (SCARS) mask in collaboration with a local prosthetic and o

Abstract:

As the knowledge economy develops further, two new paradigms - the intuition economy and the allocation economy - will use technology and data analytics to enhance human creativity and maximize resource allocation. This research examines the development and incorporation of these economic models. Over the past ten years, the exponential rise in artificial intelligence and automation has revolutionized economic output. Using current technologies, around half of all working tasks worldwide might be automated, therefore influencing almost 800 million jobs by 2030. Although demand for creative, so

: Contour crafting application has been widely used in different industrial, pharmaceutical, medical, and aviation application for more than three decades. Recently, mega-sized 3-D printers were developed, with sufficient capability to print full scale construction projects, including walls, homes, bridges, and multi-story buildings. Successful 3-D printing of projects is accomplished by additive manufacturing (AM) process through the placement of successive layers of construction materials using robotic arms (3-D printers). This layered construction, known as contour crafting, is controlled b
