“…Although 3D printing technology has been used since the 1980s, it has only recently gained real momentum, as the technology matures and awareness grows. Driven by new applications, the “printable” category keeps expanding into many fields such as medicine, architecture, education, fashion, manufacturing, even food (Lombardi, Hicks, Thompson, & Marbach‐Ad, ; Murphy & Atala, ; Petrick & Simpson, ; Qing et al., ; Sun, Peng, Yan, Fuh, & Hong, ; Thomas, Hiscox, Dixon, & Potgieter, ). Within zoology, it has already been showing great potential in functional morphology, pest detection, anatomy, and physiology (Domingue et al., ; Greco et al., ; Igic et al., ; Porter, Adriaens, Hatton, Meyers, & McKittrick, ; Thomas et al., ).…”

Three-dimensional printing technology has shown its importance in many fields. In this study, the potential of this technique in zoological systematics was assessed.For the first time, 3D printed models were incorporated in the description of a new genus as a complement to pictures and drawings to illustrate complex 3D structures and to be used in education. Hereby, we also tested the performances of different printing materials and suggest resin as the most suitable option for the zoological field. As a case study, Labrys chinensis gen. nov., sp. nov. was described using an integrative approach: detailed morphology based on light-and electron microscopy, phylogenetic position as revealed from two ribosomal RNA genes, generic traits were tested for homoplasy, and the intra-and interpopulation variations of four sampled populations were analyzed. The new genus belongs to the subfamily Tylenchinae, family Tylenchidae in the infraorder Tylenchomorpha. It is characterized by a unique labial plate that has four narrow lobes with tips detached from the adjacent cuticle, laterally broad elongated amphidial apertures, a strong sclerotized excretory duct, a round spacious postvulval uterine sac, and a spicule with a sharp protrusion at the blade.

“…In novel applications such as 3D food printing, the study of the thermal properties and phase transitions is of great interest in the determination of optimal printing conditions. The DSC analysis is crucial for the understanding of the processing conditions and optimization of shape, color, taste, texture, and nutritional composition [58][59][60]. For example, Mantihal et al [61] studied the 3D printable conditions of chocolate adding 5% of magnesium stearate (Mg-St) as a lubricant enhancer.…”

Application of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC) in Food and Drug Industries

et al. 2019

Phase transition issues in the field of foods and drugs have significantly influenced these industries and consequently attracted the attention of scientists and engineers. The study of thermodynamic parameters such as the glass transition temperature (Tg), melting temperature (Tm), crystallization temperature (Tc), enthalpy (H), and heat capacity (Cp) may provide important information that can be used in the development of new products and improvement of those already in the market. The techniques most commonly employed for characterizing phase transitions are thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Among these techniques, DSC is preferred because it allows the detection of transitions in a wide range of temperatures (−90 to 550 °C) and ease in the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the transitions. However, the standard DSC still presents some limitations that may reduce the accuracy and precision of measurements. The modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) has overcome some of these issues by employing sinusoidally modulated heating rates, which are used to determine the heat capacity. Another variant of the MDSC is the supercooling MDSC (SMDSC). SMDSC allows the detection of more complex thermal events such as solid–solid (Ts-s) transitions, liquid–liquid (Tl-l) transitions, and vitrification and devitrification temperatures (Tv and Tdv, respectively), which are typically found at the supercooling temperatures (Tco). The main advantage of MDSC relies on the accurate detection of complex transitions and the possibility of distinguishing reversible events (dependent on the heat capacity) from non-reversible events (dependent on kinetics).

“…Using SLS, CandyFab Project has successfully created various attractive 77 complex structures using sugar powders which could not be produced by conventional ways 78 (CandyFab 2007). Binder jetting offers advantages such as fast fabrication, building of complex 79 structures and low material cost (Sun, Peng, Yan, Fuh, & Hong, 2015). Based on binder jetting, 80 Southerland and Walters (2011) investigated the fabrication of edible constructs using sugars and 81 starch mixtures.…”
