Nasty

#1 Post by PlacentiaSoccerMom » Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:07 am

The city of Placentia had a parade over the weekend. The City placed Portable Toilets all along the parade route.

It's very windy right now. Actually it was very windy all night.

Many of the Portable Toilets are on their sides with liquid extruding from the sides.

If you're seeing extrusions, we're discussing solids.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrusion
Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed or drawn through a die of the desired cross-section. The two main advantages of this process over other manufacturing processes is its ability to create very complex cross-sections and work materials that are brittle, because the material only encounters compressive and shear stresses. It also forms finished parts with an excellent surface finish.[1]

Extrusion may be continuous (theoretically producing indefinitely long material) or semi-continuous (producing many pieces). The extrusion process can be done with the material hot or cold.

Commonly extruded materials include metals, polymers, ceramics, and foodstuffs.

This rings my bell, Confessor. It happens to be the process we utilize in our business, which is a Rapid Prototyping Service Bureau. We use a Dimension SST machine that produces 3D fused deposition models from extruded ABS plastic. :wink:

I could actually build a solid 3D model of the, umm, deposit- if someone would care to submit its design in an STL file-- the triangulated representation of a 3D CAD model. Somehow, I don't think this is going to happen. lol.

Oh, and PSM ....ewww.

It wasn't me! I didn't do it!! :shock:

Seriously, I'd be interested to hear any details you are at liberty to divulge...

We represented 3D against EOS. There were a lot of patents involved; if memory serves, we were asserting 7 against them, and they were asserting 16 against us. --Bob

OK, if there's a thread titled "Nasty" by PSM, you know I've got to read it. So what do I get for my trouble?

Poo and lawyers.
