Self-organized 3D-printing Patterns Simulated by Cellular Automata

چکیده
3D printers are usually used for printing objects designed by 3D CAD exactly, i.e., deterministically. However, 3D printing process contains stochastic self-organization process that generate emergent patterns. A method for generating fully self-organized patterns using a fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer has been developed. Melted plastic filament is extruded constantly in this method; however, by using this method, various patterns, such as stripes, splitting and/or merging patterns, and meshes can be generated. A cellular-automata-based computational model that can simulate such patterns have also been developed.

Blueprint for Self-replicating and Self-assembling 3D Printers
In the 1940s Stanislaw Ulam and John Von Neumann came up with the idea of cellular Automata (CAs), which Von Neumann later used to develop a universal constructor (Neumann, 1966). The universal constructor is a pattern implemented in a CA that consists of a two parts: The universal constructor and a tape. The universal constructor reads from the tape and produces what is encoded. A universal co...
متن کاملCyclic Cellular Automata in 3D
Cyclic cellular automata in two dimensions have long been intriguing because they self organize into spirals and that behavior can be analyzed. The form for the patterns that develop is highly dependent upon the form of the neighborhood. We extend this work to three dimensional cyclic cellular automata and observe self organization dependent upon the neighborhood type. This includes neighborhoo...

Quantum cellular automata (QCA) enables performing arithmetic and logic operations at the molecular scale. This nanotechnology promises high device density, low power consumption and high computational power. Unlike the CMOS technology where the ON and OFF states of the transistors represent binary information, in QCA, data is represented by the charge configuration. The primary and basic devic...

متن کاملSelf-organized criticality in spatial evolutionary game theory.
Self-organized criticality is an important framework for understanding the emergence of scale-free natural phenomena. Cellular automata provide simple interesting models in which to study self-organized criticality. We consider the dynamics of a new class of cellular automata which are constructed as natural spatial extensions of evolutionary game theory. This construction yields a discrete one...
