Medical Applications of 3D Printing and Standardization Issues.

The three-dimensional (3D) printing itself is not a novel technology, it is more than 30 years old. Stereolithographic (SLA) technology has been used as the first and popular technology for medical application of 3D printing. Since 1991 Radiology and Plastic Surgery have published articles about SLA for rapid prototyping anatomical 3D models. Medical applications of 3D printing have been popularizing and stabilizing so far. Implantable medical devices such as metal or absorbable implants, surgical guide systems, prosthesis and orthosis, and 3D anatomical models for normal or diseased anatomy have been developing and expanding its markets so far. There are many obstacles, such as insurance, authorization as a medical device, and lack of standards technology for further expansion of medical applications. Many technical specifications and guidelines for authorization as medical device have been published by regulatory bodies from many countries. Even though international standards for 3D printing have been developing more and more, there have been few standards for medical application of 3D printing. In this harsh environment academia, company, research institute, regulatory bodies, and government have been doing good job for the development of 3D printing industry.

Editors’ Note

Editors’ Note Francis Allard, Bérénice Bellina-Pryce, Julie Field, and Cristina Cobo Castillo Welcome to the latest issue of Asian Perspectives. As always, the journal remains committed to publishing high-quality research articles whose chronological and regional scope reflects its broad readership across East, South, and Southeast Asia and the Pacific region. You will note that several articles in this issue focus on the identification and interpretation of specific materials and technologies. The topics covered by four of the articles include rock art in early Mongolia, bone tools in prehistoric eastern China, metallurgy at the Han empire’s southern periphery, and plant remains and parasite microfossils in pre-contact New Zealand. A fifth article relies on settlement pattern and demographic data from Neolithic and Bronze Age China to draw insightful comparisons between the developmental trajectories of two distant regions. Also included in this issue are three book reviews: one on landscape, nature and historical imagination on the Indian subcontinent (by Pratik Chakrabarti, reviewed by John Lukacs), one on animal classification systems in ancient China (by Ningning Dong, reviewed by You Yue), and a third on the site of Non Ban Jak in Thailand (edited by C.F.W. Higham and A. Kijngam, reviewed by Carmen Sarjeant). We take this opportunity to welcome Cristina Castillo as the journal’s new Book Review Editor (contact apjabre@hawaii.edu) and thank Michèle Demandt for serving as the first editor dedicated to this important section of the journal. Michèle streamlined many of the editorial procedures for the book reviews. We wish her the best in all her future professional and personal endeavors. As mentioned in the previous issue, the Editors and University of Hawai‘i Press recognize the pressures faced by scholars to publish their manuscripts in the shortest time possible. As a way to address this, the journal has begun making “Early Release Articles” (ERAs) available on Project MUSE while manuscripts are still in press. Authors can now expect to see their manuscripts published as (uncopyedited) preprints within a few months of full acceptance instead of having to wait six to nine months for publication of the entire print issue. As a final note, the Editors look forward to meeting many of you at annual international and regional conferences, as well as smaller seminars, where we will be happy to discuss with interested scholars the possibility of publishing their research in Asian Perspectives. Meanwhile, feel free to contact the Editors at apjaeds@hawaii.edu with any inquiries regarding the requirements and timing of the editorial process.

Acceptability Analysis of 3D-Printed Food in the Area of the Czech Republic Based on Survey.

The aim of the research was to observe consumer perceptions of 3D food printing and to highlight possible applications of this production. The questionnaire survey took place in the Czech Republic and was attended by 1156 respondents. The questionnaire was divided into six sections: (1) Socio-Demographic Data; (2) 3D Common Printing Awareness; (3) 3D Food Printing Awareness; (4) 3D Food Printing, Worries and Understanding; (5) Application; (6) Investments. Although awareness of 3D food printing is increasing, a very small fraction of respondents had encountered printed food in person (1.5%; n = 17). Respondents expressed concerns about the health benefits and the reduced prices of novel foods, and they perceived printed foods as ultra-processed foods (56.0%; n = 647). Concerns have also been raised about job losses due to the introduction of new technology. On the contrary, they perceived that quality raw materials would be used to prepare printed foods (52.4%; n = 606). Most respondents believed that printed foods would be visually appealing and would find application in several food industry sectors. Most respondents believed that 3D food printing is the future of the food sector (83.8%; n = 969). The gained results can be helpful for 3D food printer producers, as well as for future experiments dealing with 3D food printing issues.

Hot ceramic lithography of silica-based ceramic cores: The effect of process temperature on vat-photopolymierisation

An enhanced-temperature vat photo-polymerisation of ceramic-loaded mixtures, or so called hot ceramic lithography, has been presented in this paper, for 3D printing silica-based ceramic cores used in the investment casting of hot section parts in aero and industrial turbines. The pre and post-sintering properties of the 3D printed ceramic parts highly depend on the polymerisation degree of the base resin binders and the rheological behaviour of ceramic slurry, and hot lithography can play a significant role both. First, the paper aimed to better understand how different printing temperatures (25,35,45 and 55 °C) would affect the properties of the base binder mixtures before loading ceramic particles, by conducting tensile, DMA and FTIR analysis on binder-only prints. The impact of elevated printing temperature on the mechanical properties of ceramic loaded binder mixtures was further investigated. The highest mechanical properties for the base binder and the ceramic loaded mixtures were achieved when the process temperature was set closer to the binder mixtures' initial glass transition temperature (when the binder is cured at room-temperature). This printing temperature is yet lower than the level causing heat-induced cross-linking yet high to enhance the mobility of monomers and active species, when compared with conventional room-temperature vat photopolymerisation printing. The results indicate that printing temperature, if set as described, can significantly impact the mechanical property of parts and conversion rate of the base binders for a successful print process. The second part of this study investigates the impact of temperature on the rheological behaviour and peeling forces of highly loaded ceramic-loaded mixtures (61.2 vol% of SiO 2 -ZrSiO 4 ). The suspension showed shear thickening behaviour at 25 °C, hindering the replenishment of the slurry during printing, while a high transition from shear-thickening to shear-thinning behaviour, ideal for flawless ceramic 3D printing, was observed at an optimum process temperature of 35 °C. When print temperature increases to 45 °C and then 55 °C, the viscosity of the mixture at very low shear rate (when the material is static during printing) increases, hence affecting peeling forces. Comparing peeling force measurements and FTIR results showed the higher cross-linking density, and the reactivity of the base binder, leads to a stronger adhesion between the cured layers and the printer's transparent film, hence higher separation/peeling forces. To sum up, hot ceramic lithography at the right printing temperature can resolve many print and post print issues, such as deformation and cracking, leading to a stronger and more dimensionally-accurate ceramic components.

Exploring the use of 3D printing in mathematics education: A scoping review

Thanks to the fourth industrial revolution, 3D printing has become a fast-emerging technology that is widely applied across industries. In mathematics education, 3D printing is an innovative way to visualize mathematics concepts (e.g., geometry, calculus) that enables students to develop mathematical and design thinking, as well as digital skills and mindsets. Through digital maker education, students can apply multidisciplinary knowledge to build prototypes and create 3D objects that bring many new opportunities in mathematics formal/informal learning. However, to our knowledge, there is no existing review summarizing the existing evidence of how 3D printing has been applied in mathematics education. As such, this review aims to give a synthesis of the up-to-date literature in the burgeoning topic of using 3D printing in mathematics education. A systematic review was conducted to examine the thematic and content analysis of 30 empirical papers from 2015 to 2022. The review aims to evaluate and analyze different types of participants, methodological approaches, challenges, pedagogies, and technologies used in the selected studies. Although 3D printing has a bright prospect to revolutionize mathematics education, there are still many challenges such as hardware and software optimization, processing, formatting, printing, and maintenance issues. After all, a set of recommendations were listed to guide future researchers and educators to use 3D printing effectively in mathematics education.

PRAGMATIC ISSUES ON MODERN ADVERTISEMENT SLOGANS

In this paper, the pragmatic issues in both print and electronic media were examined. We focused on the non-linguistic elements in targeting message. We also considered how linguistic elements interfere with non-linguistic ones in communicating message. The paper investigated some crucial pragmatic issues in modern advertisement slogan. We discovered the role of both linguistic and non-linguistic elements in conveying messages from the advertisers to their audience. We also found out that context play a vital role in the choice of language use in advertising. We discovered a drastic semantic distortion or obstacle in modern advertisement slogan as a result of some pragmatic loopholes inherent in advertisement such as ambiguities, anomalies and deifications. It was also found out that advertisers do objectify experience at the expense of their customers. We concluded that there are some pragmatic squabbles facing advertisement. Our data was collected through bill boards, graffiti news papers, magazines etc. And the work was framed on Bach and Harnish (1979) theory of mutual contextual belief.
