Powder bed fusion is another name for selective
laser sintering (SLS/SLM). A product is generated
by selectively melting successive layers of powder
by interacting with a laser beam. Irradiation heats
the powder material, which melts and forms a liquid
pool if enough power is applied. The molten pool
solidifies and cools quickly, and the consolidated
material begins to take shape.

As shown on the figure above, NASA have different facilities Roubenj S. Estrada
in building different parts of their space craft, one of the
facility they showed is the area where they assemble their
aircraft boosters. The facility also have a 3d printing
laboratory that helps them to create a variety of rockets and
spacecrafts. The next area that they showed in assembling
space crafts as shown at the figure above is where they
construct and accurately engineer the parts of the space
craft such as fuel, electronics, life supports, and
communication systems which are configured to maximize
safety.The following spacecraft that NASA constructed are: Roubenj S. Estrada

out of the building allowing the fire fighters to rescue them safely. The
materials are constructed in the building in order to decrease the
amount of damage in the building. Passive fire protection such as fire-
rated walls and doors helps to prevent the building to collapse. Passive
fire protection is applied on the steel structure of the building that coats
the steel when it is exposed to fire. While compartmentation is used to
separate areas, protect shafts, and escape routes. It also applied to fire
resistant doors that helps to minimize the spread of fire.

The engines that I saw in the virtual tour is the Detroit DD5,
DD13,DD15, and DD16. The first engine is the Detroit DD5
which is the first engine that they released to the market. It
was made with the same engineering and sound principles
of their heavy duty engines such as DD13, DD15, and
DD16. The DD5 engine has the most advanced technology
engineered.

6. Technically explain the differences (too many) of German Sindelfingen Car Factory versus a
Japanese Toyota Car Factory versus an American Detroit Factory? Answer Completely.
Toyota car factory uses technology in manufacturing cars. They mostly use
robots for precise cutting and measuring of the parts. To bring the designers' Roubenj S. Estrada
thoughts to life with excellence, Toyota's production process begins with team
members using everything from computer controlled laser technology to manual
grinding equipment. It demonstrated their unique technique of building their
automobile with accurate measurements and maximizing the usage of robots to
handle the majority of the labor. They put a lot of care into their automobiles,
especially in the painting process, which involves eight steps. Toyota's success
is due to their manufacturing ingenuity, which has resulted in high-quality,
dependable, and efficient vehicles that may endure for many years.
Cement is made of limestone, clay, and raw materials which are crushed
and mixed together then it is cooked in high temperature then it is crushed
again until it turned into powder then it is mixed with Gypsum and it is
stored in cement silos which is ready for packing. Cement is a fine powder
made from lime and clay that has been calcined. It may be mixed with
water to form mortar, or with sand, gravel, and water to make concrete, one
of the world's most versatile construction materials. One of the effects of
cement is that it is used to build strong structures that can withstand impact
and it is strong enough to make your home last in harsh weather. It is also
more safer to use in building establishments since it is not flammable. While
the effects of cement on humans is that it can burn your skin and it is also
dangerous to inhale. It may also cause irritation on nose, throat, and eyes
and it is also cause you to have trouble in breathing. You may also suffer
from respiratory disease if you are exposed for a very long time. Roubenj S. Estrada
The main ingredients of beer is barley, hops, and yeast. The
most common grain used is malted barley. Hops are generally
used to balance out the sweetness of the malt. Hops are also
used to preserve the beer. The brew is then fermented into
alcohol by brewer's yeast. Other grains are used in place of
barley in some brews, such as wheat, maize, or rice. Some
brewers make their beers with fruits, herbs, and spices to give
them a distinctive flavor. Depending on the beer type and
formula, beer's alcohol level can range from less than 3% to
40%. The alcohol content of most pale lagers is between 4%
and 6%. Beer contains carbs, a tiny quantity of B vitamins,
and potassium from hops, yeast, and grains.

Marine-grade plywood, often known as marine plywood, is not
what it appears to be. It isn't waterproof, in other words. It's a
good-quality hardwood plywood with waterproof glue, but it's
not rot-resistant because it's not treated with chemicals. The
better grades are also lighter, stronger, and nearly defect-free.
This plywood's characteristics make it a popular choice for
manufacturing boats and boat parts. It's also a good choice for
long-lasting outdoor furniture projects in coastal locations,
especially once a strong protective finish is applied. The water
resistance of marine plywood is excellent. It also lasts a long
time after being exposed to water. As a result, it's useful for
producing boat and ship parts. However, because it is not
Roubenj S. Estrada
entirely waterproof, it will need to be replaced after a few years
or decades. This Plywood is made up of a lot of tiny wood bits.
As a result, it may be readily folded to fit your needs. Marine
plywood is both durable and adaptable. So that it rotates and
does not fracture like wood when pressed harder on the
plywood.
The Blow and Blow method or the Press and Blow procedure can be
used to make glass bottles. The type of glass bottle being produced
determines which method is used. All glass bottles begin as
unprocessed materials. The desired characteristics of the bottle are
blended into a particular mixture of silica (sand), soda ash, limestone,
and cullet (furnace-ready, recycled glass). The combination is then
melted in a furnace at high temperatures until it forms a molten
substance that can be formed. Soda-lime glass, the most common
form of glass for food and beverages, will be produced by this mixture.
The advantages of glass packaging are obvious: it is environmentally
friendly, inert, 100% and endlessly recyclable, reusable, and refillable;
and it is safe to store food and beverages in. Glass is completely
recyclable and may be recycled indefinitely without losing its quality or
purity. Glass recycling is a closed-loop technology that produces no
trash or byproducts. Glass is one of the few materials that can be
recycled several times without losing its quality. Reusing glass bottles Roubenj S. Estrada
decreases total environmental effect and enhances the glass's long-
term value many times over. For particular market situations,
returnable glass is a suitable alternative solution the industry may
provide.
Aluminum is mainly made from Bauxite. In tropical countries,
bauxite is usually mined and delivered by boat. Electrolysis
must be used to break the bonds between aluminum atoms
and oxygen molecules in bauxite in order to produce pure
aluminum. Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat and
electricity. It is a light metal with a density and rigidity roughly
one-third that of steel. It's ductile and malleable, so it may be
machined, cast, and extruded with ease. Aluminium is not
soluble in water or alcohol under normal conditions.
Aluminum has a high reflectivity, which makes it ideal for
mirrors. Furthermore, because powdered aluminium retains
its full silvery reflectivity, it is frequently used in silver paints.

10. “How it’s Made” video. Explain each WASTE product (if NOT mentioned in the video research
it!) generated by EACH factory and its EFFECT to the ENVIRONMENT mentioned in week 6 with
pictures. Answer completely.
Clinker production and spoil rocks, which are separated from the
raw materials during the raw meal processing, are the major
sources of solid waste in cement manufacture. Solid waste also
includes kiln dust and fly ash from power plants. Plant
maintenance generates other waste, such as spent oil and metal
scrap. The solid waste known as cement by-pass dust, which is
collected from the bottom of the dust filter, is the primary source
of pollution created by the cement industry. Because of its size
(1-10 millimeters) and alkalinity, it constitutes a serious pollution
concern in Egypt, where 2.4 million tons of cement dust are
dispersed into the atmosphere each year, producing air pollution
problems (pH 11.5) (El Haggar, 2005).

Brewer's wasted grain, hot trub, and leftover brewer's yeast are
the three primary brewing industry byproducts. Proper waste
management may save money while also protecting the
environment from pollutants caused by their excessive buildup.
These wastes are difficult for manufacturers to dispose of, yet
they are excellent for reuse in the food business. They can be
used as a low-cost, high-nutrient source of feed and food
additives due to their composition. Beer wastewater contains a
high concentration of organic matter, such as untreated
wastewater discharged directly into natural water bodies, where
natural degradation of microbes in the water blooms, consuming
natural dissolved oxygen in the water body, depriving the water
of oxygen, and eventually resulting in water quality that is Roubenj S. Estrada
blackened, smelly, and polluted (Qin, 2018).
Plywood industry environmental effects may be divided into two
categories: onsite and offsite. Onsite impacts are those that
occur at the point of manufacture, whereas offsite impacts are
those that occur during the harvesting of timber used as a
plywood input. The plywood industry pollutes the air, water,
noise, and soil. Due to transportation and energy use, it also has
a high carbon impact. Surface water near the plywood industry
can be polluted by runoff, while ground water inside the facilities
and outside can be polluted by infiltration. Leaching of organic
compounds from the storage of timber, bark, and saw dust
causes soil pollution in the ply wood business. Process chemical
and hydrocarbon waste runoff and drainage.

Glass manufacture has a significant environmental effect due to
atmospheric emissions from melting operations. CO2 is
produced by the burning of natural gas/fuel oil and the
breakdown of raw materials during the melting process. This is
the sole greenhouse gas produced during the glass
manufacturing process. Acidification can be caused by sulphur
dioxide (SO2) from the fuel and/or the breakdown of sulphate in
the batch ingredients. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) contribute to
acidification and smog production owing to high melting
temperatures and, in some circumstances, breakdown of
nitrogen compounds in batch materials. Particles can be
released into the atmosphere as molten glass and raw
ingredients evaporate. Roubenj S. Estrada
Steel manufacturing has a multitude of environmental
consequences, including CO, SOx, NOx, and PM2 emissions,
wastewater pollutants, hazardous wastes, and solid wastes.
Coking and iron-making have the greatest environmental effect
from integrated steel plants. Steel manufacturing produces a lot
of coke, which is one of the primary pollution causes. The
majority of iron-making by-products are slag, limestone, and iron
ore impurities gathered at the top of the molten iron. Sulfur
dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are volatized and collected in air
pollution control equipment, with the slag supplied to the building
sector. While this isn't a pollution-prevention strategy, the solid
waste isn't dumped in landfills.

Sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are volatized and collected in
air pollution control equipment, with the slag supplied to the
building sector. While this isn't a pollution-prevention strategy,
the solid waste isn't dumped in landfills (Brough & Jouhara,
2020). Both the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are severely
impacted. Aluminium is harmful to gill-breathing organisms like
fish and invertebrates in the aquatic environment because it
causes a loss of plasma- and haemolymph ions, which leads to
osmoregulatory failure. Plants may collect aluminum.
Invertebrates and plants polluted with aluminum might thus be a
pathway for aluminum to infiltrate terrestrial food systems.
