Abstract Scope |
Three Additive Manufacturing technologies, Contour Crafting (CC), Selective Inhibition Sintering (SIS), and Selective Separation Shaping (SSS) have been conceived, developed and offered to the commercial market by the speaker. The tale of CC is that of a passionate effort which started from its simple beginning and continued to home building, to building on the Moon and Mars and more. SIS started with polymeric part printing and evolved to a technology for printing metallic parts. SSS was inspired by a specific NASA project need for construction of Lunar landing pads and quickly expanded into a general AM technology for printing with high temperature metals and ceramics. The presentation will show that traversing such paths has only been made possible by strong belief in the essence of each idea and its potential impact, as well as a passion which provided the energy to hold on and sustain in spite of unfavorable circumstances. |
