Manufacturing & Materials
The MELD Manufacturing 3PO system is an advanced hybrid manufacturing platform that redefines how, where, and when large, forged parts are produced, repaired and sustained. The 3PO integrates MELD Manufacturing’s patented Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD) forging process with proven precision subtractive machining processes into a single system;
Although vibration has been used in the past to minimize weld distortion, results have been inconsistent. Plus, if the vibration is produced with electric power, it poses a risk: loss of welding ground could result in the welding "signal" to be sent thru the vibrator's ground line, damaging it and the power cord and source, perhaps starting a fire.
Globally, tens of thousands of wind turbine blades are being retired without scalable, sustainable reuse pathways. These blades—built from glass-fibre composites—are often landfilled, incinerated, or shredded into low-grade filler. At the same time, the construction industry is seeking cost-effective, fire-rated façade materials with a lower carbon footprint. This project proposes a transformative solution: a mobile,
In high-stakes environments like semiconductor fabs, industrial shops, and hospitals, cleaning isn’t just about getting surfaces spotless—it’s about safety, performance, and environmental impact. That’s where Nano Cleaner 100 comes in.
Created by the team at DTL Chemical, Nano Cleaner 100 is a next-generation cleaning solution built for the modern era.
The Next-Gen Smart Wheelchair is an advanced mobility solution designed to empower individuals with physical disabilities, including visually impaired users. It integrates Braille-script controls for seamless navigation, ensuring inclusivity and ease of use. A GPS module with voice assistance enhances real-time location tracking, helping users navigate safely while allowing caregivers to monitor movement remotely.
Approximately, 45 children are killed and 1100 are hospitalized annually from furniture tip overs in the U.S. (CPSC).
The extended baseboard of the HinesLab Non-Tipping Dresser creates a freestanding dresser that can be rearranged like any other furniture without leaving holes in the walls.
The goal is keeping kids safe,
Our design introduces a unique approach to transform inherently brittle materials, such as ceramics, into adaptable and tough structures through the ancient art of origami, enabled by additive manufacturing (AM) and elastic coating. Traditionally, brittle materials fail catastrophically under stress, which limits their use in applications that require damage-tolerance behavior.
PET Bottle Filament Extruder is an innovative, sustainable solution designed to address the growing environmental issue of plastic waste, specifically focusing on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. With the increasing consumption of plastic and the inefficiency of large-scale recycling systems, especially in countries like India where over three million tons of PET waste are discarded annually,
Labeling is failing, not just aesthetically or functionally, but systemically. Across the most widely used plastics in the world, polyolefin thermoplastics like HDPE, PP, TPO, and TPV, traditional labels peel, fall off, or are never able to adhere at all. These materials make up 66% of the plastics used in industries producing long-life products: reusable packaging, automotive dunnage,
This system for lifting up dog poops is different from all the others, since once your pet has done its own, you don't have to bend down to pick up the poop. With this device you pick it up and at once you seal the bag with electricity, without knots or direct contact.
