#Batch Printing Machines Manufacturer

[thehandwixard]

Hi! I really like your worldbuilding and was wondering if you had any ideas for how their equivalents of a printing press would be considering that Firth mentions getting the paper and I imagine they have some type of reading material like books or scrolls. 

Like if they use ink of some sort, the most obvious answer being from squids on some level or if they have a different form of manufacturing it as since squids are sapient here, they probably wouldn’t be too enthused about being mined for ink. Or it’s something like old thrown out paints, inks, and writing material from humans, though either way the question of how they would get certain materials to adhere underwater is questionable in itself. There are such things as waterproof paper and underwater writing utensils but I don’t imagine those would be common to come by nor do I think they would have that great of a ability really have much of the ability to manufacture them themselves on a large scale.

Or they just cut out the letters and symbols from stuff already printed by humans serial killer style, sort of like what the Bottom Feeders sign does

Hi, I wrote this one out in a doc to format it because i was thinking about so much information. This is going to be typed more formally than it would be otherwise because my program autocapitalizes lest i go insane. Its gonna be a little disjointed regardless. <3 giant wall of text under the cut im not subjecting anyones dash to this unprompted

As a preface: gonna assume paper, fabric, and other organic and/or delicate goods have a longer shelf life in this society, taking the same stance as for in-game props made of these materials. The cigarettes do not really dissolve and some paper can exist indefinitely, though it and cardboard are understood to be soggy. Whether this is due to sapient creature activity/preservation, or just due to the more cartoon logic of the setting and game design needs.

like this is just a good statement for my analysis and reads on this game's worldbuilding in general: there are a lot of things in crabgame that are not scientifically accurate and that is literally the most ok thing in the universe because of the needs of the gameplay, the story, just like ETC there is a lot of love for the real ocean in crabgame and thats what matters, and ill work around that. i, however, am also insane.

Also keep in mind that humans dont really do manufacturing and crafts underwater so while i’ve tried to keep water stuff in mind there is just not the info for how making oil based inks or individual batches of paper would work underwater yknow? Educated guesses. Wikipedia educated guesses.

Further assumption: Definitely agree with what u said about crabs not really having an ability to manufacture stuff on a large scale. I’m gonna assume factory work could definitely be a thing, but maybe not widespread like… industrialization. Industry is certainly a big and well-known thing in new-carcinia, and i don’t doubt that shellfish co. probably has some machine-powered factories, but most industry is probbbably going to be supplied through scavenging either way, even if it also includes craft and such. 

Third assumption: easy answer is that due to the trash economy yeah a lot of paints and inks used in theoretical printing, writing, and art would probably be, and have been scavenged from trash for a long time, probably superceding any of the previously implied small factories or home production joints. This isnt to say that these production methods could not be adopted for the trash economy though. Ill get into it. 

(clears throat) with all that said, through my basic research id have to say i think much manual writing and art, if made either through wholly original production or a mix of scavenging and refining, would be done through an equivalent to Grease Pencils, a wax writing tool which can make marks on hard and glossy surfaces, such as (relevant to crabs or other water critters) rock, ceramic, glass, metal, etc. there are many sources pigments for these writing implements could be derived from, like iron oxides (for use in reddish dyes), tyrian purple (there is actually a snail in the pacific that can be farmed for this dye without execution, Plicopurpura pansa iirc, who knew!) and carbon (ill return to this). 

You mention the ethical concerns of farming sapient squids for their ink and I do agree with those, no matter how much ink cephalopods produce its still like… a resource made from a person and production cant exactly rise to demand without the horrors occurring. However, i’m mostly just skeptical of how useful squid ink would be for writing underwater. This ink is almost entirely melanin particles bound together with mucus, which does eventually disperse in water. Not to say it couldnt be collected, but i feel like underwater application would be kind of a fruitless task. 

As an aside, with the general (really frightening (in a good way) to me) lack of molluscs we see in another crab’s treasure, tyrian purple or anything derived from molluscs would likely be largely out of the question. Some sea hares can also eject ink colored from the pigments they ingest from seaweed but also, this ink is toxic and… same mollusc problem. I guess people irl can eat sea hares so maybe with prep crabs could… who knows . Oh fuck pigments could be derived from seaweed and algae. Keep that in mind. 

I don’t… reject the possibility that crab society could have agricultural or dye farms but we only hear tell of like… One sardine farm and it is not sounding good for them. I don’t think these guys would really have any incentive to farm as little guys who can eat most things, one soldier in slacktide mentions scavenging heartkelp with their own claws. Probably some very small operations if any. 

ASIDE OVER THAT WAS JUST PIGMENTS MOSTLY, to me the tricky part is what IS the waxy part. The grease. The thing that does not dissolve in water. Again, these component parts can probably be scavenged (and probably Have been scavenged since even before the trash economy, canisters of wax definitely fall overboard whaling ships and such) but i honestly can’t think of many ways a crab could make such a substance wholecloth. Perhaps creation of a quasi-inkstick with agar-agar or animal glue (fish glue/isinglass) and pigment? Which would naturally be a bit wet and wouldnt need an inkstone to gather the substance onto the printing apparatus.

For the stuff crabs actually write or print on, assuming a form of this is possible underwater i think pressed homemade paper would be a perfectly reasonable option for small-scale applications, though honestly imo “the paper” (newspaper) that firth mentions is probably printed on either re-used scavenged coated paper or scavenged/manually flattened thin plastic sheets. With access to machinery, shellfish co. would likely be able to manufacture thin plastic sheets, the npc LaTuna mentions her dress being created somehow by Shellfish co. and so i dont doubt that type of simple production is possible. We also see a lot of writing on cardboard so im gonna assume scavenged paints or these like. Agar inks and paint stamps will work on those? Maybe with some kind of sealant…

And of course as u mention bottomfeeders and shellfish desires both have signs that are made out of english letters that were pre-made, so thats probably a good option when applicable.

North Carolina State University researchers have demonstrated a technique that allows people who manufacture metal machine parts with 3D printing technologies to conduct automated quality control of manufactured parts during the finishing process. The technique allows users to identify potential flaws without having to remove the parts from the manufacturing equipment, making production time more efficient. "One of the reasons people are attracted to 3D printing and other additive manufacturing technologies is that these technologies allow users to quickly replace critical machine components that are otherwise difficult to make outside of a factory," says Brandon McConnell, co-corresponding author of a paper on the work. "And additive manufacturing tools can do this as needed, rather than dealing with supply chains that can have long wait times. That usually means using 3D printing to create small batches of machine parts on demand." McConnell is an assistant research professor in NC State's Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering.

I have at least made a little progress in the salon today. Lots of ponies conditioned and processed into the next station. VERY many needing SunBox, and one batch in there already.

I've had to make a personal project soup to make room for work ponies, and those can sit with their hair set until I'm ready to work on them again. Will have good set with time.

I also got That Guy's and my laundry done today. I regret starting doing his laundry and I only did that because he paid for my medical bills. I'd rather he started doing it again since we're both working, now, though I am only working part time.

Very regret backing out of the Dollar Tree and Food Bank interviews, now. I had my eyes set on that mail room job too much. Granted, both of those jobs would be difficult for me to have done, too. The Dollar Tree is on the way of That Guy's work and if I could have gotten a 5am to 3pm shift on weekdays it would have been fine but they were only hiring part time. I could have walked to downtown after work, though.

The food bank IS downtown but like I'd gone over previously, I'd be dropped off around 5am and have to find somewhere safe to be between then and when stores and things started opening a few hours later, and also be stuck outside again from 1pm to about 3pm (or closer to 6pm on Son's theater rehearsal nights) waiting to be picked up.

Either way.

Tried looking for work again and I'm so despondent about it. I keep finding jobs I don't want to do but would just to be free and they all require experience that I don't have. It's not the kind of experience I can just say "I'll learn it on the fly" either, because it's things like "Must be familiar with siding extrusion machines" and "must have 1 year experience manufacturing printing plates because this isn't an entry level job, it's a job posting meant for advancement" and things like that. There's a customer service job at an insurance agency open. I don't know anything about insurance.

There's no work that I can do that is enough to support myself. Still.

And I'm struggling so badly with this gas station job.

The Commonly Used Metal 3D Printing Materials

Metal 3D printing uses a variety of metal powders, wires, and even liquid resins infused with metal. Almost any metal can be 3D printed, from stainless steel to nickel-based alloys, and in practice, about 8 are most commonly used. The most common question about metal 3D printing is: Will the final part have the same mechanical properties as a machined, moulded or forged metal part? The answer is yes, and sometimes even better mechanical quality, but it depends a lot on the metal 3D printing technology you use, the type of feedstock used, post-processing and the shape of the part. In addition, the comparison depends on the aspects you are concerned about: for example, tensile strength, static load strength, high cycle fatigue, and so on.

In general, the material properties of metal parts made by metal bond jetting are equivalent to those of metal parts produced by metal injection moulding, and it is one of the most widely used manufacturing methods for the mass production of metal parts. These 8 metal alloys below are just the beginning of what is possible today as metal material producers continue to push the boundaries and customize metal alloys for specific needs using specific metal 3D printing technologies.

1.Stainless Steel Feature: All-round Stainless steel is not the material most commonly used in 3D printing, but many alloy varieties. The first two are 316L and 17-4 PH, but also 304L, 15-5 PH, 420, 254, PH1, GP1, 630, and 410 can be printed, as well as custom blends produced by material manufacturer. These steels are specifically designed to resist corrosion. They are a lightweight and affordable metal that is ideal for 3D printing. This is because it is faster and cheaper than traditional methods and can print small batches and complex parts. 3D printing is the preferred option for companies that need a single tool or several replacement parts. Stainless steel can be used in almost any type of 3D printing, from economical wire for extruded 3D printing on benchtop machines to powder for binder jetting and laser powder bed fusion, and even resin.

2.Tool Steel Feature: High hardness, good wear resistance Tool steels, like stainless steels, come in different varieties with different tensile strengths, ductility, hardness and other properties. Tool steels are a variety of alloy steels designed specifically for the manufacture of tools. They are known for their hardness, wear resistance and ability to hold a cutting edge at high temperatures. This 3D printing steel is commonly used in the manufacture of injection mould inserts, aerospace components, military applications, manufacturing tools, as well as construction and architecture. The main advantage of 3D printed tool steel is not only its strength, but also its unique ability to create parts with internal channels (e.g. cooling channels in moulding tools) and lattice fillings that cannot be manufactured by traditional methods.

3.Low-Alloy Steel All 3D printing steels are alloys, but this category includes steels with low or less than 5 per cent of other elements. These low alloy steels are designed to have higher mechanical properties and greater resistance to wear and corrosion than other steels which are commonly used in automotive, aerospace and structural applications.

4.Aluminum Feature: Lightweight and corrosion resistant For aerospace, automotive and industry, the design freedom and cost efficiency of 3D printing further enhances the lightweight and chemical resistance of aluminum components. The use of aluminum and aluminum alloys in 3D printing is surging because the metal is economical and easy to 3D print. Like most metals, aluminum can be used as wire or powder for a variety of 3D printing techniques. Aluminium has good chemical resistance, is very light and has one of the best strength-to-weight ratios of any metal. Combined with silicon and magnesium, it is the choice of many in the aerospace and automotive industries because of its ability to withstand harsh conditions.

5.Titanium Feature: Lightweight and biocompatible As strong as steel but half the weight, titanium is a complex metal that is practically made for 3D printing. Titanium has become one of the most commonly used metals in additive manufacturing, with a wide range of applications in aerospace, joint replacement and surgical tools, racing car and bicycle frames, electronics and other high-performance products. Titanium and titanium-based alloys offer high mechanical strength, high strength-to-weight ratios and better corrosion resistance than stainless steel. It makes rockets and aircraft lighter, thus saving fuel and increasing payload capacity. In the medical industry, 3D printed titanium implants have been successfully used in the spine, hips, knees and extremities due to the inherent biocompatibility and good mechanical properties of the metal, coupled with the ability to customize porous structures with 3D printing, allowing for osseointegration and mass customization for better patient outcomes.

6.Copper Feature: Electrical and thermal conductivity 3D printing using pure copper and space-age copper alloys is available with a range of metal 3D printers and services. You can create rapid copper prototypes using copper filament on an FDM 3D printer and large copper rocket boosters using copper alloys on a laser powder bed fusion 3D printer. There is also copper wire and copper resin for micro 3D printing. In fact, copper plays a huge role in the global sustainable development goals as a key component of electric motors, charging infrastructure, solar energy and batteries.

7.Nickel Alloy Feature: Extreme environments resistant Nickel-based alloys and "high-temperature alloys" are known for their excellent high-temperature strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance. These alloys retain their strength and mechanical properties at high temperatures. They are commonly used in demanding applications such as aerospace, gas turbines, chemical processing and marine environments. In recent years, these alloys have also become increasingly popular in 3D printing, especially in the aerospace and automotive industries. When referring to nickel alloys, you may hear the term inconel. Inconel is the trade name for a range of nickel-chromium-based high-temperature alloys, including IN625, IN718 and IN939. Nickel alloys are generally more expensive than other materials such as steel and aluminium and may not be suitable for low temperature applications.

8.Cobalt Chrome Feature: High temperature and corrosion resistance 3D printed cobalt chrome has a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance, making it a good material choice for aerospace components and industrial machinery. It is also biocompatible and is often used in orthopaedic implants, dental prosthetics and medical devices that require long-term contact with biological tissue. Cobalt-chromium alloys can be processed using additive manufacturing techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM) or electron beam melting (EBM). This allows complex geometries and customized parts to be produced with minimal material waste, making it attractive to industries adopting advanced manufacturing techniques.

To sum up, metal 3D printing uses a wide range of metal powders and wires, including stainless steel, tool steel, etc. to print complex parts with superior mechanical properties. Commonly used metals in 3D printing include aluminum, titanium, copper, nickel alloys, tool steel, cobalt-chromium alloys, stainless steel for aerospace, medical and jewellery applications and more.

I’m really sorry if this has been answered and I just totally missed it; I tried to look on your blog, but what’s the difference between old and new style?

a lot of the details are in the listings but here’s the run down:

these skirts are made by a different (new) manufacturer that does much better/more consistent sewing

the sizing is different

there are now 4 sizes instead of 3

the largest size is now a couple inches longer than the others

the material is different. previously it was a polyester/spandex knit. now it is a polyester/elastic weave and, again, is much higher quality

the printing is different. previously the designs were applied via a garment printer that printed at 100dpi, which was the max dpi the machine could handle. now the designs are applied via sublimation which can achieve up to i think 1400dpi (i only do 300dpi so as not to murder my computer, but the possibility exists)

the printing has been run through a wash test by the manufacturer. this means you should see less bleeding in your first wash and the skirts should be more fade resistant

the first batch of these skirts, which is currently in the store, have a different pocket placement. the pockets are sewn into the side seams and not attached to the waistband. this will be changed in our next batch of skirts, which we expect to go up in the store some time in june or july.

6.Saving on manufacturing costs CNC machining can provide significant manufacturing cost savings due to reduced material waste, increased efficiency and lower labour costs. The precision and automation of CNC helps to achieve a leaner, more cost-effective production process.

Applications of Acrylic CNC Machining

CNC machined acrylic has many industrial uses, with the material being most widely used in the optical and automotive industries.

Alternatives to Glass

Due to its excellent transparency and clarity, acrylic is used as a replacement for shatterproof glass in many industries, including automotive, aerospace and optical.

Acrylic is commonly used as a glass replacement for window structures in aquariums, submarines, and hockey arenas. It is also used in the manufacture of lighting components such as headlights in the automotive industry. However, lights used in optical and automotive applications often have complex shapes and may also require very tight tolerances to provide optimal performance.

Medical and Dental

Due to its good biocompatibility, acrylic can be used in a variety of medical applications, including cosmetic surgery, where it can be used as a dermal filler. Acrylic can also be used as a bone cement in orthopaedic surgery (often used in fracture repair, joint replacement surgery or in vertebroplasty to fix the vertebrae, stabilize the spine and alleviate pain), as well as in dentistry for a variety of purposes (e.g. dentures).

Consumer goods

The aesthetics of acrylic make it suitable for a wide range of consumer products from furniture to consumer electronics to musical instruments.

Precautions When Machining Acrylic

Acrylic is a useful and versatile material, but it usually fails when subjected to compressive and tensile forces. This means that machining the desired shapes and cavities into acrylic panels requires care and attention.

However, the digital precision of CNC machining greatly simplifies this task. It also greatly increases the speed of acrylic machining and allows input parameters to be programmed to meet a wide range of needs.

Workpiece clamping

Plastics and metals have different workpiece clamping requirements, and acrylic is no exception in this regard. All areas of the material must be clamped using jigs and vises (smaller parts) or using adhesives to secure the entire part to the table (larger parts). If budget allows, a vacuum table is best suited for acrylic machining because it can effectively clamp and unclamp the material without damaging it.

Machining

CNC machining of acrylic typically requires a steady feed rate. Feed rates that are too low can lead to heat build-up and chips sticking back to the part, which can greatly reduce the quality of the surface finish. Another way to prevent heat build-up is to pre-cool the acrylic material before machining begins to allow for better chip removal. During machining, it is best to use oil-free coolants as they do not react with the plastic.

Surface finishing

For an aesthetically pleasing product, acrylic needs to be polished after CNC machining to produce optimum clarity and light transmission in the part. This is usually done by using progressively finer grit sandpaper followed by hand polishing with a linen towel and polishing paste. For high-quality prototypes, such as automotive headlight lenses or taillight lenses, or windows for electronics, polishing must be done by hand, a job done by the most experienced and skilled employees.

To create a diffusion effect on acrylic parts, the surface can be sandblasted and textured, while milky white paint offers another aesthetic option. Or to colour the part while maintaining transparency, it can be painted and coloured after hand polishing.

Conclusion

Acrylic is widely used for its strength, toughness and transparency, and CNC machining provides a reliable method for manufacturing high-quality acrylic parts. Acrylic machining has a variety of industrial applications, such as optical, automotive, and medical, but requires care and attention to post-processing such as clamping and polishing. Benefits include good material compatibility, manufacturing high precision parts, increasing productivity, reducing waste, achieving high repeatability and saving manufacturing costs.
