RESUMO
Three-dimensional printing is a non-conventional additive manufacturing process. It is different from the conventional subtractive manufacturing process. It offers exceptional rapid prototyping capabilities and results that conventional subtractive manufacturing methods cannot attain, especially in applications involving curved or intricately shaped components. Despite its advantages, metal 3D printing will face porosity, warpage, and surface roughness issues. These issues will affect the future practical application of the parts indirectly, for example, by affecting the structural strength and the parts' assembly capability. Therefore, this study compares the qualities of the warpage, weight, and surface roughness after milling and grinding processes for the same material (316L stainless steel) between rolled steel and 3D-printed steel. The experimental results show that 3D-printed parts are approximately 13% to 14% lighter than rolled steel. The surface roughness performance of 3D-printed steel is better than that of rolled steel for the same material after milling or grinding processing. The hardness of the 3D-printed steel is better than that of the rolled steel. This research verifies that 3D additive manufacturing can use surface processing to optimize surface performance and achieve the functions of lightness and hardness.
RESUMO
Cinnamomum osmophloeum Kanehira belongs to the Lauraceae family of Taiwan's endemic plants. In this study, C. osmophloeum Kanehira extract has shown inhibition of tyrosinase activity on B16-F10 cellular system first. Whether extracts inhibited mushroom tyrosinase activity was tested, and a considerable inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase activity by in vitro assays was presented. Animal experiments of C. osmophloeum Kanehira were carried out by observing animal wound repair, and the extracts had greater wound healing power than the vehicle control group (petroleum jelly with 8% DMSO, w/v). In addition, the antioxidant capacity of C. osmophloeum Kanehira extracts in vitro was evaluated. We measured C. osmophloeum Kanehira extract's free radical scavenging capability, metal chelating, and reduction power, such as biochemical activity analysis. The results showed that a high concentration of C. osmophloeum Kanehira extract had a significant scavenging capability of free radical, a minor effect of chelating ability, and moderate reducing power. Further exploration of the possible physiological mechanisms and the ingredient components of skincare product for skin-whitening, wound repair, or antioxidative agents are to be done.
